(LOCATION: Palmetto FL) The Hatteras 53 Motor Yacht is a Jack Hargrave design. Her long production run is a testament to her advancement of refined cruising. Cruising with a cocktail in hand requires a smooth quiet ride and the 53 MY does that with style.

On deck we start at the top with a flybridge with a new bimini canvas top. The upper helm has a 360º view and there is room for friends to share the view.
