About Hatteras Sportfish

For when you want to fish in style

There are boats and there are yachts. The differentiating factor between the two is commonly associated with the LOA. For most, if a craft is over 40’ then it can be considered a yacht. But, there is more to it than that. Outboards are generally not considered to be yachts, and for this reason many of the Sportfish models on the market fall outside of the Yachting realm. This is not the case with the Hatteras Sportfish series.

The basics of the series

Hatteras Sportfish Yachts start at the 45’ LOA which clearly puts them within the yacht classification margin. Additionally, the yachts are inboard propulsion. These motors are CATs and are housed under the decking on the stern of the boat. Buyers should note that these are angler vessels. Even though they are considered to be yachts, the primarily focus of the Hatteras Sportfish Series is to provide a bit more luxury to the fisherman while at the same time maximizing the fishing experience and features on the vessel.

A higher vantage point

Apart from the Hatteras GT 45X all of the boats in the series have a fishing tower. Obviously, the Hatteras GT 45X Tower will be the boat which has the highest and most features on the tower, but the Hatteras GT 45X Flybridge does have one as well. The Flybridge and the Tower both use the concept that the fishing tower gives the angler the ability to see the water from above the horizon line. And while the technology options for the Hatteras Sportfish can have a fish finder, GPS, and other such common technological additions to the console, there is just something unique about seeing the water for oneself which makes for a great angler yacht.

Another height benefit are the features for trolling lines. Combined with the fishing deck, the rod holders, rocket holders, bait stations, and the bow serving as a casting deck, the Hatteras Sportfish yachts are tournament ready (and has proven to be such with multiple awards), able to handle most waters and offshore fishing adventurer’s demands.

As each angler is different, the pre-owned selection of Hatteras Sportfish boats are prone to have unique customizations. Just because it is not on the site does not mean that Hatteras Sportfish yachts do not have what you seek. Ask your yacht broker about features that are important to you.

An enclosed luxurious bridge

Unlike other vessels on the market, the Hatteras Sportfish yachts have a fully enclosed bridge. One may think that such an enclosure would limit the ability to fish, but this is not so. The wrap around glass as well as the open back of the bridge makes give full clarity to navigation. Coupled with the GPS and the touchscreens, as well as the available additions, one may find that the fishing experience is amplified beyond that which some smaller boats boast.

The touch of luxury

Perhaps the most vivid difference between the Hatteras Sportfish and other options on the market is the materials which are used in the construction and in the accenting of the vessel. While there are some fiberglass components and there is definitely a focus on creating non-slip surfaces, the yachts offered by Hatteras also have wooden decking, granite countertops, carpeting, lighted staircases, and plush leather in the furnishings. Additionally, the staterooms can be customized for V bedding in all of the Hatteras Sportfish yachts.

Storing/Docking

Once purchased, many yacht owners find that the moving or the docking of their yacht to be cumbersome. This is not the case with the Hatteras Sportfish. For those who wish to dock or port their yacht, then you have the option of using a marina or port, since most places can accommodate that size vessel.
