Belowdecks, the full-beam
master suite includes a
walk-in closet, a twin vanity,
bureaus and a head with
shower ; Increased salon
space courtesy of the
‘forward dinette’ version
layout allows a media zone
with pop-up TV.for use in all weather. In addition to those stairs, the
builder offers two main-deck layouts. One has a formal
dining area for eight abaft the galley, while the other—
which was on this yacht—has a wraparound dinette in
the galley forward. The latter version (ideal for families
with lots of kids and grandkids) increases the salon space,
allowing for a media zone with pop-up TV.
If I had to choose one word for the 70’s salon,
it would be comfy. A standalone recliner chair is
aft, near the sliding doors to the cockpit (that chair
shouts, “Read a book here!”), and the couch and otto-
man are positioned for movie-watching. The galley is
steps away for munchies.
Outside, the aft deck has four teak and stainless
steel director’s chairs facing a transom settee across
an inlaid teak table—and the fi nish on that table is as
noteworthy as the rest of the Hatteras craftsmanship
throughout the yacht. From the warm teak planking
of the cockpit to the intricate inlays of the salon’s
pop-up TV console, Hatteras did a world-class job.
The whitewashed oak sole in the salon entryway is a
pleasant balance to the warm European walnut bulk-
heads and cabinetry with a satin fi nish. A thought-
ful touch, especially with kids abounding, is the day
head with oversized sink, next to the galley.LOA: 74ft. 6in. (22.7m)

board off the central companionway, with a double

Two additional cabins are for a captain and mate.
Standard power for the 70 Motor Yacht is a pair of
1,600-horsepower Caterpillar C32s, but this yacht’s
owners upped the ante with the optional 1,800-horse-
power version, which gives her a top speed around 30
knots and a comfortable cruise of 25 to 27 knots.
Additional standard equipment includes fi n
stabilizers, twin 27.4 kW gensets, a dual-prop bow
thruster and underwater lights. Best of all, however,
is the fully enclosed, air-conditioned bridge that
makes cruising so pleasant.
Just don’t be surprised if your guests can’t fi nd
your yacht because it looks so big. What a delightful
problem.For more information: 252 633 3101,
