Yachting USA — January 2018

TKTKTKBOAT NAME TKTK

As a result, the M90 Panacera incorporates creature comforts and
technologies typically reserved for the superyacht domain. ¶ This
isn’t to say that everything about the M90 breaks from tradition.
She is classically Hatteras in the built-to-cruise sense, with resin-
infused fi berglass construction, deep tunnels for shallow-water
running, and multiblade props for performance. Owners can
expect a 17- to 19-knot cruise speed and a 21- to 23-knot top
speed with standard 1,600 hp Caterpillar C32As, according to
the builder. (Optional 1,900 hp Caterpillar C32As provide a
22-knot cruise and better than 24.5-knot top-end.) The M90’s
general arrangement is just as classic, and classically American,

with a salon and formal dining area, country kitchen and four

staterooms, including a full-beam master belowdecks. ¶ Where

the M90 Panacera starts to surprise is in the way some of those

areas look and feel more spacious and feature-fi lled than they

do aboard more traditional motoryachts. For example, when’s

the last time a fold-down balcony appeared aboard a vessel

that’s 91 feet 9 inches length overall? The balcony is along the

salon’s port side and deploys hydraulically. It’s an optional

feature that Hatteras incorporated on Hull No. 1, a stock boat,

to show how the balcony can create a sense of openness and

enhanced appreciation for the sea. ¶ Other big-boat features
