The Hatteras 60 Motor Yacht was the company’s “entry level” motoryacht when she was introduced in 2009. Designed to be owner operated, she’s a big 60-footer with a super-size interior compared with European yachts her size. The original floorplan had a circular dinette forward of the island galley and bridge steps to port. In 2010, however, the bridge staircase was eliminated in favor of an expanded country kitchen galley and L-shaped dinette with seating for six. The heart of the Hatteras 60 is her elegant salon with its stainless steel framed entry doors, sectional seating, and built-in entertainment center. There are three staterooms and two heads on the lower level including an enormous full-beam master with walkaround king bed, dressers and night stands, hullside ports, and en suite head with tub and shower. The forward VIP stateroom features a queen bed, and the port guest room has twin beds. The covered aft deck features a large settee with table and port stairwell leading down to the swim platform. Early models with Cat C-18 V-drive diesels (1,000hp) cruise at 20–22 knots. Direct drive C-18 (1,135hp) engines became standard after 2010.
