Built on a solid fiberglass hull with a wide 18'2" beam, the interior of the Hatteras 63 includes a roomy main salon separated from the lower helm by a room divider/helm seat with built-in entertainment center. The mid-level galley is down several steps from the helm/salon area and features large counter spaces for food preparation, abundant storage lockers and drawers, and booth style dinette for four.
