Where are Hatteras Yachts built?

Hatteras Yachts are built in New Bern, North Carolina, where all operations were consolidated in 1997. The brand originally launched in High Point, North Carolina in 1959, moved some operations to New Bern after AMF acquired the company in 1972, and has been single-site in New Bern for nearly three decades.

Who owns Hatteras Yachts?

Hatteras Yachts is owned by White River Marine Group, the boat-building arm of Bass Pro Shops, which acquired the brand in May 2021. Prior ownership ran through Brunswick Corporation (2001 to 2013) and Versa Capital Management (2013 to 2021), and the current owners have continued Hatteras production from New Bern, North Carolina.

What happened to Hatteras Yachts?

Hatteras went through significant downsizing during the post-2008 recession and was sold by Brunswick to distressed-investor Versa Capital Management in 2013. Versa stabilized production and operated Hatteras out of New Bern until selling the brand to White River Marine Group, the Bass Pro Shops boat-building parent, in May 2021. Hatteras has continued building convertibles and motor yachts in New Bern under the new owner.

When was Hatteras Yachts founded?

Hatteras Yachts was founded in 1959 when North Carolina textile manufacturer Willis Slane and a group of investors commissioned naval architect Jack Hargrave to design a yacht that could handle the rough waters off Cape Hatteras. The resulting fiberglass Hull One launched the brand and the modern offshore convertible category.

What size yachts does Hatteras make?

Hatteras' modern lineup centers on large sportfishing convertibles and motor yachts in roughly the 60 to 100 foot range, plus the GT-series convertibles. Across its history, Hatteras has built everything from smaller convertibles up to 130 foot motor yachts, which is why the used HMY Yachts inventory spans such a wide length range.

Who used to own Hatteras Yachts?

Hatteras has had several owners since its 1959 founding: AMF acquired the brand in 1972, Irwin Jacobs bought it in 1985, Brunswick Corporation acquired it in 2001, Versa Capital Management bought it from Brunswick in 2013, and White River Marine Group (Bass Pro Shops) became the current owner in May 2021.

Hatteras Yachts' own story traces the brand from founder Willis Slane's 1959 commission of naval architect Jack Hargrave through six decades of large sportfishing convertibles and motor yachts, and Power & Motoryacht's Hatteras GT63 test frames the modern GT convertibles around offshore handling and mezzanine-driven cockpit layouts. The active used Hatteras inventory on HMY Yachts currently spans model years 1965 to 2024, so buyers are comparing classic AMF and Brunswick-era convertibles and motor yachts alongside more recent GT-series boats.

For a used Hatteras, the major comparison points are model line (Convertible, Motor Yacht, GT, Sport Deck) and length, year, engine make and hours, generator load, mezzanine and cockpit configuration, electronics age, tower and outrigger setup, stabilization if fitted, soft goods, and refit history. Larger Motor Yacht and 80-foot Convertible hulls carry significant systems load, so generator, watermaker, and HVAC service records matter on survey.
