Built in 1988, the Hatteras 52C is a solid, heavy-displacement American flybridge motor yacht with a genuine reputation for offshore work. Lying at Marsden Cove, she measures 15.85 metres with a 4.99 metre beam and draws 1.37 metres, numbers that add up to a steady, sea-kindly boat well suited to New Zealand's coastal and offshore waters. Below, the three-cabin layout gives proper room to live aboard, enough for extended cruising or taking the family away for a stretch.
The flybridge adds good all-round visibility and a solid spot to gather at anchor or keep watch on a passage. Hatteras built the 52C for real sea time, and owners have long valued it for comfort and range rather than flash styling. Price has come back to NZD $349,000, which is good buying for a boat of this size and pedigree.
She's lying at Marsden Cove now. Contact the broker to arrange an inspection.
