Description
Proven Hull & Construction
- The Hatteras 52 Convertible utilises a modified-vee hull with cored fiberglass construction for strength and durability.
- The “double-chined” hull design gives improved lift, stability in open water, and good interior volume.
- A beam around 16′ (e.g., ~16′4″ for the early versions) gives significant interior and cockpit space.
- The construction quality and brand reputation of Hatteras contribute to long‐term value and resale desirability
- . Excellent Fishing / Cockpit Space (for the sport‐fish version)
- A very large cockpit: for the early Convertible version the specification lists a 12′ by 12′9″ (~153 sq ft) non-skid all-fiberglass cockpit area.
- Built-in features for fishing: bait/tackle consoles, live-bait wells, flush-mounted fish boxes.
- Easily accessible engine room from the cockpit in some models.
- For example, one listing describes: “Large, functional cockpit ideal for fishing, diving, or easy boarding … freshwater and saltwater washdowns; transom door to swim platform.”
- If you fish seriously, this kind of dedicated deck and working space is a major plus.
Versatile Layout – Fishing & Cruising
- Although designed as a sport-fisher, the Hatteras 52 offers accommodations and amenities for comfortable cruising. For example: 3 cabins, multiple heads, full galley, good salon.
- The layout allows for entertaining, overnight guests, or extended trips, not just day fishing.
- That dual‐purpose capability (serious sport‐fisher + “nice” cruising boat) is appealing to buyers who want flexibility.
Flybridge & Visibility
- The flybridge helm station offers elevated visibility and good access, which is critical for sport-fishing (watching the spread, spotting birds, etc.). For example: “helm station and instrumentation positioned to provide maximum visibility.”
- Seating for guests and companion seating on the flybridge make it comfortable for socialising or entertaining.
- The general design also tends to provide good natural light in the salon and good deck visibility. Example: listings mention “large side windows for
Good “All-Around” Value – For The Size
- Considering its size (52′) and capability, it often represents a value compared to more modern super-yachts or large sportfish.
- The listing prices of used models (e.g., ~$150,000 for an earlier one, ~$300,000 for later ones) reflect that relative value.
- For someone willing to invest in maintenance and who desires capability, the Hatteras 52 offers a lot for the price.
Potential for Customization / Upgrades
- Because the boat was built in an era where many systems are accessible and the hull and structure are solid, many owners upgrade electronics, stabilize systems, interior, etc.
- This means a buyer can pick one needing updates and tailor it to their needs (cruising vs tournament fishing) while benefitting from the strong underlying platform.
