Project: Hatteras 56 Motor Yacht

Hatteras Yachts is pleased to announce the newest member of its fleet, the 56 Motor Yacht incorporating original design concepts, spacious interior and intuitive features that make this an ideal boat for the owner-operator. The new 56 Motor Yacht represents a new entry-level product for owners who appreciate the advanced design and robust construction that sets Hatteras apart. Like all Hatteras models, the 56 Motor Yacht features a solid-fiberglass hull bottom that includes beefy support for key areas such as the tunnels, shaft log and strut locations. Divinycell coring is infused into the hull sides, decks and superstructure to add stiffness and reduce weight, benefiting from advanced variable-deadrise design that utilizes large propeller tunnels to reduce draft and increase efficiency. Powered by a pair of 705hp Cummins QSM11s as standard equipment, installed in a V-drive configuration with the gearbox forward. This positions the engine room as far aft as possible and allows for more living space below. Combined with an 18 feet beam, this configuration gives the 56 MY as much interior volume as many yachts in the mid-60-foot range. Powered by its standard engines, the 56 Motor Yacht is expected to achieve a cruising speed of 18 knots and top end of 21 knots, providing a usable range of approximately 300 nautical miles. Optional 1000hp CAT C18s will push the 56 to a cruise of 26 knots and a top end of 29 knots. The 56MY features a three-stateroom, two-head arrangement that includes a 130-square-foot full-beam master stateroom amidships, a VIP stateroom forward, and guest bunks to port. An optional arrangement provides for a private crew quarters with discreet access, in lieu of the third guest stateroom.
