New Model: Hatteras 60 Motor Yacht

The Hatteras 60 Motor Yacht is a further development and replacement of the 56 from the same range which the North Carolina builder launched during its Expo in May 2008. The 60 Motor Yacht extends the length and adds about a metre in size, and 4000 kilos to the 56 with these new developments. The extra feet go aft adding more waterline length, and giving more space to the stern cockpit bathing platform area. This also gives the possibility to order a single crew cabin aft, which was unavailable on the 56. Thanks to the further extended hull and bathing platform the 60 Motor Yacht now has also a further tender space aft which with the flybridge davit option makes it possible to carry two small private water craft. For the remaining the 60 Motor Yacht is much the same as the 56 and at the same time improves it a notch. The interior is the same three double cabin with mid ship full beam master stateroom, VIP suite to fore, and double L-shaped third. The main deck is a full open plan and can have an optional lower helm. In total the 60 Motor Yacht offers seven different arrangement plans which are: three options for the flybridge, two for interior saloon, and two for the lower deck. Power is from twin Cummins QSM-11 705hp as standard, or the optional Cats C18 1000hp. Speed figures have not been announced by Hatteras but the 56 Motor Yacht used to reach 29 knots with the bigger Cats 1000hp option. The extra waterline length surely is a speed bonus for the longer 60 Motor Yacht but with it also came an extra of 4000 kilograms.
