About This Yacht

MOTIVATED SELLER, ONLY ASKING $150,000 FOR THIS ROCK SOLID YACHT THAT IS PERFECT FOR LIVING ABOARD OR CHARTERING.

CO-BROKERAGE WELCOMED.

LATITUDE is a 1979 Hatteras 53 Classic that has only had two owners. The current owner has owned it for nearly 30 years and has taken excellent care of the yacht. The vessel is clean inside and out and shows very well. This owner has maintained the vessel each year of ownership, so it is survey and cruise ready. The 53 Classic was one of, if not the most desirable cruising yachts of this vintage and the perfect live-aboard.

As you approach the vessel you will notice the newer Alwgrip paint, completed in 2015 and still shining brightly. Once inside you will be impressed with the overall condition, especially the recently refinished Mahogany throughout the vessel. The aft sundeck provides the perfect location for alfresco dining, or entertaining guest in an open air environment. Below deck awaits a remodeled galley, three staterooms, three heads, and easy access to the engine rooms. LATITUDE is sure to impress.
