Below is the city water connection.Ī freshwater shower allows for rinsing off before entering the clean yacht. Two shore cords are handled from electric reels.

Notice the gap under the hatch to allow the shore cord to exit the concealed compartment. The swim platform has stairs to both sides leading to the aft deck. Stair treads are teak ($6,068) and courtesy lights are added for transition after dark. Hatteras thoughtfully added rails to the sides of both sets of stairs that not only make the transition easier, it’s safer. There are molded steps to both sides that lead to the aft deck. A hydraulic option is available ($55,968) for those that wish either the convenience of a private beach or a place to store and launch a PWC or tender. A hatch to the starboard side conceals the two 50-Amp shore cords on electric reels along with the city water connectors. In the two corners are 12” (30.5 cm) pull-up cleats. Using the platform, it comes out from the transom 4’3” (1.30 m). Either from the side decks by way of a set of removable stairs, or from the swim platform. There are two ways to board the Hatteras M60. This gives her greater cruising range than most boats in class, particularly at 10 to 11 knots, where most yachtsmen like to cruise when making long passages. Fuel CapacityĪlso setting her apart is her 1,200-gallon (4,542 L) fuel capacity, which is 50% greater than some motoryachts her size. And at the deck, she won’t be put into a roll by a small boat wake, something quite common with lightweight, narrow yachts of the same length. With the extra beam comes extra weight, which further adds to her stability and comfort in a seaway.

The Hatteras M60 has an 18’2” (5.53 m) beam, which is the greatest in class and has benefits both in terms of more room all over the boat, but also in riding comfort offshore. The company has long catered to seasoned yachtsmen who are at once knowledgeable regarding the complexities of large yachts as well as possessing the ability to handle them. Being owner-operated goes to the core value of what Hatteras is all about. With this yacht, an owner can have access to any port that has fuel, while still having a first class entertainment platform and a distance cruiser all in one. Hatteras designed the M60 to serve as the lower end of the spectrum of yachts that can realistically be owner-operated for offshore cruising, while still having the upper end of the spectrum for amenities, fit-and-finish. The Hatteras M60 is small enough to be owner-operated while still providing blue water cruising capabilities for six.
