Higher level of boat building

In 1959 at Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, Willis Slane envisioned building a boat that would conquer the waters of Diamond Shoals and surmount the changing Hatteras weather. This new boat would have to be rugged and robust to take the pounding of the Atlantic waters. Thirty years of success later, all manufacturing was consolidated at the 95-acre waterfront shipyard in New Bern, North Carolina.

Designed for the ultimate cruising experience, by American craftsmen, the Hatteras 100 Motor Yacht has been designed for the tough who live the life of luxury and elegance. Known for its rugged sea-keeping ability, it is constructed of solid fiberglass with no coring. Deep gear ratios, coupled with larger propellers, provide constant speed under variable weather conditions and increased fuel efficiency. Hatteras goes to great lengths to design and engineer systems that exceed industry standards and to assure nautical safety.
