1993 Hatteras CPMY

Step aboard and you’ll notice how well this Hatteras separates “cruising yacht” from “floating condo.” Wide, secure side decks with stout railings make line handling and docking far less dramatic, even in a crosswind. The lower helm and generous windshield give you a protected command center when the weather turns, while big opening windows and doors keep the interior feeling connected to the water. Engine-room access is proper Hatteras: space to get around both mains, straightforward systems, and the kind of wiring runs surveyors smile at. Solid doors, heavy hardware, and real joinery give the boat a reassuring, ship-like feel that’s rare in newer production boats.

In these waters, you want a yacht with serious hull pedigree and the ability to handle pop-up squalls, confused inlets, and long no-wake zones without beating up guests. The Hatteras CPMY’s semi-displacement hull, substantial weight, and stout bow make it comfortable in afternoon chop, while the aft deck and cockpit arrangement work beautifully for line handling at busy fuel docks and tight marinas. The flybridge sightlines are ideal for reading shifting channels and sandbars, and the reliable Detroit diesels are well known to local mechanics and yards, simplifying ownership in this boating hub.
