1998 Hatteras 52 Cockpit Motor YachtSold

Step into this 52 and you immediately notice how “big” she feels for her length—wide side decks, solid rail height, and that unmistakable Hatteras heft underfoot. The cockpit isn’t just a bonus space; it turns line handling, boarding, and tender access into stress‑free, two‑person jobs. Inside, the three-stateroom layout separates guests and owners nicely, with enough storage for serious time aboard rather than just weekends. Engine room access is genuinely practical, not a yoga exercise, so routine checks actually get done. Between the hardtop, enclosure, and aft sunshade, the bridge and aft deck become true three‑season living areas, whether you’re running in a breeze or lingering over a late dinner at anchor.

In these waters, the 52 Cockpit Motor Yacht hits a sweet spot between cruising comfort and docking practicality. The solid Hatteras hull softens short, choppy fetch and wakes from commercial traffic, while the cockpit makes backing into tight slips, floating docks, and face docks far less daunting. Twin diesels deliver the range and reliability you want for runs between harbors, yet she’s still manageable for an owner‑operator. The raised salon and large windows keep you connected to the shoreline views, even on cooler or breezier days when you stay inside. Add the bow thruster and you’ve got a capable, confidence‑building platform for local cruising and seasonal adventures.
