Broker Overview

This 2002 Hatteras 65 Enclosed Bridge, 'Moontan,' presents a compelling opportunity for a buyer seeking a proven offshore platform with significant recent investment. Hatteras builds are known for their robust fiberglass construction, and this 65-footer is no exception, offering a stable and comfortable ride in varying sea conditions. The vessel is powered by twin Caterpillar 3412 engines, a preferred and reliable power package for this class, indicating serious offshore capability. A comprehensive refit in 2017-2018 is a critical factor, addressing many systems and aesthetics that typically require attention on a vessel of this vintage, bringing her closer to modern standards. The highly desirable 4-stateroom, 3-head layout provides exceptional accommodation for extended cruising or fishing trips, making it suitable for larger families or groups. The enclosed bridge offers climate control and excellent visibility, enhancing comfort and utility in all weather. While the asking price of $699,000 reflects the extensive upgrades and overall condition, a thorough survey will confirm the integrity of the refit work and remaining systems. This is a substantial vessel offering considerable value for its capabilities and recent investment.

Expert Review

The Hatteras 65 Enclosed Bridge is a serious offshore machine, built to tackle big water. Its fiberglass hull is renowned for its strength and a comfortable ride, a hallmark of Hatteras construction from this era. The twin CAT 3412s are a workhorse engine, providing ample power and a reputation for longevity if properly maintained. The 2017-2018 refit is a significant value add, as it addresses many of the common deferred maintenance items and aesthetic updates typically found on a 20-year-old vessel. When surveying, pay close attention to the quality of the refit work, particularly electrical and plumbing upgrades, and ensure all systems integrated during the refit are functioning correctly. Compare this vessel to similar Hatteras models or Viking and Bertram convertibles of the same vintage; the extensive refit and desirable layout often position it favorably. Given the investment, this boat represents a strong value proposition for a buyer prioritizing space, build quality, and offshore capability.
