Hatteras 60GT Proven Offshore Performer with Expert Upgrades
A 60-foot convertible sportfishing yacht built in 2008 and located in Panama City Beach, Florida, this Hatteras 60GT combines serious offshore capability with thoughtfully arranged living spaces. Notable for a full PipeWelders tower, a flybridge helm with updated Garmin navigation, Furuno Omni sonar, and an upgraded CAT propulsion package maintained by a full-time captain and serviced by Elite Diesel, the boat presents as a ready platform for bluewater fishing and extended cruising. The ice-blue hull, five-blade Veem props with prop-speed, and large fuel capacity underscore its offshore intentions, while the three-stateroom, three-head interior provides comfortable accommodations for owners and guests.
60′ Convertible Sportfishing Yacht — Overview
At 60 feet on a deep-V fiberglass hull with a 19′ beam, this convertible is built for stability and performance in offshore conditions; the vessel carries three 1,850-gallon fuel tanks (totaling 5,550 gallons) and is fitted with a full tuna tower and flybridge for elevated sight fishing and long-range runs. The deck layout and hull form support tournament-style fishing yet the accommodation layout and systems—such as twin Caterpillar engines in an upgraded 1,825-hp package, dual 21.5 kW Onan generators, and robust systems monitoring—keep it functional for extended passages and family use.
Three-Stateroom, Three-Head Interior Layout Details
Below decks the arrangement centers around an athwartship master with a tapered king berth, cedar-lined lockers and a custom Tempur-Pedic pillow-top mattress, plus a VIP with cross berth and a guest cabin with upper/lower berths; each stateroom has private head access for three total heads, all equipped with Headhunter systems and finished with Amtico Teak & Holly flooring and cherry joinery. Climate is controlled via SMX thermostats throughout, storage is abundant in lined lockers and under-berth spaces, and thoughtful details such as dedicated master shower sump and mirror-backed vanity cabinets enhance daily comfort during extended outings.
Salon and Galley: Luxury Finishes and Systems
The salon and galley are finished with cherry woodwork, Amtico Teak & Holly entry flooring, upgraded granite countertops in the galley and head tops, and high-quality entertainment and galley systems that include under-counter refrigeration drawers, a dedicated freezer, a KitchenAid ceramic four-burner cooktop, microwave/convection, and a Whirlpool ice maker. The salon entertainment package features Boston Acoustics speakers and a large HD display, while overhead dimmable lighting, framed windows with duette blinds, and a sliding molded fiberglass door to the cockpit create an airy, functional social area for meal prep, relaxing, or hosting after a day on the water.
Cockpit, Mezzanine and Deck Fishing Equipment
The cockpit is a working angler’s space with mezzanine seating over insulated storage and refrigeration, an Eskimo ice maker feeding a large insulated box, two 60″ fish boxes, in-deck fish boxes with dog-down latches, transom tuna tubes and a livewell, plus tackle drawers and an insulated bait rigging box. Fighting gear includes a custom Release Marine chair and rocket launcher, a PipeWelders 43′ triple-spreader outrigger system with center rigger, electric Miya EPOC teaser reels, and multiple rod holders; underwater lights, mezzanine AC blowers and robust boarding access round out a deck designed for efficient tournament work and comfortable post-fight socializing.
Engines, Electronics and Recent Performance Upgrades
Power comes from the upgraded CAT engine package (rated at 1,825 hp), with approximately 3,500 recorded hours and full service records through Elite Diesel; drivetrain and systems include dual Racor filters, dripless shaft seals with spares, a reversible oil exchange system, fuel priming and transfer systems, and five-blade Veem props protected with prop-speed. Electronics have been modernized with upgraded Garmin displays on the flybridge and a Furuno Omni sonar in the engine room suite, while systems monitoring, CAT digital engine displays, FM-200 fire suppression, a 1,200 GPD watermaker and twin 21.5 kW Onan generators support extended trips and reliable operation offshore.
