1985 Hatteras 53 Extended Deckhouse Motor Yacht

"True North" is perhaps the nicest 53 Hatteras "ED" that we have been aboard in a long time. She has been shed kept year 'round on the Upper Chesapeake Bay for the last 20+ years.  Always beautifully maintained - with lots of very nice recent upgrades. From her Awlgrip paint finish to her varnished brightwork to her pristine window trim - THIS BOAT SPARKLES! Come take a look and see for yourself.

This is a NEW LISTING as of July 7th, 2020. More photos and detailed specs to follow.

Please bear with us. Thanks!
