Step Aboard Aqua Terra

Experience the legendary offshore performance of a Hatteras paired with the modern reliability and comfort of a current-generation yacht. Over the last three years, Aqua Terra has undergone an exhaustive program of improvements, ensuring every system is optimized and every space is refreshed.

While other vessels of this vintage require a project list, this Hatteras is truly turn-key and ready for your next Great Loop adventure or coastal cruise.

It is rare to find a vessel where the owner has tackled the heavy lifting of modernizing the core systems while simultaneously elevating the interior luxury. Aqua Terra represents a unique opportunity to own a world-class yacht that feels, looks, and performs like a much younger vessel.

A Note From The Owners

Over the past three seasons during ownership, this yacht has been more than just a vessel—it’s been our sanctuary. Whether we were enjoying quiet mornings sipping coffee or hosting sunset get-togethers on the expansive aft deck, the ‘Hatteras ride’ never failed to impress with its stability and grace.

We believe in proactive ownership. That is why we spent our three years making constant, intentional improvements to every system, from the engine room to the soft goods. We are moving on to our next chapter, but we take great pride in knowing that Aqua Terra is truly ‘turn-key’ for its next owner. She is ready to cruise today, with all the heavy lifting already completed.

We hope you find as much joy and peace on the water in this beautiful yacht as we have.”

To where we are now…

Our journey of upgrading our Hatteras Motor Yacht has been an exhilarating experience, with many successful transformations completed that breathe new life into this iconic vessel. We’ve enhanced its performance with cutting-edge navigation systems, revamped its interiors with luxurious finishes, and upgraded its amenities to ensure both comfort and style during our adventures at sea. Despite the progress, we remain enthusiastic about future improvements, constantly seeking innovative ideas and technologies that can further elevate our cruising experience.
