Boat Description
Introducing the stunning 1981 Hatteras 61 Cockpit Motor Yacht, "First Light." Unlike many boats that remain idle at the dock, First Light is a vessel that embodies the spirit of cruising. For the past four years, she has been a cherished home away from home, journeying along the East Coast from the Chesapeake Bay to Florida. This yacht has been consistently upgraded and maintained, fulfilling its purpose as Hatteras intended.
The Hatteras 61 Cockpit Motor Yacht boasts one of the most desirable cruising layouts ever designed by Hatteras. Building on the legacy of the iconic Hatteras 56 Motor Yacht, this model features a five-foot cockpit that enhances its capability as an exceptional liveaboard and long-range cruising yacht, all while preserving the renowned ride quality, construction, and seaworthiness Hatteras is known for.
As one of the few models equipped with a full-height LRC-style raised cockpit, First Light offers a versatile layout ideal for entertaining, dockside relaxation, extended trips, or full-time living aboard. The wide walkaround side decks simplify line handling for two people, and multiple boarding options—including a swim platform, cockpit, side decks, and pilothouse doors with MarQuipt boarding steps—ensure easy access no matter the dock configuration or tide.
Step inside to discover a spacious salon that seamlessly connects to the pilothouse, creating an inviting area for entertaining with excellent visibility while underway. Below deck, the large galley provides ample countertop space, storage, and a cozy dinette.
Accommodations include:
- A full-beam owner’s suite with a private head featuring both a tub and shower
- A guest stateroom with twin berths
- A forward guest/crew cabin with over-under bunks
- Three heads
- A stacked washer and dryer
- Exceptional storage throughout for extended cruising.
Powered by twin 650 HP Detroit Diesel 12V71TI engines, First Light cruises comfortably at an economical 10-12 MPH at 1,100 RPM, with the option for faster speeds, making her perfect for long-distance voyages or leisurely coastal explorations.

- Hydraulic bow thruster
- Naiad stabilizers
