Hatteras 61 Cockpit Motor Yacht 1981

Explore the stunning 1981 Hatteras 61 Cockpit Motor Yacht, affectionately named 'First Light.'

One of the few models featuring the coveted full-height LRC-style raised cockpit, First Light offers a versatile layout perfect for entertaining, dockside living, extended voyages, or full-time living aboard. Its wide walkaround side decks simplify line handling for two, while multiple boarding options—including a swim platform, cockpit access, side decks, and pilothouse doors with MarQuipt steps—ensure easy boarding in any dock situation.
