Hatteras Yachts for Sale

Hatteras Shipyard Heritage

Hatteras Yachts was born in High Point, North Carolina in 1959 when founder and avid fisherman Willis Slane set out to build stronger, more seaworthy boat than the traditional wooden fishing vessels. He wanted a boat that could easily handle the treacherous waters off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. For his boat, Slane enlisted, young naval architect Jack Hargrave, who at the time was designing yachts for Rybovich and later went on to create his own brand of yachts, Hargrave Yachts. Breaking from tradition, Slane used fiberglass to build the 41-foot (12.49m) KNIT WITS, which was launched in 1960. KNIT WITS was the first fiberglass yacht of its size and the use of fiberglass forever changed the industry.

After impressive sea trials, the word of KNIT WITS capabilities spread and Hatteras Yachts soon became the largest shipbuilder of yachts over 40 feet (12.19m), building both sportfish and motor yachts.
