Description
"Assisted Living" – 1974 Hatteras 53 Motor Yacht
Well-maintained and ready for adventure, "Assisted Living" is a classic 1974 Hatteras 53 that stands out in both design and capability. Known for their exceptional liveaboard comfort and long-distance cruising ability, the Hatteras 53s are revered in the yachting community, and this particular vessel offers even more. With a reduced bridge clearance of 16 feet, she can easily navigate under fixed bridges that many other yachts of its size cannot, opening up cruising areas that would otherwise be inaccessible.
This is the perfect boat for a "Great Looper" or someone looking to spend extended time on the water without worrying about bridge openings or restricted access to certain anchorages. Plus, it makes a practical choice for those who want to enjoy the freedom of cruising without the extra overhead.
The spacious interior includes a tri-level, three-stateroom, three-head layout, offering the ideal setup for extended stays. The salon provides ample seating and natural light, while the galley and dining area cater to all your cooking and entertaining needs. The forward stateroom includes dual over-under bunks, a washer/dryer, and plenty of storage. The master stateroom features a centerline queen berth and abundant storage, with ensuite head for ultimate privacy.
Equipped with enduring electronics and mechanical systems, including Furuno radar, Hummingbird GPS, and a Northern Lights generator, and 8V71 Natural Detroit Diesels she is built for reliability and ease of use. Whether you are cruising the open waters or anchored in your favorite spot, this Hatteras 53 offers the best in comfort, capability, and versatility for liveaboards and long-distance cruisers alike.
