About this yacht
***MOTIVATED SELLER***
The 1972 Hatteras 42 Convertible is a classic American sportfishing yacht from Hatteras Yachts' production run of this model (1971–1978). It was designed as a substantial upgrade over the earlier Hatteras 41 Convertible, introducing a full width flybridge and a more aggressive, flared bow profile for better seakeeping.
Hatteras built these as heavy, robust fiberglass vessels known for durability, comfortable rides in offshore conditions. The large cockpit, flybridge, and interior space make it ideal as a convertible sportfisher or family cruiser. They remain popular on the used market among enthusiasts who appreciate their timeless styling, solid construction, and liveaboard capabilities.
