Hatteras is not a company to chase trends, so when designing the interior of the GT54 it didn’t go ultra contemporary. Instead, the décor is best defined as traditional taken to the next level. The salon and galley are on one level for an open space where the traffic flow is excellent. Cabinetry is carefully placed to provide a panoramic 270-degree view out of the large windows. Custom furniture — including an L-shaped dinette and salon sofa — is finely crafted and offers ample storage for extended voyages.

On the accommodations level there’s a well-appointed VIP stateroom forward, a luxurious master suite amidships to port, and a third stateroom to starboard that has comfortable side-by-side berths rather than the more conventional over/under arrangement.

Other key features include the sturdy electrical and mechanical systems that are associated with the brand. The build quality of a Hatteras is second to none. Ride comfort and seakeeping in rough water are also a big part of our pedigree. The GT54 is a Hatteras in the purest sense.
