Double trouble: The Hatteras 63GT and 70GT sit side by side in the company’s booth at the 2016 Miami International Boat Show.Sam White
On display was the Hatteras demo boat Hatterascal, a 70GT. Even for a 70-footer, the helm area of Hatterascal is impressive, with four large multi-function display screens and plenty of guest seating. Additional controls for the electronics and VHF radios are protected beneath the covers on each side of the helm station.Sam White
The teak helm pod itself is functional and beautiful. A slightly raised deck yields good sight lines both fore and aft.Sam White
Down below, Hatterascal’s interior layout offers lounge seating to starboard with lots of storage beneath. The boat was made to travel long distances, doing so easily and comfortably for her owners and crew.Sam White
A dinette is also to starboard moving forward. Rich woods and luxurious fabrics abound throughout the boat’s interior.Sam White
The 70GT feels light and inviting.Sam White
The raised mezzanine is a perfect place to relax between bites, yet it’s just a few steps from the rods.Sam White
An unlimited-class teak fighting chair with offset pedestal resides in the cockpit. This boat was built to chase the world’s toughest game fish.Sam White
