Hatteras 72 Cockpit Motoryacht AIRWAVES

AIRWAVES Overview

AIRWAVES is one of seven 68 Hatteras cockpit motor yachts that have been meticulously maintained by their owners, featuring numerous upgrades over the years. The vessel has extensively cruised the East Coast and is currently located in Jacksonville, Florida. The hull is solid fiberglass, designed with a wide beam and deep keel. She boasts a four stateroom layout, each with its own head, a galley on the main deck, a spacious master stateroom, separate engine rooms, and a large salon and dining area. The flybridge offers generous cushioned seating, while the cockpit facilitates easy boarding, includes aft engine controls, and features a custom ladder to the flybridge boat deck. The vessel was reportedly painted in 2012 and was hauled in October 2024 for a complete bottom job and new cutlass bearings. The main engines have 3700 hours since the engine blocks were replaced.

Accommodations

The large salon features an L-shaped sofa aft to port, a built-in bar area forward to starboard with an icemaker and a VIZIO 40” flat screen TV above. The dining area is opposite to port. Forward is the galley area with Amtico flooring that extends to the wheelhouse, equipped with recent appliances and a dinette table to starboard. Further forward is the pilothouse with a bench helm seat, wing doors, and a ladder to the flybridge.

Descending from the pilothouse leads to the living quarters. Below the cabin sole, prior to entering the staterooms, is a unique double size hinged access to the genset room. The bow stateroom has upper and lower bunk berths to starboard with an ensuite head and stall shower opposite. Aft to port is the second stateroom with crossover berths and a head with a handheld shower. Further aft and down a few steps is the third stateroom to port with twin berths. Opposite to port is a head with a stall shower.

Moving aft between the twin engine rooms is the very spacious main stateroom, which offers a size not typically found on a 68-foot vessel. It features a large king-size berth centerline aft, a unique dressing area forward to port, and an ensuite head with a tub and shower to starboard.

Up from the pilothouse is the very spacious U-shaped seating area, a bar area to port, and the helm forward. On the aft end of the hardtop is a davit for lifting a dinghy.
