Vessel Overview

In 1995, Hatteras unveiled the impressive Hatteras 39 Sport Express. This vessel undeniably emerges as a pinnacle of aesthetic design within its class. It shares its structural underpinning with the Hatteras 39 Convertible, utilizing the same Modified-V hull characterized by a moderate beam, a flared bow, and cored hullsides.

The Sport Express offers a generous exterior, featuring an expansive bridge deck ideal for hosting gatherings and a spacious cockpit capable of accommodating a full complement of anglers or guests. This model showcases the favored helm-deck layout featuring an L-shaped lounge seating arrangement. Standout features of the cockpit include an in-deck fish box, a molded tackle center, a conveniently located transom door, and direct access to the engine room.

Internally, the vessel boasts a single-stateroom layout forward with a sizable convertible dinette opposite the galley. This is a very comfortable express sportfisher that offers the owner a legit queen-sized walk-around berth.

A spacious head features a large stand-up stall shower, which provides added comfort for extended weekends onboard.
