Owner Experience Review

Owners who cruise the 680 LRCbyHAMPTON YACHTSemphasize its long-range, bluewater orientation. At displacement speeds around 8–10 knots it is economical, and professional tests cite meaningful range; earlier LRC listings show very large fuel capacity of about 2,000 gallons. The layout and systems allow an experienced couple to handle the boat on passages and Bahamas/Caribbean-style itineraries, with an enclosed bridge and a cockpit/salon plan that also work well for weekend entertaining.

Underway, reviews report a comfortable, solid ride in 3–4 ft seas with no pounding, and good behavior when beam-to-swells, particularly with stabilizers fitted. The heavy, robust construction gives the boat a steady feel, though most note it can feel sluggish when pushed toward higher cruise or top speeds, reflecting the inevitable fuel-versus-speed tradeoff.

Onboard, fit and finish earn praise, including high-gloss African makore cherry on test boats, multiple stateroom/head options with a full-beam master, a well-laid-out galley, and ample stowage that support extended live-aboard cruising or accommodating crew. From an ownership standpoint, the engine room is notably serviceable with thoughtful redundancies such as dual AC and freshwater pumps and oil-change provisions, but buyers should also heed forum and test notes: conduct a thorough survey for stainless and fuel-tank workmanship, verify Cat C18 service history and wiring-harness condition on 680s, and budget for professional maintenance commensurate with large twin diesels and complex systems.

Pros and Cons

• Long-range cruising economy at displacement speeds with very large fuel capacity (earlier LRC listings show ~2,000 gal) and quoted ranges in professional tests.
• Comfortable, steady ride in moderate 3–4 ft seas with stabilizers fitted and good behavior to beam swells per reviews.
• Liveaboard-friendly interior and enclosed bridge, quality joinery, multiple layout options, and ample stowage that suit couples/families and entertaining.
• Heavy, robust build can feel sluggish when pushed toward high cruise/top speeds, with an inherent fuel-versus-speed tradeoff.
• Forum and yard reports note quality nuances typical of Taiwanese builds, including inferior stainless and occasional fuel/tank workmanship, so a thorough survey of tank glassing and stainless is advised.
• Isolated reports of engine electrical/harness issues on 680 models; verify Cat C18 service history and wiring-harness condition during due diligence.
