SAPPHIRE was built near the end of the wildly successful 53/58 Hatteras Series.  Thought by many to embody all of the attributes for a successful yacht she has a perfectly balanced profile as well!

Boarding the yacht by either the spacious side decks or Cockpit one enters the Salon by the twin hinged aft doors to find a spacious bright and airy Salon with two identical sleeper sofas with a fully functional helm all the way forward.

Down and forward from the starboard side of the helm is a Galley and Dinette with full size updated appliances. 

Further forward is the forward Guest Cabin, en suite Head and Laundry facility.  Aft from the Galley between the twin Engine Rooms is a Guest Cabin with twin lower bunks to port and a full Guest Head with stall shower to starboard. 

Further aft is the Master Cabin with an athwartships queen berth, plenty of storage and a private Head with stall shower.

The wide side decks lead to a spacious bow with custom seating.  The Aft Deck has sheltered dining and access to the Flybridge.

The Boat Deck Area of the Flybridge has been converted to unique and highly useful open aft seating and dining area.  The new style Flybridge and Helm offers updated electronics and controls.

The Salon is entered via twin hinged doors from the Aft Deck or the port and starboard sliding Pilothouse doors.  From the Aft Deck immediately to starboard is the Entertainment Center with a 32” Insignia tabletop TV and a Samsung Sound bar.  Below in a two door smoked Plexi cabinet is a Samsung AM/FM/DVD/CD Blue Ray player and storage for CD’s/DVD’s.  There is also a Samsung iPod dock.

Either side of the door are aft facing windows each fitted with stained glass inserts eliminating the need for drapes.

To port is a two drawer end table.

Forward on both the port and starboard sides are twin three person couches that each turn into a two person bed futon style.  An Oriental runner lies over the carpeted Salon sole between the two sofas.

Forward to starboard is a matching end table with two drawers and to port is a Wine Enthusiast 12 bottle two temp wine cave.

Above each sofa are large opening side deck windows covered with sheer drapes.  A teak soffit above covers accent rope lighting.

Next forward is the Pilothouse Area with twin access doors and a centerline helm.  Also in the Salon are four Sony speakers with subwoofer, an RCA over air TV antenna and ten overhead halogen mini spots.

The Galley and Dinette have been extensively modernized since 1981.  The Galley and Dinette Area are down five curved steps from the starboard side of the Pilothouse.  Custom storage has been added to the area outboard of the stairs.

Next forward is a four person Dinette with a Corian tabletop.  There are two storage drawers with additional storage under the seating bases.

Outboard are two sliding door storage cabinets with an opening window above.  A halogen lamp fixture and a liquor cabinet are above.

To port is the Galley proper with a new Sub Zero standup refrigerator with two freezer drawers.  The sink is outboard and cooking facilities aft.
