Walkthrough

Stepping aboard SAPPHIRE from a floating dock is effortless: you arrive on her integral swim platform, climb five non-skid steps to the beautiful teak aft deck, and find boarding steps neatly stowed in a side locker should they ever be needed. The aft deck blends built-in and loose seating around a varnished teak table, while slim, full walk‑around side decks invite you forward. Entry to the main salon is through a three‑panel, stainless‑trimmed glass door with a sliding center section; inside, six expansive side windows flood the generous salon with light, setting a bright, elegant tone. Immediately to starboard a built‑in end table and a custom four‑cushion sofa with voluminous storage beneath face a Zebra wood coffee table; to port, the salon’s TV and two swivel barrel chairs flank a side table with a lamp, and discreet indoor access to the crew and engine room sits just behind the AV center. Moving forward, a round teak dining table welcomes up to six guests, supported by ample glass and dining storage in forward cabinets and a Zebra wood hutch with enclosed storage and drawers to starboard. The yacht’s day head lies conveniently to starboard, and a step up beyond a pocket door reveals the galley—fully equipped with full‑size appliances, flanking foredeck access doors, a generous dinette, and stairs leading up to the flybridge and down to the guest accommodations. Below, nine teak steps to starboard descend to a centerline companionway with a hidden laundry center, a forward VIP, a midship queen VIP, a starboard upper/lower guest cabin, and, aft, a full‑beam king primary suite distinguished by dual ensuite heads sharing a central walk‑through shower. Nine steps up from the galley brings you to the flybridge, three‑quarter hard enclosed with a retractable sunroof, fully air conditioned, and appointed with a bar, generous seating, dining, and access to the lounge and boat deck. Aft, the crew area provides a double berth with a single upper berth, a second laundry center, a very large head, a full‑size chest freezer, forward access to the engine room, and a transom door leading directly to the swim platform.

Salon

Entered from a centerline sliding glass door aft or the centerline pocket door forward, the salon is both comfortable and inviting—equally at ease hosting a formal dinner or an unhurried day on the water—with high‑end finishes presented in Bristol condition. The yacht was recently fully carpeted and benefits from a tan Sunbrella runner when desired; most surfaces wear protective covers when the owner is away, keeping SAPPHIRE in impeccable form. High‑gloss African mahogany sets a rich tone, complemented by satin‑finished wooden blinds topped with a matching mock Roman shade, while cool air flows invisibly from a full‑length fluted ventilation valance above. To starboard on entry, a built‑in end table with a table lamp precedes a custom four‑cushion sofa with massive hidden storage below, faced by a Zebra wood and glass coffee table. To port, a 49" Sony Bravia is angled for perfect sightlines, backed by a full surround‑sound system with a hidden sub‑woofer; just forward, two upholstered swivel barrel chairs flank a table with a lamp, and, outboard beneath the side windows, six mahogany cabinets offer felt‑lined, fitted storage for a complete suite of stemware and barware. Aft of this area, internal stairs descend to the crew and engine room. Forward, a 60" round teak table on a moveable wooden base is encircled by four low‑back chairs, with two additional loose chairs in the saloon to make a full table for six at dinner. Ahead, twin glass‑door cabinets with clear shelves frame a lighted art niche, while four mahogany cabinets below add further storage; to starboard, a Zebra wood two‑door cabinet conceals five drawers and six shelves to hold everything required for formal dining. Overhead, Boston Acoustics speakers and more than forty LED ceiling lights are arranged in defined zones and orchestrated by a Lutron scene selector, while digital air‑conditioning controls and a CO detector complete the salon’s thoughtful amenities.

Entertainment electronics

Just off the salon, outboard in the crew stairs, an A/V closet houses a professional rack anchored by an Onkyo AV receiver TXSR373, a Denon multizone AV surround receiver AVR‑1908, and a Xantech eight‑zone/eight‑source audio/video controller amplifier paired with a Samson Power Servo 120a, while a Panasonic Blu‑ray player is neatly concealed behind the salon TV. The result is a robust, centralized system that delivers effortless control and cinema‑grade performance throughout the yacht.

Day head

Forward of the salon to starboard, just beyond the pocket door that can close off the lounge, the day head is smartly finished with a granite‑topped vanity offering two storage drawers, an undermount Kohler sink with a single‑lever chrome faucet, and a granite‑tile sole inlaid with contrasting light diamonds at the corners. A Headhunter push‑button toilet sits beneath an oval fixed port light shaded by Roman blinds, while the bulkheads wear an embossed neutral wall covering. The mirror above the sink integrates a compact medicine cabinet and an additional mirror panel overhead, completing a refined, practical space.

Galley

A single step up brings you into the forward galley, where an Amtico plank sole, ten large windows, and a center island with four drawers, a SubZero glass‑front wine cooler, and a light stone worktop expand both light and workspace. The specification is thoroughly residential: a Sharp Carousel stainless convection/microwave, a KitchenAid four‑burner glass cooktop, a Whirlpool stainless under‑counter oven, a Whirlpool wood‑front trash compactor, a Whirlpool stainless dishwasher, and a SubZero stainless two‑door fridge/freezer with through‑the‑door ice and water and a top‑mounted compressor. Practical touches abound with a central vacuum outlet, thirteen mahogany cabinets—including two fitted for glassware—a pull‑out spice rack and pantry, an additional pull‑out storage cabinet, eight dimmable LED lights overhead and four under‑counter lights, an under‑mount stainless sink with garbage disposal, a chrome pull‑out faucet with a separate drinking‑water tap, and a Raymarine CCTV camera for watchful convenience.

Dinette area

Forward and adjacent to the galley, the dinette welcomes four to five guests around a light stone table set on twin stainless pedestals. Storage is thoughtfully integrated with four drawers to starboard and additional space beneath the cushions. Port and starboard pantograph side‑deck doors open to the breeze, while stereo speakers, subtle under‑seat accent lighting, and six dimmable LED lights overhead shape the mood. Digital A/C controls, a CO detector, and a 19" LCD TV suspended from the overhead facing the dinette round out this bright, convivial nook.

Accommodation companionway

From the starboard side of the galley, nine varnished teak steps with accent lights sweep below toward a centerline passage. Along the way you’ll find the yacht’s main switch panel, three storage cabinets, the central vacuum system, and a locker housing AV and network equipment; the staircase curves gracefully to face inboard. Immediately aft, twin cherry doors conceal a separate front‑loading Whirlpool washer and a vented dryer, with two lockers above for laundry supplies. A few paces forward and two steps up is the forward VIP with its ensuite head; next aft, the guest head serves both the midship queen VIP and the starboard guest cabin. The midship queen VIP lies to port, opposite an over/under guest cabin, and all the way aft the full‑beam king primary suite features dual ensuite heads joined by a central shower. Beneath the forward companionway reside essential systems including a fresh‑water accumulator tank for the toilets, a water heater, a toilet freshwater distribution manifold, a high‑water alarm, and two shore‑power transformers.

Forward VIP stateroom

Two steps up from the main companionway, all the way forward, the VIP cabin offers privacy and presence with an island double berth and generous storage beneath. Port and starboard carpeted steps ease access to the raised berth, two high‑gloss drawers grace its foot, and an LED strip light traces the upper base. Overhead, a large opening deck hatch carries an Ocean Air sliding shade and screen, while individual reading lights serve each side. To port and starboard, beneath the fluted A/C vents, six mahogany cabinets per side provide abundant stowage over a padded hull liner and a mahogany shelf that doubles as a nightstand. To starboard, the run ends in a drawer and a hamper‑style locker, then the private entry to the ensuite head; to port, it concludes at a full‑size cedar‑lined, auto‑lit hanging locker that also houses the digital A/C control. On the aft bulkhead, a Samsung 28" LED TV stands ready; a hatch in the sole opens for bow thruster access along with a 110V outlet and a hold light. A full‑length dressing mirror backs the door, while above, two Boston Acoustic speakers, seven mini spots, and a smoke/fire detector complement this cabin’s own 8,000 BTU self‑contained A/C unit.

Forward VIP head

The private head features a two‑door vanity crowned by a marble countertop with a Kohler sink and widespread faucet, twin mirrored medicine cabinets above, and an A/C vent for comfort. Subtle accent lights beneath the vanity act as night lights. A Headhunter toilet rests on an Emperador marble sole with contrasting Emperador Light diamond inlays, while the curved‑door stall shower offers a clear Lexan enclosure, a marble seat, a handheld or wall‑mountable fixture, dedicated lighting, and an exhaust fan. Four dimmable mini spots set into the mirrored overhead provide tailored illumination, and a warning light advises when the holding tank approaches capacity.

Forward guest head

Entered from the centerline companionway, this guest head serves both the midship queen VIP—via a private door—and the starboard guest cabin. The two‑door vanity carries an Emperador marble countertop with a Kohler sink and widespread faucet, mirrored twin medicine cabinets, and an A/C vent overhead. Accent lights beneath the vanity function as night lights. The Headhunter toilet sits on an Emperador Light floor with Emperador diamond inlays, and the curved clear Lexan‑door stall shower includes a marble seat, handheld or wall‑mountable fixture, dedicated lighting, and an exhaust fan. Four dimmable mini spots illuminate the mirrored overhead, and a warning light signals when the holding tank nears full.

Midship VIP stateroom

Entered from the forward centerline, the midship VIP centers on a queen berth arranged athwartship off the outboard bulkhead. The mattress lifts to reveal storage below, accent lights encircle the toe‑kick, and the headboard combines an upholstered panel with a mirrored inset. Overhead and directional reading lights ensure excellent illumination. To port and starboard, four‑drawer nightstands with high‑gloss mahogany tops stand ready, while above, compact three‑shelf cedar lockers sit between a soffit‑style A/C delivery that bathes the berth in cool air without drafts. The forward bulkhead holds a secondary door into the forward guest head, an inboard bulkhead carries a 32" Samsung LED TV, and on the aft bulkhead a two‑door cedar‑lined, auto‑lit hanging locker houses the cabin’s digital A/C controls. The space is rounded out by two Boston Acoustic speakers, five mini spots, a CO alarm, a smoke alarm, and a 16,000 BTU self‑contained A/C unit.

Starboard guest stateroom

Just outside the primary suite, the starboard guest cabin offers over/under twin full‑size bunks set outboard, with rope‑style accent lights beneath the lower berth serving as night lighting. Each berth has its own reading light, a 20" Sharp Aquos TV faces aft, and the cabin includes digital A/C controls, two stereo speakers, a CO detector, a smoke detector, and four halogen mini spots overhead.

Primary stateroom

One step down, the full‑beam primary suite centers on a king berth with generous storage beneath and discreet toe‑kick accent lighting. The headboard is dressed in white ostrich‑embossed leather framed by alternating squares of high‑gloss walnut and stainless steel, a sculptural statement that needs no artwork. Above, a two‑level mahogany soffit delivers an even fall of cool air over the berth, complemented by two additional LED ceiling lights for focused reading. Each side of the bed enjoys a four‑drawer mahogany nightstand. On the forward bulkhead, a smaller cedar‑lined, auto‑lit closet sits to starboard, while a built‑in 32" LED TV and a considerably larger cedar‑lined, auto‑lit hanging locker occupy the port side; within the large locker are the digital A/C control, a digital safe, and a dressing mirror on the inside of the outboard door. To port and starboard, banks of twelve mahogany drawers topped in varnished mahogany run beneath three large oval portlights, the center of which opens for fresh air and emergency egress; Hunter Douglas blackout shades ensure privacy and vanish behind Roman shades when retracted, with accent lighting set into the two‑level soffits above. The aft bulkhead presents entrances to both ensuite heads flanking the king berth. The suite further boasts eighteen dimmable LED overhead spots, a five‑channel Boston Acoustic speaker system, a CO2 detector and a smoke detector, and a large 16,000 BTU self‑contained A/C unit.

Primary ensuite heads

Spanning the yacht’s beam and connected by a large walk‑through shower, the two ensuite heads combine space, storage, and sparkle. To starboard, a mahogany vanity with accent lighting offers three cabinet doors and one drawer beneath a Blue Pearl granite countertop with a Kohler undermount sink and widespread faucet; three mirrored medicine cabinets above add capacious stowage. The vanity returns along the aft bulkhead with two more cabinet doors, two drawers, and a continuation of the Blue Pearl surface. A Headhunter toilet rests on white marble tiles with Blue Pearl diamond insets, while a mirrored overhead carries eight LED lights, an exhaust fan, and an A/C vent. Centerline, the shower presents clear doors port and starboard with half‑height sidelights, white marble tiles, a Blue Pearl bench, and a Blue Pearl motif on the aft bulkhead; separate wall‑mounted and handheld fixtures gleam in chrome, illuminated by two dedicated lights. To port, a matching vanity with accent lighting supplies three cabinet doors and a drawer beneath a Blue Pearl countertop with a Kohler sink and widespread chrome fixture; continuing inboard, a slightly lower Blue Pearl makeup vanity with a drawer and an upholstered stool sits before a fully mirrored aft bulkhead. The Headhunter toilet stands on a white marble sole with Blue Pearl diamond inserts, seven dimmable LED lights brighten the mirrored ceiling, and an exhaust fan, A/C vent, and a clear glass door open to the centerline shower. Both heads include “do not flush” indicators for easy system management.

Foredeck

The foredeck is purpose‑built for action and repose with fiberglass non‑skid decks, stainless‑steel hoop handrails, and a removable stainless burgee pole with socket. Ground tackle is robust with a stainless anchor chute and a stainless plow‑style anchor riding approximately 200' of chain, accessed via port and starboard hatches into the anchor locker. A Maxwell 4000 hydraulic windlass with chain stopper, up‑and‑down foot switches, and a quick‑disconnect freshwater hose make operation effortless. Shore support arrives via two 240‑volt A/C 100‑amp shore‑cord inlets on Glendinning Cablemaster reels with actuator buttons. Sun‑lounger cushions with cover are raised slightly off the deck within stainless safety rails, with adjustable backrests and four drink holders to hand, while a deck hatch opens into the forward VIP. A quick‑disconnect shore‑water inlet, a Textulene windshield cover, and two stereo speakers complete this refined working foredeck.

Side decks

Designed to maximize interior volume, the walk‑around side decks are slim yet secure, with non‑skid fiberglass underfoot and hinged fiberglass‑reinforced plastic boarding gates—two to port and two to starboard—each fitted with Marquipt ladder brackets. Overhead, three port and three starboard house‑side lockers stow fenders, while ten overhead lights—five per side—and ten low‑level courtesy lights—again five per side—ensure excellent visibility after dusk. Practical service points include freshwater tank fills port and starboard, grey‑ and black‑water discharge deck plates, and inboard engine‑room ventilation grilles. Frameless house‑side windows, pantograph main‑deck entry doors port and starboard, international navigation lights, a port‑side locker for dock lines, stainless hoop rails above raised bulwarks, dual spring‑line cleats, a starboard locker for an eight‑step Marquipt Tide Ride Ladder, and hull‑side fender tracks below the rub rail to port and starboard complete these capable side decks.

Aft deck

Aft, teak overlays fiberglass decking for a warm, yachting finish, framed by stainless handrails port and starboard and served by stern cleats with hull‑side hawse holes. Hinged stainless transom gates port and starboard open to the swim platform, while aft bench seating with removable cushions and cover faces a varnished teak table on twin stainless pedestals. Six overhead lights with stainless trim, two Raymarine CCTV cameras, and a Newmar hailer speaker keep things bright and secure. Nine teak‑tread steps ascend to the boat deck with a stainless handrail inboard and three courtesy step lights on the flybridge stair. Entertainment comes via two stereo speakers and a sub‑woofer, service via a quick‑disconnect freshwater outlet and a GFCI outlet, and the salon entry gleams through a Trend three‑panel stainless door. A concealed track behind the bench takes an off‑white Textulene aft sunshade for effortless shelter.

Swim platform

The painted non‑skid fiberglass swim platform is the ideal waterside foyer, linked to the aft deck by five non‑skid steps per side with stainless handrails. Eight removable stainless hoop rails define the perimeter when desired, a stern flagstaff holder adds flourish, and hot‑and‑cold shower plumbing awaits at the starboard steps. Spare sockets for stowing the corner hoop rails, stern cleats, and a stainless swim ladder that deploys from the water underscore practicality, while the lazarette affords access to rudders and hydraulic steering rams, underwater light service, and the trim‑tab system.

Enclosed bridge

Command and comfort converge in a 174‑square‑foot enclosed bridge with a non‑skid fiberglass sole under removable carpet, and a painted FRP overhead studded with nine multicolor lights. Three Pompanette Platinum Series helm chairs with footrests and covers face a centerline helm beneath an electric sliding sunroof treated with V‑Kool‑70 sun/heat reflection film. Built‑in cabinets line port and starboard, and rare three‑panel hard‑glass side windows to both sides (a distinction among 72 Hatteras builds) keep visibility panoramic. Curved seating aft of the port bar includes removable cushions, covers, and stowage beneath; to starboard, a matching curved settee faces an adjustable light‑stone dining table with the same removable cushions, covers, and storage. Five low‑level courtesy lights, teak dining chairs with removable cushions and covers, and a clear vinyl aft enclosure refine the ambiance. Air conditioning has been significantly upgraded: 16,000 BTU to port, 16,000 BTU to starboard, with two additional 10,000 BTU units added at the original build. Stereo speakers and two subwoofers deliver rich sound, a lockable hinged door links directly to the galley below, and three Poseidon honeycomb light‑filtering shades temper the forward windscreen. At the portside bar, a white stone top and undermount stainless sink join a Whirlpool “clear ice” icemaker, a glass‑front refrigerator behind an FRP door, three stainless bar stools with upholstered seats and covers, a stainless foot rail, a storage cabinet, and a fitted bar cover—everything at hand for effortless entertaining.

Flybridge helm

The centerline helm is comprehensively equipped for confident passagemaking and precise close‑quarters control, including a remote “Docking Master” with integrated bow and stern thrusters, a stainless helm wheel, and a 6" Ritchie PowerDamp compass. Communications arrive via two ICOM M‑604 VHFs with remote mics. Stabilization and situational awareness are handled by an ABT Trac LCD stabilizer control, two ACR URP‑100 searchlight control pads, and two 19" GS195 Raymarine G‑Series MFDs with twin Raymarine card readers and twin Raymarine G‑Series multi‑function keyboards. A Raymarine AIS 650 Class 13 transceiver, two Raymarine 4" LCD multi‑gauges for depth, speed, and time, a Concord 24V‑to‑12V DC converter, a Simrad AP28 autopilot, and a FLIR night‑vision camera enhance command. Propulsion and ship systems include CAT back‑up engine controls, an ABT hydraulic bow‑and‑stern thruster integrated control, three windshield wipers/washers, a Sea Fire manual fire‑system release, engine start/stop controls, three KEP 15" MFD screens for the Hatteras systems monitor and up to eight cameras, a battery parallel switch, windlass and trim‑tab controls, engine‑room blower control, and single‑lever CAT electronic engine controls. A chart flat to port of the helm panel, WXWAX weather info, a Fusion MS‑UD750 AM/FM/SAT radio with Bluetooth and a Fusion MS‑NRX200i stereo remote, a fitted helm cover, a Rigid Industries LED lighting control pad for boat‑name, mast, and underwater lights, and a USB charge port complete this professional bridge.

Hard top equipment

Above, the hard top carries white powder‑coated dual trumpet horns, a hailer horn, a steaming light, and an Airmar weather sensor, flanked by two 16' VHF antennas and two ACR searchlights. Navigation and comms are supported by four GPS sensors, multi‑color Ark lights facing the radar mast, a Raymarine 6' open 12 kW array radar scanner, a FLIR camera, twin KVH domes—TV M7 and TracPhone V‑7 Vsat—and Starlink for high‑bandwidth connectivity. On the FRP mast, you’ll find an anchor light, XM weather and XM SAT radio antennas, a Raymarine 4' 4 kW open‑array radar scanner, two GPS sensors, two 4' Digital cell antennas for the Cradlepoint system, and three signal‑flag halyards.

Boat deck

Expansive at 187 square feet, the boat deck features fiberglass non‑skid decking and stainless safety rails all around, with a full hinged hatch cover over the stairs capped by a stainless safety rail. Safety equipment includes a 20" life ring with throw line and an EPIRB, while entertaining and cooking are anchored by a starboard‑side custom FRP cabinet housing two Gaggenau two‑burner grills with storage below. To port, an FRP cabinet houses two A/C units. A Steelhead Marine telescoping SM1500/R 1,500‑lb davit stands ready for tender duty, alongside an eight‑man liferaft in a canister and a removable nine‑step ladder to the hard top. Stainless deck drains keep the deck dry and shipshape.

Crew quarters

Seven painted non‑skid steps descend from the door behind the salon bar to the crew area, finished throughout in Amtico flooring. At the stair base, a chest freezer joins two cabinet doors and two open shelves; aft, the crew head lies to starboard and the crew cabin to port. Further aft, a separate Bosch Axxis washer and vented dryer precede lift‑up stairs to the lazarette/rudder room and open‑style storage to starboard, and a watertight door opens directly to the swim platform. In the captain’s cabin, a full lower double berth runs fore‑and‑aft along the outboard bulkhead with LED strip lights in the toe‑kick and a 19" Sharp Aquos TV facing the berth. An inboard three‑door chest of drawers forward complements an auto‑lit cedar hanging locker aft, and above the main berth a single athwartship Pullman folds away when not in use. The space also includes a CO detector, a speaker volume control, two Boston Acoustics speakers, a smoke alarm, and four LED overhead lights. The crew head features a high‑gloss mahogany vanity with LED strip lighting and a drawer beneath a Corian countertop and sink, a three‑shelf linen locker and twin mirrored medicine‑cabinet doors above, a Headhunter toilet, and a stall shower with a clear glass door, handheld or wall‑mounted fixture, dedicated lighting, and an exhaust fan; the sole is Amtico, and an A/C vent ensures comfort.

Engine room and mechanical equipment

Immaculate and engineered for serviceability, the machinery space features fiberglass deck plates, five overhead fluorescent AC lights and five incandescent DC lights, and two Raymarine CCTV cameras. Tankage and treatment include a 185‑gallon grey‑water holding tank with pump and control panel, a Headhunter grey‑water tank, and a black‑water lift station, while discharge sea chests minimize above‑waterline thru‑hulls. Maneuvering and motion control arrive via ABT hydraulic bow and stern thrusters (Model 250, 38 HP each), an ABT thruster reservoir with heat exchanger, a Trac stabilizer control panel, an ABT Trac #250 stabilizer actuator, and oversized 7.5 sq. ft. ABT fins with winglets for enhanced stabilization. Fuel and lube systems comprise two fuel‑transfer manifolds with filters, dual Racor 1000s to each main engine, a Racor 500 to each generator, two fuel‑transfer pumps, and a vacuum gauge for the main‑engine Racors. Fresh‑water systems include a Seaward 28‑gallon water heater, a Clack water filter, two Headhunter Mach 5 pumps with valves and switches for instant switchover, whole‑boat taste‑and‑odor carbon filtration, and a fresh‑water fill hose for engines and generator. Air‑conditioning is supported by two raw‑water pumps plus two back‑ups, with a 36,000 BTU DX compressor for the salon and a 24,000 BTU DX compressor for the galley. Ventilation is optimized by two engine‑room blowers with thermostats and two Delta T ventilation fans (one rebuilt 7/20) driven by two frequency drives; a house air compressor with oil/water filters serves utility needs. Fire safety is anchored by a Sea Fire 48.8 kg FM200 system with manual release at the helm.
