Owner Experience Review

Owners gravitate to the Enclosed BridgefromHatterasfor its real-world versatility: family cruising with kids and grandkids, owner/captain sportfishing on 65–86ft convertibles, and weekend entertaining where the enclosed, air‑conditioned bridge doubles as a skylounge. The panoramic wraparound windshield helps the enclosed bridge feel open, while interior stairs and pilothouse‑style helm create all‑weather circulation between helm and salon. On larger convertible platforms, layouts commonly include multiple staterooms with crew/captain quarters, suiting longer coastal runs to places like the Bahamas and Keys, though owners note that drafts over six feet can limit shallow‑water exploration.

Underway, owners compare the handling to a large motor yacht with less roll, paired with a heavy, semi‑displacement character that tends to push water rather than “break free” on top. In a head sea, reports describe the boat as wet, with water tracking down the gunnels. Performance examples from the 70 Motor Yacht with optional 1,800 hp cite roughly 30‑knot top end and a comfortable 25–27‑knot cruise, giving a sense of what the enclosed‑bridge configuration can deliver on similar platforms.

Maintenance feedback centers on the trade‑offs of enclosing the bridge: added top‑weight from hard structures and air conditioning can influence roll behavior, and window/eisenglass care or eventual replacement (some opt for Strataglass/EZ2CY or hard glass with wipers) is a recurring task. Engine rooms on these big‑horsepower boats can retain heat for days after shutdown, and while engine brands vary by year and model (MTU, Detroit, Deutz, Cat), owners and brokers frequently highlight well‑kept examples with exceptionally clean machinery spaces—often the result of diligent, sometimes crewed, upkeep.

Pros and Cons

Enclosed, air‑conditioned bridge/skylounge with panoramic views supports comfortable, all‑weather operation and socializing.

Suits multiple missions, from family cruising to owner/captain sportfishing and weekend entertaining.

Handling is likened to a large motor yacht with less roll, providing a settled ride.

Can be wet in a head sea, with water reported running down the gunnels.

Heavy, semi‑displacement feel tends to push water rather than truly get on top.

Added top‑weight from hard enclosures and AC can increase rolliness and demands attention to setup.
