Description

Aqua Terra represents a rare opportunity to own a heavily upgraded, truly turnkey Hatteras 52 Motor Yacht that has been thoughtfully modernized for today’s cruising and liveaboard lifestyle.

With over $250,000 invested in a Refit—including fully rebuilt Detroit Diesel 8V92 engines with less than 150 hours since rebuild, updated Garmin electronics, Dockmate remote control system, and extensive mechanical and cosmetic improvements—this is not your typical 1993 Hatteras.

This is a boat where the current owner has already taken on the major projects, allowing the next owner to simply step aboard and enjoy.

What makes Aqua Terra especially compelling is the combination of:

Classic Hatteras build quality
Modern systems and technology
Ease of operation for a 52’ yacht
Exceptional liveaboard comfort

Whether you’re looking for a spacious waterfront condo, a coastal cruiser, or a boat capable of extended time aboard, Aqua Terra checks all the boxes.

Why Aqua Terra Stands Out

This is a boat designed for real living and real usability.

The Hatteras 52 platform is one of the most respected liveaboard layouts ever built, offering:

A full-beam master stateroom aft
3 private staterooms and 3 heads
Large salon and galley spaces
Expansive enclosed aft deck

But what truly sets Aqua Terra apart is how easy she is to operate.

With Dockmate remote control + bow thruster + electronic controls, this is a 52-footer that can be confidently handled short-handed—something very few boats in this class can offer.
