History
The history of Hatteras Yachts began in 1959 when Willis Slane, a passionate fisherman and owner of a knitwear factory in North Carolina, founded the shipyard with the goal of building his ideal sportfishing boat.
The first model, the Hatteras 41 Fisherman (known as "Knit Wits"), was an immediate success among anglers and laid the foundation for a series of ocean "convertibles" that were perfect for both weekend leisure and competing in prestigious fishing tournaments. A standout feature of this boat was the use of fiberglass, a cutting-edge material at the time.
In 2013, the ownership of Hatteras Yachts' assets was transferred to Versal Capital Management, LLC.
Throughout its history, Hatteras has launched over 7,600 sportfishing boats of various sizes.
