~The new Hatteras 64 Convertible not only advances the legend of Hatteras sportfishing convertibles, it is sure to create a legend in its own right! Like its predecessors, the 54 and 68 Convertibles, the 64 features an unprecedented array of sophisticated features, including Hatteras' advanced convex hull design for smooth ride and optimum performance, best-in-class specifications, high-tech solutions to propulsion and ship's systems challenges, and spacious accommodations ideal for self-sustaining fishing in distant waters.
The 64 Convertible benefits from advanced technology developed for the 68 Convertible, including a passive underwater exhaust system that reduces cockpit fumes, transom buildup and cockpit noise levels. The 64 features a forced air induction system that virtually eliminates saltwater intrusion into the engine compartment, and increases space outboard of the engines. Trim tabs are mounted inside the propeller tunnels to achieve the same trim adjustment with just 30 percent of the surface area of conventional trim tabs. And the advanced convex hull shape harnesses the energy of today's high horsepower engines to deliver a smooth ride, peak performance and improved stability, while several patent-pending propulsion developments like cylindrical shaft keys and crosscut bearings extend the life of the boat's running gear.
The new 64 offers accommodations unsurpassed for luxurious comfort. The 64's standard 3/3 arrangement consists of three staterooms and three heads, with the only full-beam master stateroom in its size range. Throughout, the emphasis is on spacious and luxurious accommodations ideal for relaxation or entertaining.
Thanks to its impressive design and innovative features, the new 64 Convertible raises the Hatteras Advantage to an entirely new level and redefines excellence in its class.

The 64 Convertible's Cockpit is a full 164 square feet, loaded with features and conveniences to enhance the fishing experience. Like its 68-foot sistership, the 64's cockpit features a mezzanine level to keep the crew comfortable and alert. Inside the mezzanine is expansive freezer and storage space; its modular design allows owners to choose their mix of freezers, livewells and insulated storage tubs.
Under the top step, an 82-quart, refrigerated step box keeps refreshments chilled. Immediately to starboard lies an additional mezzanine seat with two tackle drawers underneath. An optional full-height bait prep station (shown to left) is available. Two 18-gallon storage tubs are positioned on the bottom mezzanine level, while two bins in the lower steps provide wet storage for mop heads, brushes and chamois. To the left and right of the optional fighting chair, two in-deck 62-inch fish boxes are positioned longitudinally to prevent damage to fish that can occur in transverse boxes.
The cockpit also positions concealed shore power outlets inside the forward corners, along with corner hawsers and side scuppers hidden in the quarter fenders - all contributing to a smooth, seamless finish.
The huge, 186-square foot flybridge is laid out for optimum control and comfort. Two helm chairs front a pod-style helm with single-lever electronic controls. Flat-screen electronics displays and the computer-based systems monitor are housed in a pneumatically controlled console.
Wrap-around seating conceals rod storage, and to starboard, a rear-facing jump seat sits atop an insulated refreshment box. Forward of the seat lies optional freezer storage for extended voyages. An optional enclosed bridge arrangement is also available.
With more than 150 square feet of area, the salon exudes the warmth of genuine American black cherry paneling, pre-filled and finished in high gloss or satin. To port, a custom U-shaped sofa provides ample storage underneath. To starboard, a 42-inch plasma TV with surround sound can fill the salon with entertainment. Linear valences distribute cooled air evenly throughout salon and galley, without the hot and cold spots associated with overhead vents.
One step up from the salon, the 64's galley features solid-surface countertops, under-counter refrigeration, a four-burner ceramic cook top, garbage disposal and microwave convection oven. Opposite is a large dinette with solid-surface tabletop. Down below, the full-beam configuration of the master suite is more than just best-in-class. It offers an unparalleled 166 square feet of floor space - virtually identical to that of the 68 Convertible! Accessed through a private foyer flanked by a full 92-inch hanging locker, the master suite has more than enough room for a king-sized berth, twin nightstands, and dressers port and starboard - plus a 20-inch LCD TV. Two oversized port lights admit light and provide a water-level view to either side. And, if the owner wishes, the master can be fitted with an optional office, or a sofa substituted for one of the dressers.
At 74 square feet, the bow stateroom on the 64 Convertible is virtually identical to its counterpart on the 68. It can be fitted either with a standard queen-sized berth with storage underneath, or with an optional queen/twin upper/lower arrangement. Two cedar-lined hanging lockers are included along with ample drawer and cabinet space along the hullsides.
The port stateroom is fitted with twin berths, along with a hanging locker, hull-side storage and nightstand as standard. A queen size berth with storage beneath is optional.
Finally, by foregoing the foyer entrance to the master suite, an owner can specify an optional fourth stateroom, fitted with upper and lower berths and private access to the head.
