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.


Major Highlights & Upgrades

  • Twin Detroit Diesel 8V92 engines fully rebuilt (~2023) Port rebuild at 1,791 hours | Now ~1,896 hours
  • Starboard rebuild at 1,858 hours | Now ~1,962 hours
  • Over $87,000 invested in engine rebuilds alone
  • Additional $185,000+ in upgrades throughout the vessel
  • Dockmate wireless remote control system (2025)
  • Glendinning electronic engine controls
  • Bow Thruster
  • Garmin 8612XSV (2) installed at helm (2025)
  • Starlink satellite internet system
  • Camera system- Port and Stbd facing down and forward and an Aft camera that is for stern view
  • Bottom paint completed 4/2024 PetitGuardian applied to running gear (2024)
  • New A/C unit in owner’s stateroom (4/2024)
  • Ionizers installed on all A/C handlers
  • 4 new 8D batteries (5/2024)
  • Generator ~997 hours
  • SideBar drink dispenser on aft sundeck

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.
