Description
Layla Rose is a rare treasure in the world of classic American yachts. This stunning 1994 Hatteras, embodies all the qualities that have made the Hatteras name synonymous with durability, luxury, and timeless style—but what distinctly sets her apart is how lightly she has been used. With only 655 total engine hours on her powerful twin Detroit Diesel 8V92 750 hp engines, Layla Rose offers an extraordinary opportunity for anyone seeking a vessel that feels remarkably fresh and ready for adventure.
In a market where many yachts of this age have logged thousands of engine hours, Layla Rose’s incredibly low usage is a game-changer. These engines, known for their toughness and long service life, have barely been broken in. For potential owners, that means a marine powerhouse that can confidently deliver reliable performance and efficiency for many years to come, whether you’re planning coastal cruising, island hopping, or longer offshore journeys. The minimal hours also translate to lower maintenance costs, less wear on critical systems, and a higher overall resale value—making this yacht not only a smart choice but a sound investment.
Beyond the engines, the entire vessel reflects the same exceptional care and preservation. Her classic Hatteras fiberglass hull, known for strength and seaworthiness, remains in pristine condition, having been spared the heavy use and wear that often afflict boats of this vintage. The spacious tri-deck design offers generous living and entertaining spaces, perfectly maintained to reflect the luxury and comfort that the Hatteras 52 is famous for. From the rich wood paneling in the salon and staterooms to the expertly designed layout, every inch of Layla Rose exudes a sense of quality and craftsmanship that can only come from decades of thoughtful ownership.
The custom enclosed flybridge is a standout feature, offering a panoramic view and comfortable seating for guests to enjoy the cruising experience in style—whether underway or at anchor. This social hub makes entertaining effortless, enhancing the yacht’s versatility as both a family cruiser and a vessel for memorable gatherings.
Imagine slipping away on weekends or extended voyages with the confidence that your yacht has been barely touched, that its engines are still young and eager, and that every system has been maintained to the highest standards. The Hatteras 52’s reputation for seaworthiness means you can explore everything from the calm, turquoise waters of the British Virgin Islands to more challenging coastal passages with equal ease.
Layla Rose is more than just a boat; she’s a unique chance to own a legendary American yacht that combines classic style, rugged dependability, and an almost unheard-of level of care and usage for a vessel over 25 years old. For those who value tradition, quality construction, and the kind of boating experience that blends luxury with performance, this yacht stands out as a truly exceptional find.
In short, Layla Rose offers a compelling blend of heritage and readiness—a vessel that has stood the test of time yet remains remarkably fresh, powerful, and inviting. She’s a fine example of how classic yachting should be: elegant, dependable, and waiting for the next chapter of adventures on the open water.
