Overview

A proven tournament winner, SONORA is designed for the yacht owner who demands luxury, the comforts of a magnificent cruising yacht, and the features of a serious sport fisher. The 159-square-foot cockpit is a sportfisherman's dream complete with molded-in transom fish box, refrigerator/freezer, salt water and freshwater washdowns, and rod holders.

 

Her well-equipped cockpit also boasts an 80-inch fish box with macerator and portside storage cabinets. View the fishing action from the lower aft deck with optional molded-in seating with cushions. The Hatteras modified-V hull delivers a sharp entry and a stable ride - no pounding here. The captain can maneuver with ease from the pod console with single-lever electronic controls while guests enjoy the action from the L-shaped lounges. An additional aft control station is also located on the bridge for convenient fishing and dock maneuverability.

The elegant full beam master stateroom offers a king-size berth, entertainment center with Smart TV, and fabulous private head with large tub. Storage is plentiful and includes port and starboard built-in dressers, twin nightstands with drawers and a walk-in cedar-lined hanging locker. Relax at the end of the day in the elegant salon with custom L-shaped sofa, full entertainment center with Smart TV and dry bar.
