Preliminary Listing:

Arguably the nicest 56 Hatteras Motor Yacht of this vintage in existence with upgrades and customization galore throughout!

Full complete listing coming soon, please contact us for more information in the meantime.

'Nightingale' is far and beyond the nicest 56 Hatteras Motor Yacht in the country and I would venture to say that she is the cleanest Hatteras of this vintage on the market anywhere. With 4 owners since new she has always lived in the FRESHWATER of the Great Lakes all but 5 months of her life and has been pampered with indoor heated storage each winter since new.  Her original paint shines, her brightwork is incredible and the interior finishes of Nightingale rival that of any new vessel. This is not your Grandfathers old Hatteras.
