A modern classic, the GT65 Carolina is reminiscent of the Jack Hargrave-designed 41-ft Hatteras “Knit Wit,” the first fiberglass sportfish boat over 30’ in the world! Launched by Hatteras founder Willis Slane in 1960, “Knit Wits” revolutionized the boat-building industry as it transitioned from wooden boats to fiberglass, setting the standard for all others. Iconic American naval architect, Jack Hargrave went on to design Hatteras yachts for over three decades, establishing the Hatteras trademark of aesthetically pleasing clean lines, excellent proportions, luxurious interiors combined with superior seaworthiness.

The GT65’s profile features the classic stepped-back bridge, a new teardrop-shaped window design and hull side vents. New variable-deadrise hull bottom with side step-outs and prop tunnels were designed using cutting edge computational fluid dynamics for greater performance and efficiency. New engine room layout allows space for Seakeeper 9 gyrostabilizers. The new GT65 Carolina replaced one of Hatteras’ most popular convertibles, the GT63. As with all Hatteras GT Series sportfish convertible construction, the hull and stringer system are infused in a single part for added strength, durability, and less weight. High freeboard and Carolina bow flare keep the ride dry.
Both the GT59 and GT65 feature salon and galley on the same level for an open, spacious area to relax or entertain. The aft port L-shaped sofa with storage beneath each section, wraps a coffee table; standard peninsula galley is opposite the raised dinette to port. Pop-up TV is in high-gloss teak cabinetry to starboard. Three bar stools on the galley peninsula counter provide another dining option.
The galley can also be configured with an island counter and two barstools. The center companionway leads to the yacht-quality four-stateroom, three-head accommodations for multi-day fishing excursions with a large crew or family cruises. Master with walk-around queen berth and ensuite head is largest in its class. The fourth stateroom can be converted into a Hatteras Integrated Tackle Storage room. Rod and reel stowage locker and a marine washer and dryer are located in companionway.
Generous 194 sq ft cockpit features a transom livewell that can be fitted with tuna tubes, bait freezer under the mezzanine seat and beverage chill box beneath the mezzanine footrests. Tackle storage cabinet is starboard forward beneath angled flybridge ladder (an optional electric grill can be added to tackle cabinet top). In-deck fish boxes with pump-outs and macerators are common to all the GT series convertibles, as are the multiple flush-mounted gunwale rod holders, hardtop, and pipework rocket launchers. Mezzanine seat back can be air-conditioned for a more comfortable experience for guests or line-watchers on hot days.
Typical of a convertible sportfish yacht this size, the air-conditioned center console helm has a raised panel for three navigation panels, lounges on both sides, and great visibility all around. Two helm chairs are standard; a third chair can be added—the backing plate is already built-in. A large lounge is forward of the console with space beneath for an optional seven cubic ft freezer or fridge. Towers with additional electronics and other fishing equipment, such as outriggers are owner options. In fact, the new GT Series of convertibles offered by Hatteras are all highly customizable by owners, especially the fishing features.
The Hatteras GT65 Carolina is 68’2” LOA with a wide 20’ beam. Deep prop pockets keep the draft to 5’. Displacement is 103,000 lbs. Standard fuel capacity is 1,900 gallons and water capacity is 270 gallons. Twin 1600HP C32A Caterpillar engines are standard but can be upgraded to twin 1800 or 1900 engines.
