1978 Hatteras 58 Motor Yacht “Vita Nostra” Beautiful Restored 58 MotorYacht

When you think classic motor yacht, the unmistakeable lines of a Hatteras will certainly pop into your head. This 1978 Hatteras 58 Motoryacht embodies that thought. Classic lines from every angle, these boats have the long established reputation of being well built and laid out for either extensive cruising with family or friends, or spacious, functional, and comfortable liveaboards.

Your next motor yacht, Vita Nostra, benefits from extensive restoration over the last 5 years. No expense was spared on all of the projects completed on this boat to modernize her and make her a reliable cruiser. She was being refit for a family of 5 to take off on the adventure of a lifetime, however life changes have forced her sale.

Extremely low hours on the 8V92TA Detroits. They start with zero smoke and run strong. Vita Nostra is as happy at 8 knots as she is at her 16 knot fast cruise.. Around the docks, a Wesmar Electric Bow thruster will you out of any tight spots. She also benefits from new SIMRAD Electronics at the upper and lower stations, and hydraulic stabilizers.

At the upper and lower station you will find all new analog gauges, painstakingly rewired and installed. The lower helm station has been completely rebuilt yet still retains its period correct look.

At the upper station, 2 new STIDD helm seats let you and a co captain operate the boat in comfort behind an all new enclosure

Also on the flybridge, aft of the enclosure, several newly upholstered benches allow you and your guest to enjoy the sights in comfort. Further after, a hydraulic davit to allow easy launching and retrieval of your dinghy.

On the bow there is beautiful new Teak styled decking, all new cushions for a large sunpad and padded bow bench, beautiful teak railings and an electric windlass. Furthermore, there is all new black canvas covers for everything including the bow rails, pilothouse windshield, sundae, and bow bench

Moving inside, you will notice that the interior has been freshly restyled. The owner spared no expense bringing in Hatteras’ past interior designer, Dawn Moffit, to stylize all the new finishes and furniture. Furthermore all mattresses and bedding are NEW and UNUSED!

This model has the galley up version and is equipped with newer stainless appliances including a fridge/freezer, dishwasher, deep stainless steel single bay sink, stainless microwave, trash compactor, electric cooktop, and stainless wine/beverage fridge. On the backside there is a nice sized breakfast bar with seats.

In the salon, 2 new sofas face each other awaiting late nights of memories and conversations.

Moving aft to the aft enclosed deck, you will find new Teak style flooring, fresh paint, plush outdoor furniture, and all new enclosures to allow use of the area in all different kinds of weather.

Head downstairs from the pilot house you walk up to an L-Shaped bunk room port with en-suite head and shower, and forward, an optional captain and crew cabin with a desk, a ton of storage and good sized bunks with an additional ensuite head. Aft you walk down the stairs to find a hallway between the mechanical rooms port and starboard. There is a port cabin with twins with its own head and shower on the starboard side. Moving aft you walk into the primary stateroom. The primary stateroom on this Hatteras is huge. Lots of drawers and closet surround the room, a vanity with mirror is on the port side, a large ensuite head is on the starboard side, and a queen bed sits centered aft.
