PILOT LOUNGE is a 2006 Hatteras 64 Motor Yacht built to a rare specification. 1,500 horsepower MTU 10V2000s were the more expensive option than the common Caterpillar offerings. These engines are noticeably quieter. ABT Trac Zero-Speed Stabilizers were installed in 2017 and navigation electronics were updated to Garmin units. This vessel is better equipped to tow a large tender than anything in her size range, thanks to solid build quality, 3.5:1 gears, and 8-blade propellers. The three-stateroom, three-head layout is perfect for family and friends, and the expansive living areas can accommodate many more. Add her draft of only 4’8” to the list, and you have a fantastic Bahamas boat. Run hull-down at 11 knots or get there quickly, cruising at 25 knots. Fuel capacity of over 1,500 gallons and a water maker enable long stays away from the dock.

In the center of the aft deck is a hatch leading to the lazarette, which is large enough to be used as optional crew quarters on some boats. This one has air conditioning and a fold-down berth, but it is mainly used for storage and equipment access. It is large enough to fit a top-load freezer and a ton of other gear. Currently, extra large fenders are stored in this compartment and there is still more than enough room for much more.
