Our Thoughts

SAPPHIRE is a 2009 Hatteras 72 Enclosed Bridge motor yacht offering the rare combination of proven offshore capability, sophisticated interior accommodations, and comprehensive recent mechanical investment. Located in Key Largo, Florida, this 73-foot vessel (actual LOA) represents a well-maintained example of Hatteras's flagship enclosed-bridge platform, designed for serious cruising and extended-range passagemaking.

Vessel Profile and Propulsion

Built on Hatteras's resin-infused hull construction and painted with Alexseal Cloud White, SAPPHIRE displaces a beam of 20.17 feet with a draft of 5.42 feet, delivering the stability and seakeeping characteristics expected of the 72 Enclosed Bridge class. The yacht achieves a cruising speed of 17 knots and a maximum speed of 22 knots, supported by twin diesel engines paired with ZF 4-to-1 Model 2350 transmissions, 4-inch stainless steel propeller shafts, dripless shaft seals, and 48-inch by 62.25-inch main propellers. The 2,200-gallon fuel capacity and 300-gallon water capacity support extended cruising without frequent provisioning stops.

Recent mechanical service completed in November 2025 includes a complete engine aftercooler service, full servicing of the stabilizer and thruster systems, and a rebuilt Maxwell 4000 hydraulic windlass. The vessel also features upgraded stabilizer fins (7.5 square feet with winglets) and ABT Trac #250 stabilizer actuators paired with dual 38-horsepower ABT hydraulic bow and stern thrusters, providing exceptional station-keeping and maneuvering control in challenging conditions.

Navigation, Monitoring, and Electronics

SAPPHIRE carries a comprehensive suite of marine electronics and monitoring systems reflecting recent upgrades. The flybridge helm features dual 19-inch Raymarine G-Series multifunction displays, Raymarine AIS 650 Class 13 transceiver, Raymarine 4-inch LCD multi-gauges, and dual Raymarine card readers with G-Series multi-function keyboards. Navigation is supported by a Simrad AP 28 autopilot, 6-inch Ritchie PowerDamp compass, and dual ICOM M-604 VHFs with remote microphones.

The hardtop carries a Raymarine 6-foot open 12-kilowatt array radar scanner, a Raymarine 4-foot 4-kilowatt open array radar scanner, dual GPS sensors, and dual 4-foot digital cell antennas for the Cradlepoint system. Additional topside equipment includes dual ACR URP-100 searchlight controls, a FLIR night vision camera, and an Airmar weather sensor with XM weather and satellite radio antennas.

The vessel monitoring and ship's computer infrastructure has been updated with the HatCom ship's computer and screen, GOST vessel monitoring system, and KEP 15-inch multifunction display screens capable of monitoring Hatteras systems and displaying up to eight camera feeds. Starlink internet connectivity and a Fusion MS-UD750 AM/FM/SAT radio with Bluetooth complete the modern communication suite.

2009 Hatteras 72 Enclosed Bridge Yacht SAPPHIRE: Fully Customized Motor Yacht with Advanced Systems and Luxury Accommodations
Overview
SAPPHIRE represents a meticulously maintained 2009 Hatteras 72 Enclosed Bridge motor yacht positioned as a rare, fully customized example of this respected semi-displacement hull design. At 73 feet 4 inches overall length with a 20.17-foot beam and 5.42-foot draft, this vessel combines the classic Hatteras offshore cruising platform with substantial interior refinement and modern electronics integration. Located in Key Largo, Florida, SAPPHIRE demonstrates the characteristics of a serious cruising yacht engineered for extended offshore passages, entertaining, and comfortable multi-cabin accommodations. The vessel's comprehensive recent service history—including complete engine aftercooler service, stabilizer and thruster rebuilds, windlass overhaul, and significant air-conditioning upgrades—reflects an owner commitment to mechanical integrity and systems reliability. Recent interior enhancements including reconfigured salon layout, new Fabrica carpet with Soundown underlayment, quartz countertops, and the integration of Starlink internet connectivity position SAPPHIRE as a contemporary cruising platform despite her 2009 build year.
Layout and Deck Design
The 72 Enclosed Bridge layout prioritizes functional deck space and full walk-around access, a defining feature of this model class. Boarding occurs via an integral swim platform and five non-skid steps leading to an expansive teak aft deck equipped with both built-in and removable seating around a varnished teak table. The slim full walk-around side decks on both port and starboard sides feature non-skid fiberglass decking, hinged FRP boarding gates at each side, and overhead storage lockers for fenders and dock lines. This configuration allows crew or guests to move safely around the entire vessel while maintaining interior volume for accommodations and entertaining spaces. The main deck entry transitions through a three-panel stainless steel-trimmed glass door with sliding center section into the spacious salon, illuminated by six large side windows. The foredeck presents a raised sun lounge with adjustable backrests and drink holders, protected by stainless steel safety rails and anchored by a Maxwell 4000 hydraulic windlass with 200 feet of chain. The boat deck aft of the hardtop spans 187 square feet and includes a Steelhead Marine davit rated for 1,500 pounds, an eight-man liferaft in canister, and dual Gaggeneau two-burner grills mounted in a custom starboard-side FRP cabinet.
Salon and Entertainment
The salon serves as the primary entertaining and lounging space, entered from either the aft sliding glass door or forward from the galley via a pocket door. The space accommodates both formal dinner configurations and casual cruising comfort. To starboard sits a custom four-cushion sofa with substantial hidden storage beneath, paired with a Zebra wood and glass coffee table. To port, a 49-inch Sony Bravia TV is angled for optimal viewing, supported by a full surround sound system with hidden subwoofer. Two upholstered swivel barrel chairs with a table and lamp sit forward of the television. The centerline dining area features a 60-inch round teak table with moveable wooden base, surrounded by four low-back chairs with two additional loose chairs available to accommodate six diners. Display-style glass door cabinets frame an illuminated art niche, with four mahogany storage cabinets below. To starboard, a Zebra wood two-door cabinet with five drawers and six shelves organizes formal dining essentials. Six mahogany storage cabinets under the side house windows feature felt-lined fitted storage for stemware and bar service. The A/V system is housed in a professional rack configuration within the crew stairs closet, comprising an Onkyo AV receiver, Denon multizone AV surround receiver, Xantech eight-zone audio/video controller, Samson 120-amp power amplifier, and Panasonic Blu-ray player. Overhead ambient lighting includes 40+ LED ceiling lights managed through a Lutron scene-type selector, and Boston Acoustics speakers deliver audio throughout the salon. The interior woodwork is high-gloss African mahogany, with satin-finish wood window blinds complemented by matching mock Roman shades. Entire boat carpeting in Fabrica with Soundown underlayment was completed recently, and protective covers are in place for periods when the owner is not aboard.
Galley and Service Areas
The galley occupies a forward, raised position with ten large windows providing abundant natural light. A center island with four drawers, SubZero glass-front wine cooler, and light stone top creates substantial workspace. The appliance suite includes a Sharp carousel stainless convection microwave, KitchenAid four-burner glass cooktop, Whirlpool stainless under-counter oven, Whirlpool wood-front trash compactor, Whirlpool stainless dishwasher, and SubZero stainless two-door refrigerator/freezer with ice and water through the door. An under-mount stainless sink with garbage disposal and chrome pull-out faucet, plus a separate drinking water tap, complete the prep area. Thirteen mahogany cabinets (two fitted for glassware), pull-out spice and storage pantries, central vacuum outlet, eight LED overhead lights on a dimmer, and four under-counter accent lights support galley operations. A Raymarine CCTV camera monitors the galley area. The adjacent dinette seats four to five people at a light stone table mounted on stainless pedestals, with four starboard drawers and under-cushion storage. A 19-inch LCD TV faces the dinette, and pantograph side deck doors provide direct access to port and starboard exterior areas. The companionway descending from the galley features nine varnished teak steps with accent lighting, curving inboard to face the accommodations below. A separate front-loaded Whirlpool washer and vented dryer are concealed behind cherry doors, with storage above for laundry supplies.
Accommodations and Cabin Design
SAPPHIRE provides five guest berths plus a crew cabin, distributed across the lower deck in a thoughtfully organized layout. The forward VIP stateroom sits two steps up from the main companionway, featuring an island double berth with generous under-berth storage, accessible via port and starboard carpeted steps. Two high-gloss varnished drawers sit at the foot of the berth, with LED strip lighting surrounding the upper base. A large opening deck hatch with Ocean Air sliding shade and screen provides natural light and ventilation. Six mahogany cabinets line each side of the cabin below fluted A/C delivery vents, with padded hull liner and mahogany shelves serving as nightstands. The starboard side includes a drawer and hamper-style locker; the port side terminates in a full-size cedar-lined auto-lit hanging locker. A Samsung 28-inch LED TV is mounted on the aft bulkhead, and the cabin includes Boston Acoustic stereo speakers, seven mini spots, and a self-contained 8,000 BTU air-conditioning unit. The forward VIP head, accessed via the cabin, features a two-door vanity with marble countertop, Kohler sink with widespread faucet, dual mirrored medicine cabinets, Headhunter toilet on Emperador marble with contrasting diamond tiles, and a curved clear Lexan shower door with marble seat and handheld or wall-mounted fixture. Accent lights below the vanity serve as night lights, and four dimmable mini spots are recessed in the mirrored overhead. The midship VIP stateroom accommodates a queen-size berth athwartship off the outboard bulkhead, with storage accessed by lifting the mattress. Accent lights surround the toe kick, and the headboard features an inset mirrored panel above upholstered backing. Four-drawer mahogany nightstands flank the berth on both sides, with three-shelf cedar lockers between soffit-type A/C delivery vents. A 32-inch Samsung LED TV is mounted on the inboard bulkhead, and a two-door cedar-lined auto-lit hanging locker houses the cabin's digital A/C controls. The cabin features a 16,000 BTU self-contained air-conditioning unit, Boston Acoustic stereo speakers, five mini spots, and CO and smoke alarms. The starboard guest stateroom accommodates two guests with over/under twin full-size bunks arranged outboard. Rope lights below the lower bunk serve as night lights, and a 20-inch
