2007 HATTERAS 68 Convertible

The 2007 Hatteras 68 Convertible "Buzz" is a used yacht for sale in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. It pairs a true sportfishing cockpit with an enclosed bridge and a four-cabin layout, making it a serious luxury yacht for owners who want to fish hard and cruise in comfort. The Caterpillar C-32 diesels and 28-knot cruise speed put it in the right class for long-range tournament duty or family trips to the Bahamas.
 

This Hatteras 68 Convertible suits a buyer who wants one yacht for tournament fishing and comfortable cruising. It is a smart fit for a family that spends weekends in Florida and longer summers in the Bahamas, or for an owner who plans to live aboard part of the year.

Buyers comparing a used yacht in this size range will find the 68 Convertible easier to handle than a larger motoryacht while still offering big-boat systems and range.
 

Is the 2007 Hatteras 68 Convertible "Buzz" for Sale?

Yes, this 2007 Hatteras 68 Convertible "Buzz" is currently offered for sale through its listing broker. The yacht is located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and is being actively marketed to buyers who want to fish hard and cruise in comfort. Because Hatteras resale strength and the fact that a well-kept 68 Convertible remains desirable, availability of a comparable example in similar condition may be limited.
 

For buyers, availability is less important than the condition of the specific boat. Engine hours, Caterpillar C-32 service records, hull condition, generator hours, fuel tank condition, and the enclosed bridge should all be reviewed. A well-maintained example with documented service can have a very different ownership profile from another Hatteras 68 that has deferred maintenance.
 

2007 Hatteras 68 Convertible "Buzz" Price

The asking price for this 2007 Hatteras 68 Convertible "Buzz" is $1,399,000, which sits in a competitive part of the used sportfish market. Hatteras resale strength and the fact that a well-kept 68 Convertible remains desirable because the layout and hull design still work for today's fishing and cruising programs support the asking price. Asking prices are subject to change and should not be treated as confirmed transaction values.
 

The purchase price is only part of the budget for a 68-foot convertible. Fuel burn with twin C-32s is a real operating cost, especially at 28-knot cruise, so plan for either a slower 20-knot cruise or a healthy annual fuel budget. Maintenance on a 68-foot yacht is not casual: bottom paint, engine service, generator upkeep, and insurance typically run into six figures per year for many owners. Buyers should also account for a professional survey, haul-out, and general upkeep.
 

Performance and Propulsion

This Hatteras 68 Convertible is powered by twin Caterpillar C-32 1,550 HP engines giving a 30-knot top end and strong mid-range torque for trolling. The Caterpillar C-32 is a high-performance marine diesel known for strong power output and reliable operation, and the twin installation gives this 68-foot convertible the speed and torque needed for long-range tournament duty.
 

The 28-knot cruise speed puts it in the right class for family trips to the Bahamas, and the sportfish cockpit and mechanical layout are set up for serious trolling and easy service access. Actual speed and fuel consumption depend on load, sea conditions, propeller condition, and hull maintenance, so a sea trial should be used to verify the performance of the individual yacht. Fuel burn with twin C-32s is a real operating cost, especially at 28-knot cruise.
 

Exterior Design and Construction

This 2007 Hatteras 68 Convertible "Buzz" features an enclosed flybridge with climate control that extends the season and keeps the crew out of weather, along with a sportfish cockpit and mechanical layout set up for serious trolling and easy service access.

Buyers should inspect the hull and deck, stringers, bulkheads, running gear, shafts, propellers, rudders, through-hulls, fuel tanks, steering system, and any signs of water intrusion or previous structural repairs. The enclosed bridge, sportfish cockpit, deck hardware, and railings should also be tested.

Buyers should inspect the galley equipment, refrigeration, air-conditioning, plumbing, bilge systems, and all accommodation spaces for condition and evidence of regular maintenance. The full-beam master suite and three guest staterooms provide privacy and comfort for owners and guests on extended trips.
 

What to Check Before Buying a 2007 Hatteras 68 Convertible "Buzz"

Before you commit, get a full engine survey on the Caterpillar C-32s and a hull and systems inspection that includes the enclosed bridge, generators, and fuel tanks. The survey should cover the hull and deck, stringers, bulkheads, running gear, shafts, propellers, rudders, through-hulls, fuel tanks, steering system, electrical equipment, air-conditioning, plumbing, and bilge systems.
