The Hatteras 68 Convertible easily ranks among the industry’s most versatile, thanks to its superior fishing amenities, long-range capability and unmatched interior volume. The 68 features

a massive 21-foot, 6-inch beam, the widest among production competitors in its class. From the

salon to the galley to the full-beam master suite, this beam provides each living area with more

usable living space and storage than comparable brands. Built on a solid fiberglass, convex hull

with deep propeller tunnels, the 68 offers rugged offshore performance, access to shallow ports,

and the ability to navigate between the two in comfort and style. From any perspective, the 68

Convertible is a classic in the making.
