VIXEN is a 1991 Hatteras 70 Cockpit Motor Yacht, the hull that built Hatteras's reputation. Her current owner has spent years going through every system aboard, from engines, electrical and fuel to water and comfort.
The 1,800-gallon-per-day watermaker got new membranes and a new high-pressure pump in 2026. Both helms carry Garmin glass, Starlink keeps you connected underway, and the salon and flybridge are freshly done in Ultraleather. She has four staterooms, four heads and room for eight guests. The tender, its motor and the davit come with her. Vixen is ready to leave the dock today.
Twin Detroit Diesel 12V71TA engines (870 HP each), overhauled in 2013 and serviced on a strict schedule since. She has Naiad MultiSea 252 stabilizers, a new bow thruster motor and gear leg, and rudder bearings and packing replaced in November 2026.
Garmin GPSMAP displays at both helms, plus radar, autopilot and AIS 800. Maretron monitoring, Starlink Gen 3 and a six-camera Lorex system round out the electronics. The Spot Zero watermaker is rated at 1,800 GPD.
The flybridge seats 10 to 12 around granite tables and a wet bar, with JL Audio sound. Below, there's a full galley, three ice makers, reverse-cycle air throughout, and a Whirlpool stackable washer and dryer.
