OVERVIEW & WALK THROUGH

SIR JON II is offered for sale for the first time after catching thousands of fish in the Caribbean and Bahamas. She is ready for her next owner’s fishing adventure. Being the last of the 82/86/90 series Hatteras Sportfisherman, she incorporates all that was learned on the prior builds, and the original captain is still aboard ready to transfer his knowledge.

The starting point for SIR JON II was the Hatteras 82/86 Convertible, until the late 90’s, the largest of the sportfishing Hatteras yachts, although the 40-year-old company was the world’s largest builder of megayachts 90 feet and larger. The accommodation layout is similar to the 82/86, but the extra space has been allocated throughout the yacht.

The heart of any sportfishing yacht, the cockpit, which is a little larger than the 82/86’s, has nearly 170 square feet of space for fighting fish. Surrounding the cockpit are an array of lockers, as well as a complete bait preparation area with a sink, cutting boards, and a live baitwell. SIR JON II has a swim platform as sometimes people like to cool off. This is the same height as the bottom of the transom door, so fish slide into the cockpit safely and easily.

Some of the added cockpit length has been used to create an upper cockpit level that serves as an observation deck where guests can watch the fishing action in the cockpit below or simply enjoy cruising while protected from the sun by the overhang of the upper deck and flybridge.

The salon also grew in length, making it truly immense by sportfisher standards and even when compared to motor yachts. The owner had specific requirements for interior designer Patrick Knowles when it came to the interior decor. A wet bar with a sink is aft, making it convenient for both the salon and the aft deck.

Separated from the salon but only steps away, the galley is enclosed on three sides and complete with every possible appliance, plus expansive counter areas to prepare meals for a crew of hungry fishermen. The dinette opposite is used for casual meals or as a lounge area. Aft of the Galley is the internal staircase to the Pilot House. Forward of the dinette is a day head.

The lower deck is dedicated to the guest cabins, with the master stateroom spanning the width of the yacht, featuring a king-sized berth, a pair of walk-in closets, and an en-suite bathroom with a large whirlpool bathtub. All the way forward at the end of the lower hallway is a VIP stateroom with a queen-sized berth and a private head compartment with a stall shower. Two additional staterooms, each with private heads and showers, are to port and starboard of the hallway, the Port stateroom has sliding twin berths that convert to a queen when needed. The starboard stateroom is a queen bed. Each stateroom has an ensuite head.

The crew hasn’t been neglected aboard SIR JON II, with separate quarters under the aft deck consisting of a captain’s cabin to port and two bunks to starboard with a shared head with shower.
