Summertime II, a 1997 Hatteras 116′, is a tri-deck yacht powered by three Caterpillar diesel engines that has a 2,500-nautical-mile range. Previously used as a charter vessel, this Hatteras yacht has been significantly updated and upgraded, has four staterooms accommodating eight guests, plus an additional six crew members. This motoryacht is primed for its next blue-water adventure. The asking price is $3.198 million.
Summertime II is powered by triple, detuned 1,000hp Caterpillar 3412C diesels. Each engine is connected to a ZF transmission, 4-inch Aquamet 22 stainless-steel propeller shaft and six-blade bronze props with line cutters on all shafts. Summertime II can quickly spool up to 17 knots, but dial it back to an 11-knot cruise speed and a range of around 2,500 nautical miles. Oversized rudders increase this yacht’s performance and handling.
There are two helms: One is located forward in the skylounge and a second on the flybridge, giving the captain a 360-degree uninterrupte. Summertime II has the following electronics and nav systems.

Walk up to the foredeck and enjoy a little fun in the sun on a couple of sun pads, or break out a few water toys and have a little fun on the salt. Summertime II has two inflatable paddle boards, two inflatable kayaks, two rigid kayaks and a 2021 Walker Bay tender (not included in the sale, but can be acquired in a secondary purchase).
A spiral staircase leads to the bridge deck with a skylounge and a 490-square-foot aft deck. Enjoy an evening under the stars in a wicker-style patio set with two sofas and two chairs around a gas fire pit with a tempered-glass tabletop. Forward, and shaded by the flybridge, are two L-shaped settees with tables. Want to join the captain? Climb the ladder to the upper helm, which is 35 feet above the waterline, where you can catch some rays in one of three cushioned lounge chairs.

The woods are complemented by neutral fabrics, with granite and marble throughout. Relax on the portside sofa and chair or two matching chairs to starboard.

Previous owners added a Jura Premium Espresso machine with presets of various espresso drink types in 2022 along with a Jura milk chiller.
