Climb aboard Pilot Lounge, a 64’ Hatteras yacht, and the first thing you might notice is the quietude onboard with the engines running. Pilot Lounge was built with optional twin MTU engines that throttle up to 3,000 horsepower combined, which was an upgrade over the standard Caterpillar diesels. With its three-stateroom and three-head layout, Pilot Lounge is a solid option for family and friends that want to stay on board for extended cruises.
A large sliding glass door from the motoryacht’s aft deck provides access to the salon where you will find a custom sofa with stowage, two club chairs, a 42-inch flat screen TV, wine chiller and refrigerator. All of the comforts of home are brought together with first-rate high-gloss cherrywood and carpet. Large windows on both the starboard and port sides of the yacht, along with the large sliding glass doors, allow guests to feel as if they were sitting on deck, but within climate-controlled comfort. The windows and ambient light also enhance the sense of openness and volume. Other amenities in the salon include:
- Whisper Wall headliner
- Wine/beverage glass storage cabinet
- Fluted wood valances and Duette blinds
- Polished stainless-steel three-panel door to aft deck
- DC low-level lighting behind salon valances, port and starboard
- Finished high-gloss cherrywood bulkheads
- Entertainment center with a flat-screen TV, omnidirectional antenna, AM/FM surround-sound receiver, DVD/CD player and master distribution center
- Polk stereo speakers
- Custom teak-and-bird’s-eye maple cocktail table w/stowage
A few steps up from the salon are the pilothouse and the galley, which is conveniently located for entertaining friends in the salon or on the aft deck. Walking through the galley, which has a U-shaped design with high-gloss cherrywood cabinets, leads to the lower helm station. The helmsman has the comfort of a Pompanette captain’s chair, which can be rotated for additional seating at the portside dinette. The helm console is trimmed with high-gloss cherrywood. From the Garmin, Simrad and Furuno electronics to the hydraulic bow thruster, Yacht Controller and more (see below), the skipper has all the tools needed for safe and pleasurable navigation at his fingertips. Steps to port lead to the flybridge while a watertight pantograph door to starboard provides access to the side deck. Other lower helm features include:
- Hydraulic power-assisted steering
- 2/Garmin 7612 12-inch chart plotters
- Garmin HD open-array radar
- Icom VHF radio
- Furuno RD30 multifunction display
- Simrad AP25 autopilot

- Integrated controls with emergency back-up and engine synchronization

Pilot Lounge’s 282-square-foot flybridge is accessible from the stairs adjacent to the galley, or a set of stairs on the aft deck. The flybridge has a fiberglass hardtop, and is enclosed with Strataglass on four sides. The flybridge is air conditioned, contains a sink and two electric grills. Guests can enjoy a comfortable meal at the L-shaped settee with dining table, which is located to the port side just abaft the helm. The captain has a centerline helm with clean sightlines and arn’s-reach-access to the instrumentation and electronic navigation equipment. Other features on the flybride include:
- Stainless-steel grab rails

When the day’s cruise is over, retire to one of three staterooms belowdecks. The owners’ stateroom has a king-sized berth on centerline. The room also has two nightstands, two hanging lockers and multiple drawers for stowage. The VIP guest stateroom has a walkaround queen-sized berth and also has two hanging lockers, cabinets and drawers for stowage. A third stateroom with twin berths can be found on the port side of the vessel. Easy access from the companionway makes this stateroom a great day bed idea for guests looking for a short rest. All three staterooms have private heads.
Where is Pilot Lounge located? The yacht is currently lying in Jupiter, FL.
