Yacht Walkthrough: 100′ Hatteras SUNDAY MONEY

I’m Mike Fine with Denison Yachting here in Montauk, New York, and today I’m going to take you aboard SUNDAY MONEY, a 2001 100′ Hatteras Motoryacht. She underwent an extensive refit in 2012, which included her exterior paint, upgraded stabilizer system and all-new soft goods.

Of all the things I love about the boat, there are three that stand out. First, the bridge, with a wide open aft deck, she’s built for lounging. The second thing that jumps out to me is her rich, warm interior. The African walnut and marble countertops set her apart. The third is the step-down bar in the salon. Through and through, she’s built for entertaining.

Today we’re starting up here on the sundeck; your primary access to the space is by ladder coming up from the main deck aft. Currently she’s set up with lounge seating that could easily be moved out of the way to make room for her Novurania tender. The tender is raised on the portside with the use of this davit. The MarQuipt davit has a lift capacity of 2200 pounds. To each side of that there are two large storage containers to keep this area tidy.

Just forward we have two rear facing sunpads. This sunny deck offers a rare amount of open-air space. Forward we come to two dining areas. First to port is a large high-low table surrounded by an L-shaped settee. Opposite to starboard is the second dining area, also with a high-low table. Pull this release and the table rises automatically. This leads us to the wet bar. Inside you have a refrigerator, wine cooler and plenty of countertop space. All the way forward on the flybridge is the upper helm station. Here’s where you’ll find a full complement of navigational electronics. To both port and starboard are these wing stations; laid out with engine controls as well as bow thruster. The pilot house can be accessed through this sliding door, but we’ll come back to this space shortly.

Heading all the way aft and taking a stainless ladder down, we step on to the main deck aft. In this spacious cockpit we first see the centerline dining table. Surrounding the table is seating for eight guests. Underfoot is diagonal teak decking that complements the spacious feel in this area. On either side of the table are two aft boarding gates. Forward is this top loading cold storage. To both port and starboard are doors, which provide access to the side decks that lead all the way up to the bow. Facing aft and stepping down the starboard stairs we find the swim platform. This platform has removable stainless tangents, which serve to both open the space up when at anchor and to provide an easy access point when moving to and from the tender. Back here is a fresh water wash down with shore power hookups on both port and starboard. The cables are all run on Glendinning cable masters. The centerline transom door gives us access to the crew quarters and engine room.

Stepping down we arrive at the first crew cabin which has a full berth with ensuite. The second cabin features the same layout with over-under berths. Moving further forward leads us to the engine room. SUNDAY MONEY is powered by two Detroit Diesel 16V 2000s, putting out 1850 horsepower each. She also has 250 KW Onan generators. It’s pretty clear why this boat comes at such a high demand. There are only 3, 100′ Hatteras Motoryachts currently on the market.

Back on the aft deck we pass through a centerline sliding door and step into the salon. A warm African walnut is found throughout the entire interior. Brand-new dimmable LED lighting is overhead with new carpet underfoot.

The cornerstone of the salon is the full service bar with cold storage and an ice-maker under the black marble countertop. The step-down bar is a really unique feature that makes the salon stand out as an entertainer’s dream. Forward to both port and starboard are two plush couches. Centerline is a coffee table that leads us to an entertainment center. Here we see a flat-screen TV with all the electronics below. I love how the entertainment center separates the salon from the formal dining area. Standing in the formal dining space, the most outstanding feature is this one-of-a-kind burl table. Around it is seating for eight. Behind the table is a huge display case with flatware, crystal and silver storage below. There are cabinets to both port and starboard as well as under the large mural.

Moving forward to port is the dayhead at the top of the staircase that leads us down to the staterooms. Forward in the foyer, at the foot of the stairs is the master stateroom. Centerline in her full beam master is a king-size berth. To port is a walk-in closet and vanity. Opposite that to starboard is a seating area and the entrance to the ensuite. On both the trim and gold hardware throughout the boat is this matching X pattern – so subtle but a great touch.

Heading back aft in the foyer is the guest cabin with an over-under berth. The two doors next to the guest cabin are narrow storage closets. Across from here to port is this colorful guest head with shower stall. All the way aft are two VIP cabins with ensuite. Taking the stairs back up and passing through the dining space, we pick up where we left off on the main deck.

On our way to the galley we pass the pantry on the left and just beyond that is the pilot house which we’ll come back to in just a minute. We pass through this pocket door and step into the galley. The crystal and china storage on the wall immediately makes this space feel unique and elegant. Five stools surround this oversized black marble countertop. This galley is equipped with two sub-zero refrigerator freezers and this oven with a microwave just above. She also has a dishwasher just beyond the sink. Below the main prep area is an icemaker as well as a trash compactor. Underfoot is this gorgeous cross-grained hardwood flooring. Forward of the galley and seven steps down, we step into the final stateroom – the third VIP. This VIP would be considered a master stateroom on other boats. The seven-plus-foot headroom and the step-down ensuite make this stateroom stand out from most others.

From here we jump up into the pilot house. Forward of the PYS helm seat we see her display and gauges. She is equipped with two touch screens, Furuno navigation equipment, TRAC At Rest stabilizers as well as hydraulic bow thruster. Aft is an L-shaped settee and the stairs that give us access to the flybridge. Facing forward in the pilothouse we move out onto the bow. Aft is this large forward-facing settee. Up here we find her ground tackle, Maxwell 6000 windlass as well as her anchor on 300 feet of chain.

On behalf of myself, Mike Fine, and Denison Yachting here in Montauk, I’d like to thank you for joining me here on SUNDAY MONEY. If you have any questions about her refit or to schedule a showing, please feel free to contact me.
