Antonio Torreblanca

"My family lives in western Mexico and recently bought a Hatteras 68 GT through Andy. We looked for a long time and Andy was very diligent to find us the right boat even though it was not on the market. He helped us with all aspects to buy and get the boat ready for a 3,000 mile trip and continues to help us with all our needs. He is the most knowledgeable and honest person I have ever met and will become a lifetime friend which you can depend on."

"I just want to share my extreme satisfaction with both your services and your professionalism thoughout the entirety of our transaction. My experience with Andy started off well and ended off even better. Even though I used my personal broker in Seattle, I relied on Andy's guidance to recommend expert surveyors and to take care of all improvements - then deliver my new Symbol 58 to the transport ship. Andy navigated the conditions successfully as only a well-seasoned captain and broker could. I highly recommend Andy to anyone seeking top-quality service in South Florida."

Accommodations

The 161 square-foot cockpit offers everything the serious angler could ever dream of. Standard features include two front-loading refrigerator/freezer units, transom fish box, live baitwell circulating system with pump and a refrigerated 130" fish box with macerator pump. There's even more -saltwater and freshwater washdowns, sink with bait prep area and storage cabinets with tackle drawers.

The spacious aft deck - an excellent place to entertain guests - leads into the expansive salon. The salon features a custom built lounge, club chair, coffee table, end table and wet bar. Hand-crafted cabinetry, fluted wood cornices and 2 wood blinds complement the elegant look. Sink into the plush cushions and enjoy the built- in entertainment center that includes a 37 plasma TV, CD/DVD player, VCR and surround sound stereo receiver. Your comfort is assured with air conditioning disbursed through the fluted wood valances both port and starboard for uniform climate control.

The salon leads forward to the spacious galley that lends itself to serious culinary artistry or entertaining. This fully equipped galley includes a refrigerator/freezer with icemaker, four-burner range with thermal convection oven, microwave/convection oven, dishwasher, granite countertops and much more. Entertaining is easy with the large U-shaped dinette. Starboard is the optional day head.

The full beam master suite easily accommodates its king-size berth; two large walk-in cedar-lined closets and the built in 42" plasma TV. A built-in wood dresser and twin nightstands provide further storage. The master head features a combination whirlpool tub and shower, marble countertops, mirrored door storage, and marble and granite flooring.

Leading forward from the master stateroom are the three well-appointed staterooms. The port and starboard guests suites feature convertible "twin to queen" berths, cedar-lined hanging lockers and private ensuite heads each with large stall showers. The bow VIP guest suite features a walk-around queen berth, built-in entertainment center, cedar-lined hanging locker and a spacious private head with shower.

Up the winding staircase from the galley, access is gained to the enclosed bridge. Wrap-around seating and a built-in bar with access to the aft bridge deck make this yet another wonderful area to entertain guests or just relax away from the main area below. Forward in the bridge is a custom control station with comfortable helm and companion seats.

Access to the aft crews quarters and the engine room is via a watertight door and hatch from the cockpit. The crew stateroom features man-sized bunk beds, hanging lockers and a private head with a remote stall shower.

A refit in 2014 included a complete paint job by Lu Marine.
