Thirty knots at the top end, twenty four at cruise: numbers built for getting to the fish and back.
The standard twin Caterpillar C12.9 engines, each developing 1,000 horsepower, give the 48 Sportfish genuine pace without the fuel burn of a larger package. Owners who want more top end can specify twin MTU 10V 2000 units at 1,600 horsepower, or a twin MAN V8 package at 1,200 horsepower, both offered as factory alternatives to the standard fit. With 3,785 litres of fuel on board and a 500 nautical mile range, she is built for day trips and multi day runs rather than long ocean crossings, which suits her role as a dedicated fishing platform that gets offshore quickly and returns just as fast.
The cockpit is where this yacht is designed to work.
A spacious cockpit layout gives a crew of anglers the room to move, rig and fight fish without tripping over each other, backed by dedicated storage for tackle and gear. The flybridge sits above, offering an elevated command position with sweeping visibility over the water, useful for spotting bait and working a pattern. Up to eight guests can be carried for a day on the water, with six able to stay aboard overnight across two cabins. It is a deck plan built around function first, proof that a serious fishing boat and a comfortable one are not mutually exclusive.
Below deck, the 48 Sportfish trades fishing hardware for genuine comfort.
Two cabins sleep up to six guests, finished with the kind of premium materials and careful joinery that Hatteras has built its reputation on. Every inch of the accommodation is used deliberately: storage is built into the structure rather than added afterwards, and the layout favours comfort after a long day offshore over any sense of excess. It is a compact footprint by yacht standards, but one that never feels like a compromise, built for an owner who wants to come home from the cockpit to a proper cabin rather than a bunk.
Beneath the gelcoat, the 48 Sportfish is built the way a working sportfish boat should be.
A solid GRP hull in a planing configuration keeps her stable and predictable at speed, with construction built to handle the loads of offshore fishing rather than simply coastal cruising. A 1.2 metre draught keeps her agile close to shore and around inlets where deeper boats hesitate, while the running gear is sized for the demands of twin diesel power at sustained cruising speed. Nothing here is decorative. Every structural choice supports the same goal: a hull that can be pushed hard, repeatedly, without drama.
The 48 Sportfish is Hatteras’s own design, built and engineered end to end by its in house team.
At 14.6 metres with a 4.9 metre beam and a 1.2 metre draught, she carries a day capacity of eight guests and sleeps six, with berths for two crew. Naval architecture, exterior and interior design, and engineering are all credited to Hatteras’s own teams, a yard with a long history of building sportfish boats specifically for serious anglers rather than adapting a cruising hull for the role. For an owner who wants a genuine fishing boat that does not ask them to sacrifice comfort, the 48 Sportfish remains a straightforward, well judged choice.
