Taking the place of the pilothouse area is a large country kitchen. The galley is equipped with granite countertops, dishwasher and trash compactor, as well as a microwave convection oven. A Sub-Zero side-by-side refrigerator/freezer and full-size oven with a ceramic four-burner cooktop are standard.

Forward of the galley is a dinette with granite table and wraparound seating. Access to the side decks is still in place with port and starboard pantograph doors, and to starboard you'll find easy access to the electrical panels and a pantry. A beautifully decorated day head lies aft. And for entertaining, an optional 20-inch LCD is available in the galley.

By relocating the galley forward, the salon now provides 377 square feet of space. Forward of the custom dining table is a hutch with wet bar, ice maker and glass storage. The 42-inch plasma TV is relocated to the forward bulkhead, and additional buffet and china storage expand the already spacious dining area.

A quick walk up the circular staircase leads to the Sky Lounge, where the captain will find excellent visibility through two large window panels with padded mullions. The helm features Hatteras' computer-based systems monitor, which uses touch-screen technology to monitor all ship's systems, including real-time performance data, tank levels, visual and audible alarms, and data logs that provide trending information for engine diagnostics. The 80 also includes a generous electronics allowance, single-lever electronic controls with emergency backups, and twin helm chairs.

Owner and guests will cruise in unmatched comfort in the twin elevated lounges. Portside of the helm station is a desk with drawers and large chart flat, along with a wet bar, icemaker, refrigerator, and 32-inch pop-up plasma TV. The port aft window is electrically actuated, providing fresh air and increased entertainment space.

Exit through the sliding door onto the bridge deck, where you'll find plenty of seating and storage, thanks to an aft-facing riding seat and U-shaped lounge. The starboard locker contains twin Gaggenau electric grills. And a 1500-pound hydraulic davit will easily handle your choice of tenders.
