HATTERASS is a completely restored 1971, 36 ft Hatteras. The 36 is one of the most sought after boats Hatteras made, even today.

This 30' party boat boasts plenty of space to move around and dance. It has a big swim platform and boarding ladder for easy water access but a great feature often overlooked is the bathroom on board. This especially comes in handy on a party boat. No need to head to shore for a bathroom break or being uncomfortable on the boat. Fun, easy going, knowledgable captain included. Some great features of Ship of Fools are:
