"Friendship" is a 2001 Hatteras 55' motor yacht offered for sale at $449,000, lying Destin, Florida. South Florida is the deepest brokerage market in the world for large motor yachts, and condition separates the good buys from the money pits - which is why independent buyer representation matters more here than anywhere.
Power is twin 3412E, 1,400 hp each, showing 3,646 hours.
Accommodations run to 3 staterooms.












Greg Gaus has closed superyacht sales up to 164 feet, including the Westport 164 "Boardwalk" and the Westport 125 "Lion's Den", after 20+ years as a professional captain running vessels of this class. That is the lens every Double G buyer gets on this listing: what the hull is really worth, what the survey should focus on, and how she compares with every sistership currently for sale.












How much does the 55' Hatteras "Friendship" cost?
The asking price is $449,000. Contact Greg Gaus at Double G Yacht Sales at (954) 881-5500 - as your buyer's broker he negotiates on your side.
Who is selling "Friendship"?
"Friendship" is offered by its listing brokerage through the YATCO MLS. Greg Gaus of Double G Yacht Sales represents you, the buyer: independent advice on price, survey attendance, and negotiation, paid from the existing listing commission - never by you.
What does it cost to run a 55-foot motor yacht?
Plan on roughly 8 to 12 percent of the purchase price per year for an owner-operated 55-footer - fuel, insurance, dockage, and routine maintenance. Greg can build a realistic operating budget for this boat before you offer.
Where can I see "Friendship"?
She is lying in Destin, Florida and shows by appointment through your broker. Contact Double G Yacht Sales to arrange a private showing.
How does the purchase process work?
Accepted offer, then a survey and sea trial contingency of typically 7 to 14 days. Greg - a licensed captain with 20+ years at sea - attends the survey and sea trial personally and manages everything through closing.
How much is Florida sales tax on a yacht?
Florida charges 6% sales tax on boats but caps the total at $18,000 per vessel regardless of price - one of the most favorable regimes in the US. Out-of-state buyers who remove the vessel within the statutory window may qualify for an exemption.
Greg checks the MLS every morning. Set a watch and you get an email the day another Hatteras between 44 and 66 feet comes on the market, plus the weekly round-up of confirmed price cuts. No charge, stop any time.
