NORTHERN LIGHT

NORTHERN LIGHT — 74' Hatteras Some yachts earn their reputation in a single season; NORTHERN LIGHT has built hers over years of chartering the San Juan Islands, and it shows in the way she runs. Hatteras built her for exactly this kind of work — a solid, sea-kindly motoryacht that handles the currents, the weather shifts and the long cruising days of the Pacific Northwest without drama. A refit completed in 2018 keeps her presentation and systems current. She accommodates six guests across three cabins, one of them fitted with twin beds. Detailed bed configuration is available on request. The layout is arranged for comfort over long itineraries rather than for show — the kind of setup that matters when you're a few hours from anywhere, tucked into an anchorage with the cedars coming down to the waterline. The crew is the other half of the equation. Experienced, discreet and genuinely familiar with these waters, they know which coves to time with the tide, where the orcas tend to run and how to get you there without you ever having to think about it. For time on the water, she carries a large tender, kayaks and paddleboards, with a two-person jacuzzi on deck for the end of the day — after a morning of paddling glassy inlets, it makes a persuasive argument for staying put.
