Hatteras M90 Panacera:


Country Kitchen with a View


Hatteras M90 Panacera
Hatteras M90 Panacera

The Hatteras M90 Panacera has an eat-in galley -- or country kitchen. Unlike many Euro galleys that shut the chef away from the party in what amounts to a windowless garret, the M90 keeps the fun of cooking, eating, and drinking with friends front and center with windows on three sides, plus the remarkable skylight, which includes “Smart Glass” that can be adjusted for transparency, to keep things as bright or as shady as preferred. Top end appliances from Miele and Sub-Zero are standard.

Yamaha WakeBooster

So, now propless jetboats can have surfable wake.
