Another excellent choice comes from Hatteras Yachts. The 54GT Convertible Sportfishing Yacht is a sleek, powerful, and nimble luxury boat under 50′. While it’s a smidgen over 50′, coming in at 53″, this boat is still an excellent example of how bigger is not always better. Hatteras boasts that the 54GT is “capable of over 40 knots and a cruise in the mid-30 knot range, the GT54 balances an exceptionally nimble responsiveness with an extremely comfortable ride. Built as a tournament-ready fishing machine with all the requisite rigging, the GT54 is equally adept at entertaining with three staterooms, a large salon deck, spacious galley and generous seating inside and out.”
Targa50 Gran Turismo
Fairline prides itself on offering luxuriously designed boats that combine muscle with sleek, stylish design. The Targa50 Gran Turismo follows the principle of “no compromise”.

Their team certainly delivered, and the Targa50 GT offers panoramic views and ample headroom, making it an excellent choice for a luxury boat under 50′.
Riviera 50 Enclosed Flybridge
Australian boat maker, Riviera, used information from boat owners to design and develop the Riviera 50 Enclosed Flybridge.
