Willis Slane, a North Carolina knitwear manufacturer and fisherman, founded Hatteras in 1959 to build his ideal sportfishing boat. The first, the 41-foot Knit Wits, was among the first fiberglass boats over 40 feet. The yard began in High Point, added New Bern in 1967, and builds there today under White River Marine Group, owner since May 2021.
