2008 Hampton 680 Pilothouse

Leigh-Smith Yachts, the exclusive Asia Pacific dealer for Hampton Yachts, proudly presents the 2008 Hampton 680 Pilothouse Hi Time. Recognised as one of Hampton's most successful models, the Hampton 680 combines proven offshore capability, exceptional engineering and luxurious liveability in a timeless semi-custom motor yacht. Built on Hampton's renowned hand-laid, solid fibreglass semi-displacement hull, Hi Time delivers the reassuring sea-keeping qualities, stability and long-range efficiency that have made Hampton one of the most respected names in luxury cruising. The quality of the Hampton 680 design was recognised when the model was awarded Boat of the Year by the BIA in 2009, further cementing its reputation as one of the benchmark long-range motor yachts of its era.

 

Powered by twin Caterpillar C18 diesel engines producing 1,015hp each, Hi Time offers effortless performance with cruising speeds suited to extended coastal passages while retaining the ability to exceed 22 knots when required. A substantial 5,670-litre fuel capacity, Wesmar RS600 stabiliser system, hydraulic Side-Power bow and stern thrusters, hydraulic swim platform, Stella watermaker and comprehensive Raymarine navigation package combine to create an exceptionally capable owner-operator or crew-supported yacht. Every element has been thoughtfully engineered to provide confidence underway, whether undertaking long-distance cruising or enjoying weekends exploring Australia's coastline.

 

The accommodation and entertaining spaces reflect Hampton's reputation for practical luxury. The expansive saloon flows seamlessly to the generous extended aft deck, creating a welcoming environment for family and guests, while the country-style galley and raised pilothouse deliver excellent visibility and functionality for extended time aboard. Above, the flybridge provides another outstanding entertaining space, complete with refrigeration, upgraded entertainment system, electric barbecue, generous seating and extended awnings, complemented by custom daybeds, resort umbrellas and a bow sun lounge that encourage relaxed days at anchor.

 

Accommodation for up to nine guests is arranged across four beautifully appointed cabins, centred around a full-beam master suite, complemented by a forward VIP stateroom and two additional guest cabins, each with its own ensuite. The yacht also benefits from numerous premium upgrades, including five televisions throughout, an upgraded entertainment system with Apple TV integration, iPad Mini vessel controls for multiple onboard functions, an ice maker and a range of comfort-focused enhancements that further elevate the onboard experience, making Hi Time equally suited to extended cruising or luxurious liveaboard enjoyment.

 

Meticulously maintained and exceptionally well specified, Hi Time presents a rare opportunity to acquire one of Hampton's most highly regarded long-range cruising platforms. Combining award-winning design, an impeccable maintenance schedule and renowned Hampton craftsmanship, inspections will undoubtedly impress and are available at Leigh-Smith Lane, D-Pier Sanctuary Cove.
