Hampton 680 Endurance

Endurance 680 LRC - Semi enclosed Bridge

Endurance 680 - this LRC yacht is in-build and will be available for delivery Fall of 2025. The Endurance 680 Coastal cruising Portuguese bridge pilothouse offers a wide 19' 2", a Kevlar reinforced hull and a family heritage of building quality yachts since 1965!

The Endurance 680 model designed by Howard Apollonio and built by the Hampton Yacht's Shipyard was intended to produce a yacht which would cruise at displacement speed economically for long range and be able to accelerate up and onto-semi plane to enable making port before dark or to out-run an on-coming squall-line. Apollonio's "Hybrid Split chine hull" achieves this goal. Additionally, the hull design was tank tested and exceeds USCG and IMO standards for stability for offshore passenger carrying commercial vessels. So, a quality built yacht that is safe, economical and yet fast if you need to get somewhere, is what the Endurance Yachts by Hampton Shipyards delivers.

Decor and furnishings: The E680 features custom bestoke furnishings with cherry wood cabinetry and beautiful light toned soft-touch materials that combined create a warm, bright and inviting interior.

The salon is a bright open space, designed to create one large living area between the salon and pilothouse. This is achieved by the opening up the normally closed off bulkhead between salon/pilothouse which not only creates the open design, but more importantly gives the helmsperson a clear view from the pilothouse helm station to the aft deck.

The galley is located in the aft starboard side of the pilothouse. It's designed to allow two adults to be together in the space, offering heated stone flooring, abundant overhead and undercounter storage, stone countertops and quality GE cooking and food storage appliances.

Access to the foyer is via stairs in the forward starboard side of the pilothouse. The foyers design creates a light bright space, with a stone landing, custom recessed LED lighting ceiling feature, art nook and art wall, and has a utility closet that houses the separate GE washer and dryer.

Full beam midships owners suite featuring a king size island bed, 4X cedar lined hanging lockers, abundant drawer storage and a spa inspired head with dual sinks and a large stall shower.

The head runs basically full beam in the aft part of the owners suite. features include a large dual sink vanity with undercounter and vertical sink side storage, heated stone flooring, high intensity-dimmable LED lighting, Techma toilet, Grohe sink and shower fixtures and a spacious shower with a stainless steel & glass door and a opening stainless steel portlight for extra ventilation.

The spacious VIP suite features include a low pedestal designed island queen bed that makes getting in-and-out of the bed easy, there is good cabinet and drawer storage, TV/Stereo system and ensuite access to the guest head.

The head is located between the VIP suite and Guest stateroom. Features include a cherry wood vanity with undercounter sink and a Grohe faucet. There is storage cabinet built in above the sink behind the vanity mirror, Sun-Touch heated stone flooring, dimmable LED lighting, Techma toilet, stall shower with Grohe shower fixtures, stainless steel & glass door, ventilation fan and a opening stainless steel portlight for extra ventilation.

The guest stateroom features side-by-side twin beds that slide together to make a large double berth. The stateroom is appointed with satin finished cherry wood and soft touch light toned materials that create a bright open feel, there is good cabinet and drawer storage, a TV/Stereo system and access to the guest head is just outside the stateroom door.

The 4th stateroom/crew area is accessed either from the aft port side of the main salon or via the aircraft style watertight swim step transom door. The transom door access is great when you have a service tech coming aboard for annual machinery maintenance.

The crew area layout plan for the E680 was well conceived. Offering the crew stateroom, head and stall shower, a easily accessed utility compartment and a galley/work bench that houses a refrigerator/freezer, offers abundant storage, stone or stainless steel countertop with under counter mounted sink and an overhead cabinet with microwave oven. The flooring is a combination of cherry wood from the salon the base of the crew stairs landing and then a heavy duty rubber from the transom door to the engine room.

The pilothouse features a central helm console with Garmin navigational equipment, inverted windshield design providing exceptional visibility, dual Pompanette helm chairs, a cruising settee and port/starboard side deck access door. Other features include the yachts galley, cherry & holly flooring and a stairway leading to the flybridge.

The engine room offers headroom in excess of 6' and provides ease of access to all equipment housed in the space. The engine room offers excellent sound deadening and also a viewing port to allow viewing of the space without having to open the door.

The electrical system for the E680 as with all Endurance models is a combination of 240/120VAC shore power, 2X Northern Lights generators, Victron inverter/charger system and the yachts DC battery system. All power is managed through the power distribution panels. There are 2X transom accessed Glendinning Cablemaster shore power cord systems with 1X 240/50VAC & 1X 120VAC shore power inlets recessed mounted on the starboard side of the pilothouse.

The E680's flybridge is impressive, the design was well conceived and it probably offers one of the best if not the best deck space of any 65-75 yachts on the market. This is one of those "you have to get aboard the yacht to feel how incredible the space is kind of things".

All endurance models come standard with top quality Garmin navigational equipment.
