Experience the pinnacle of marine deck hardware with the VETUS Altus Hatchilation Hatch, a premium solution designed for boaters who demand superior functionality, robust construction, and refined aesthetics. This hatch masterfully combines secure access, brilliant light transmission, and controlled ventilation, making it an essential upgrade for any vessel. Engineered for durability and performance in the most demanding marine environments, the Altus series sets the standard for quality and reliability on deck.

The core of the VETUS Altus is its impressively sturdy aluminum profile, ensuring exceptional strength and longevity. The frame boasts a sophisticated satin sheen anodized finish, providing outstanding corrosion resistance while adding a touch of modern elegance to your deck´s appearance. Its low-profile design, with a height of just 21 mm, integrates seamlessly for a sleek, unobtrusive look that complements any boat´s lines.

Functionality is at the heart of the "Hatchilation" design. The stylish and easy-to-operate adjusters provide unparalleled control over your cabin´s airflow. The lid can be smoothly opened and securely held at any angle up to a full 90°, allowing you to precisely manage ventilation from a slight breeze to maximum air circulation. For continuous, secure airflow even when you are away or in light rain, the hatch features a dedicated ventilation position that allows air to pass through while remaining securely locked.

The Altus hatch features a substantial 10 mm thick acrylic lid in a “dark smoke” colour. This not only ensures exceptional durability but also provides privacy and significantly reduces solar glare and heat transfer, keeping your cabin cooler and more comfortable on bright days while still allowing pleasant, natural light to filter through. For ultimate peace of mind at sea, the hatch can be locked completely watertight, providing a formidable seal against water ingress during rough weather or when washing the deck. Versatility is key, as the hatch can be conveniently opened and operated from either the inside or the outside.

Engineered for serious mariners, this type is certified for design category A and appliance location area II, confirming its suitability for unrestricted offshore use and its ability to withstand extreme conditions.
