Cruiser Yachts designed to make long voyages pleasant
A cruiser yacht suitable for long-range cruising brings a new dimension to yachting pleasure. Long-range cruising has not diminished even in the face of the economic downturn. The reason is probably because people have more time to enjoy the fun things in life while the dynamics of business have been so flat. Hargrave Custom Yachts has motoryachts very well suited to long-range cruising.
From special hulls to sophisticated electronics, the yacht makes the cruise
A cruiser yacht for long-range yachting is a great investment right now. With the economy in the state it is in, the value of a yacht has never been higher against the acquisition cost. Actually, there are just as many yacht enthusiasts doing long-range cruising now as ever – maybe even more. Hargrave Yacht Sales has several cruiser yachts in its line, ready to own, and they are in excellent, like-new condition – comfortable for living, and efficient for traveling at sea.
Indeed, Size Matters!
Sometimes the bigger the yacht, the more attractive it is. However, the size of the exterior is not as important as the size and allocation of the interior spaces. This is especially true of a cruiser yacht. Pushing a lot of bulk around on the sea is not only costly and slow; it leaves a needlessly large carbon footprint. A large hull is not the point behind taking extended cruises on your yacht. In fact, it can lead to hesitation about undertaking long cruises. Handling an unnecessarily oversized exterior can be just about as much fun as taking a large RV to the grocery store. It just doesn’t really fit into the lifestyle you choose.
Inside Is Where Size Really Counts
The interior spaces need to be open, airy, and user-friendly. Space doesn’t have to mean wasted space. Some yachts have such a good use of space it is difficult to decide what cabin, deck, or corner you next want go for a relaxing moment. With so many interesting spaces, there is no opportunity to get bored, even on the long cruise.
A High-Efficiency Hull Design
Additionally, the size of the hull isn’t as important as its efficient design. A well-designed hull such as the new high-efficiency 112’ – 120’ hull designed by the renowned naval architect, Jack Sarin, support several of the best cruise yachts Hargrave has to offer. Jack Sarin’s design steps up speed and fuel efficiency – both prime considerations on long-range cruises.
