Luxury Yachts for Sale Are the Stuff of Dreams

With luxury yachts for sale everywhere, a yacht show is a great place to see them; however, they can be a little intimidating to tackle and no two yacht shows are ever exactly alike. How you make the most of seeing the most suitable luxury yachts for sale when there are what seem endless types and sizes to see? As with anything complex that a person tackles, preparation is the key. Know what you are looking for before you go.

How to Get the Most out of Attending a Yacht Show

Hargrave, and many other builders, are always present at the top yacht shows in America. The best way to see a Hargrave yacht – or any yacht – is in-person. To compare quality, features, materials, and designs, any of the upcoming yacht shows are excellent opportunities to make the comparison. Seeing the maximum when time is limited takes a little planning. Start by sorting your thoughts and desires.

Sort the builders: Production, Semi-Custom, and Full-Custom

Sort out the builders you wish to see. Builders of luxury yachts for sale are loosely grouped into three specialties:

• Production builders
• Semi-custom builders
• Custom yacht builders

Production builders create a blueprint for a model, targeted to the niche of customers they want to attract. There is little customization and the yacht is built with the assumption that the features will attract those in their target niche efficiently.

Semi-custom builders customize based on previous custom designs when features such as high-efficiency hulls or maximum-space deck plans have proven their advantages. Hargrave builds many semi-custom yachts based on custom designs.

True custom yacht builders like Hargrave are few.

Hargrave not only allows but encourages owners to participate in every step of the building process from the drawing board to the final touches. Contrary to popular belief, custom building can be a veryenjoyable experience. In fact, over half of those who have built custom yachts with Hargrave have returned to build another one – some as many as four in ten years.

Consider Your Choices

Look at your builders and determine how much of a standard production you can accept as opposed to how much customizing you would like so you can have the yacht of your dreams. The options are:

• Standard production models
• Used standard production models
• Newly built Semi-Custom yachts based on custom designs
• Previously-owned Custom and Semi-Custom yachts

Building custom yachts really can be a wonderful experience and Hargrave has fine-tuned that experience with a philosophy of providing the owner with exactly what he wants.

However, full-custom building is not for everyone, especially those who want a luxury yacht that is immediately ready for use.

Semi-custom and one-owner custom yachts, such as those in Hargrave’s lineup of luxury yachts for sale can provide you with the elegance and features you want that go beyond a standard production yacht.

Hargrave Yacht Sales specializes in the 70-foot to 135-foot range – and over 80% of the Hargrave yachts sold are in that size range. We do have some smaller and larger ones in the lineup. First and foremost, Hargrave luxury yachts will always feature the finest quality.

Quality is Priority #1

When sorting through what you want to buy, quality is absolutely the first consideration.

• An investment in quality is a high-return investment.
• Step down in size before ever considering stepping down in quality

The quality of the materials and equipment contributes to their resistance to weathering and aging. A luxury yacht should always look as new and freshly off the rails as it can. The quality in each component also means maintenance and repair expenses and lost time are kept to the absolute minimum. Hargrave bases its success in building beautiful yachts with high quality in every component used in the building process, every component in the design, and every part of the features and furnishings.

• The higher the quality the lower the depreciation, and the lower the maintenance and other costs of ownership that comprise the yacht’s true value.
• For this reason, Hargrave Yachts enjoy some of the highest resale values in the industry.
