Stateroom

Engine Room

The main salon is spacious and warm with calming accent colors throughout, such as featured on the chocolate brown full grain Aniline dyed leather sofa to port, with accent pillows in chocolate and celadon blue.  The interior specifications of this vessel were very well though out and executed. The sense of refinement and sophistication aboard this vessel is unmatchable for any boat in this size range. Found throughout the main salon and the extended living areas is a high-gloss cherry wood with a contemporary cross graining and Camphor Burl wood accent panels.  Another foundation of the interior spaces includes a textured sisal carpeting in natural tones.  Seating is satisfied with the L-shaped leather sofa to port and a pair of armchairs to starboard.  Plenty of hidden storage, accent items, a coffee table, and the helm station forward and to starboard complete this space.

Galley

Gorgeous high gloss cherry wood continues into the forward galley, located just steps down from the main salon. Here “Indian Parana” granite counter tops extend into a backsplash, which sparkles against the warm wood cabinets and stunning satin finished cherry wood flooring.  Staineless steel appliances, Grohe fixtures and an improved open layout make this 2007 custom yacht highly desirable.

Master Stateroom

The master stateroom is located to starboard across from the galley. Here the color theme is that of driftwood and pale blues with rich chocolate accents.  The queen berth is fitted with luxurious fabrics in this eye-catching color scheme. High gloss cherry wood is found here dispersed among a textured cane wall upholstery in a simple sandy taupe color. All the comforts of home are found in this luxurious stateroom, including an en suite master head. The master head has a full shower, cherry wood storage cabinets, and a vanity featuring “Noisette Fleuryl” marble.  This yacht is designed for the cruising couple who enjoys long weekends and plenty of relaxation.

VIP Stateroom

The VIP Stateroom is forward and features a queen-sized v-berth fitted with elegant cream-colored bedding. Organic colors and textures make up this elegant stateroom.  The VIP also features an en suite head.  The same level of refinement found in the Master is recreated in the VIP – Such details as a marble vanity in the VIP head and gorgeous high-gloss cherry wood throughout help accomplish this.

Cockpit

The cockpit offers a space for outdoor enjoyment. Aft, a large seating bench is finished in a mushroom color and creates a perfect space for watching the sunset or enjoying an evening cocktail.  Durable and warm teak wood makes up the sole. A ladder up to the open flybridge is found to port.

Flybridge

The Flybridge has an open design, with twin Stidd Helm Chairs, rear bench seat, large chart table and refrigerator creating a space for you entertain in style while navigating in complete comfort. You will find the finest navigational equipment available in the market today aboard QUIET SUN.

Mike Joyce, CEO of Hargrave Custom Yachts, was invited to be one of the judges for the annual Metal Craft Marine employee boat race in Kingston, Ontario on September 24th. As part of the annual family picnic five teams of employees designed and fabricated an aluminum boat in two hours and competed in an obstacle course race with liberal use of fire boat hoses to add to the excitement.  It was great fun for all the team members and their families. Mike Joyce said when you saw the interaction among the staffers, their families, and invited guests, you really got a sense of just how much of a family business this unique organization is. Mike Joyce called them the premiere builder of mid-sized aluminum commercial craft and said the company was poised for dramatic growth in the next five years. Coincidentally, MetalCraft is now moving their US operation to the marina Mike owned in Cape Vincent, NY back in the 1960′s-1970′s.

“In this short 11 minute documentary narrated by Tom Hanks, director Eddie Rosenstein tells the story of the greatest sea evacuation of people in history after the attack on New York City on September 11, 2001. In less than 9 hours an impromptu armada of private boats, ferries, fishing boats, dinner cruise boats, and government boats came together with no plan or prior experience and evacuated 500,000 people from lower Manhattan to safety. As you listen to the stories, you realize as one captain said, “There’s a little bit of hero in all of us, you just have to look for it, it will come out.”

“A great reminder of what makes America such an incredible country. How lucky we are.”

Michael Joyce, CEO

MISSION IMPOSSIBLE?

Everybody wants their boat for summer, but when you see a builder actually deliver four supper yachts for summer it really makes you take your hat off and salute that accomplishment. When we read in Boat International that Heesen had delivered four superyachts this summer and seven in the last twelve months it really made us sit up and take notice. The yachts shown in the article are so big, so complicated, and yet so delicate on the inside that delivering even one yacht for summer is a feat and four is truly amazing.

Mike Joyce

Andre J. Bauwens former chief naval architect of J. B. Hargrave Naval Architects, Inc. in West Palm Beach died on June 29, 2011. In making the announcement Michael Joyce, CEO of the J.B. Hargrave Corporation called Bauwens one of the key people responsible for building the company’s outstanding reputation in yacht design and engineering.

Born in Brussels in 1929 Bauwens moved to the United States in 1956 where he graduated from the Westlawn Design Institute prior to starting his career working for the MacLear & Harris design firm in New York. He moved to Florida and joined Hall of Fame designer Jack Hargrave in West Palm Beach in 1966.

Bauwens served as chief naval architect of the Hargrave yacht design section and also wrote the specifications for all new yacht designs. During his tenure Bauwens created the comprehensive company design manual which is still in use today and which helped ensure that all the designers at the firm incorporated the high the standards set by Jack Hargrave into each new project.

A resident of Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, Bauwens was a passionate sailor and maintained a lifelong love of gardening and a commitment to the welfare of all animals. He is survived by his wife Mariette.

Hargrave Offered Ten Mega Yachts in Miami Beach

Sales of both new and used Hargrave yachts have continued at a steady pace throughout winter and the company had to make changes to their line up four times after announcing their line up for Miami back in December. The company said their exciting line up of yachts at the display at their show location was very popular with show attendees.

Michael DiCondina, president of Hargrave said the company had ten yachts on display including a couple of recent trade-ins. “This is really the perfect market conditions for both buyers and sellers” he said, “sellers have finally lowered their prices to meet the market and there are plenty of buyers out there at the right price. The buyers are really happy to be getting their boat at a price they think is fair and the sellers are now free to move on and start looking for their next boat. We keep reminding our sellers that while they may be getting less than they hoped for in selling their boat, the price of their next one will be less as well so if they are staying in boating it all tends to balance out.”

FINAL MIAMI LINE UP:
135’ Hargrave Tri-Deck DREAMER

Bahia Mar, Fort Lauderdale, FL

Hargrave Custom Yachts’ SEAVENTURE, the featured attraction of the Seattle show, is a must-see power yacht built with three ambitions in mind: entertainment, comfort and privacy. She is an example of how Hargrave can maximize interior space for 8 guests and 4 crew. The custom-designed deck plan features an unusual and luxurious configuration for staterooms:

• A VIP king suite located forward with a private entrance via a secluded staircase.
• A large and spacious master stateroom with a centered king bed.
• Master and guest suites radiate from a breathtaking 60 square foot foyer at the foot of a spiral staircase.

Hargrave’s 101′ Sky Lounge configurations, like SEAVENTURE, have been our most popular over the past few years. Even so, every Hargrave yacht is completely unique – personalized to the owners’ tastes, desires, and lifestyles.

Building a Custom Yacht?

~Contact.FirstName~, the Seattle Boat Show offers more time to investigate building a custom yacht with Hargrave. Since Seattle is a quieter venue and a more intimate show than the larger international shows, it’s a great time to get all your questions answered and explore customization possibilities. Building your own custom yacht is an incredible experience. More than half of all Hargrave owners have returned to build a second custom yacht and some have built four in ten years!

Miami Beach Yacht & Brokerage Show,
February 17 – 21

In addition, the Yacht & Brokerage Show in Miami Beach, February 17-21 provides another opportunity to tour more Hargrave Custom Yachts. One of the yachts we will showcase is the newly built, 135′ Tri-Deck, DREAMER, the largest and most spacious Hargrave custom yacht yet.

Frank Atlass CEO of Atlass Insurance with wife Sally

My wife and I spent the last week in August cruising with old friends Frank & Sally Atlass aboard their Maine built 52’ custom Lyman Morris motoryacht. We arrived in Portland to find the 84’ Hargrave MOBILLITY in the next slip. The week before our visit I received an email from the 101′ NAMASTE that there were so many Hargraves at the Carousel Yacht Club & Marina in Boothbay Harbor that it looked like a rendezvous.

The 115' MISSY B II showing off here $1.0 million refit which included a new flybridge

As we sailed into Newport after a delightful three day visit to Nantucket we saw the 97’ Hargrave COCKTAILS and at the next marina the 115’ Hargrave MISSY B II, and finally at the Newport Shipyard we saw the 100’ Hargrave SEAFARER and the 97’ Hargrave HUNTRESS tied up together. It really made a statement about the success of our program at Hargrave, but even more important, it made a statement about the owners and captains we have been so fortunate to attract. Every boat looked as good as or better than the day we delivered it which not only helps the value of their individual boat but helps the value of all Hargraves as well. It really made me proud.

Each of these yachts was created by our Concept Studio and designed to showcase the creativity and leadership in design and engineering that has made the Hargrave a household name in the American yachting industry for the past four decades.

Several years ago we saw a critical need to accelerate the introduction of latest designs to the marketplace faster if we hoped to maintain our reputation as a leader in the industry. In doing so, we created for the first time several new Hargrave yachts available for immediate delivery which gave us the chance to enter the “instant gratification” segment of the yachting industry and compete with the top production builders here in the United States – Hatteras, Lazzara, and Wesport.

You will find that each of these yachts focuses on something new and different such as styling trends, creative space planning, or in some cases leading edge technology. Often times you will see state-of-the-art hardware, equipment, and machinery appearing throughout the yacht ensuring that your new Hargrave will be current for many years to come.

We especially thank our Hargrave owners who provide the capital to fund our Concept Studio development program which allows us to finally offer some Hargrave Custom Yachts for immediate delivery.

O’Meara called the new ANA C “a pocket megayacht” and said the four stateroom plus crew layout was a real accomplishment in the under 80′ category.
