Luxury motor yacht Adventure Us II by Hargrave Custom Yachts
2014 94’ HARGRAVE SKY LOUNGE MOTORYACHT – “ADVENTURE US II” 4 Staterooms | On Deck Master | Crew Aft | Cat C-32 1,600 HP
The 94’ Sky Lounge superyacht ADVENTURE US II has been designed to meet the needs of three generations of family, plus crew:
Grandmother – concerned about mobility down the road
Adult Children – they wanted everything – golf clubs, king sized beds, private areas
Grandchildren – high tech everywhere and 3 beds in girls cabin with double flat screens
Crew – room for additional crew providing more comfort, more livability, more privacy
Holiday Entertaining – have some snapshots of how the family uses this yacht. Imagine 18 people on the fly bridge, or how about 12 people at expandable dining table. In this women’s world, family is everything, we should all be so lucky to have a grandmother like this one!
Michael F. Joyce, Hargrave’s CEO said: “I am really proud of this boat. She is really special in both concept and execution and I am amazed at how well it matches all of the requirements that were on the family’s wish list. I think when you see all the design details that went into this boat you will agree that this is the most “custom” yacht we have delivered to date, and it’s a great story as well.”
Created for, and by, a grandmother who loves the water and started her own boating adventures aboard a 24’ Sea Ray many years ago, she is now enjoying her second custom built Hargrave. She has a crystal clear vision when it comes to boating, “I want my children and grandchildren to look back someday and say the best times in their lives were aboard our family’s boat.”
You know how some adults go ballistic when they see kids on their I Phone or tablets? Well this grandmother made sure her boat offered state of the art connectivity, game controllers, multiple flat screens, and enough power outlets to handle every device they have with them. She want to have onboard the latest and greatest of everything so instead of saying” I don’t want to go to the boat” they jump at the chance to visit. Be assured, she has also trained them that there is family time when they power down all get together to talk, and also boating time when they get out on the water to fish, ski, windsurf, and kayak.
The ADVENTURE US II yacht will appear in this one boat show only so don’t miss the opportunity to see an example of where Hargrave believes their segment of the industry will be heading over the next 20 years. With their 100% focus on the US market, Hargrave is creating designs and concepts to meet the needs of the biggest birth wave in history as they all go into the retirement portion of their lives. These trends are showing up big time in residential construction and will be impacting the boating industry more and more each year. The company believes Hargrave is in a unique position to lead the industry in this segment of the market.
2015 76’ HARGRAVE FLUSH DECK WIDEBODY MOTORYACHT New Live-aboard Model | 4 Staterooms | Expanded Salon, Galley, and Bridge Deck
THE CONCEPT
Hargrave likes to call their new widebody model a “2 in 1” yacht because it is meant to serve as both a home and a boat, offering luxury live-aboard accommodations on the water while still being able to handle the rough waters of the Gulf Stream whenever required. Yacht Interiors by Shelley of Ft. Lauderdale designed the floor plan for a couple who wants to live-aboard for months at a time while entertaining family and friends throughout the year and who may or may not have full time crew.
