Our Thoughts

The 2003 Hargrave Skylounge represents a thoughtfully designed and comprehensively equipped 78-foot motor yacht, built for owners seeking the flexibility of full-time cruising with or without professional crew. Powered by twin Caterpillar 3412 E inboard engines delivering 2,800 horsepower combined, this vessel achieves a cruising speed of 17 knots and a maximum speed of 21 knots, supported by a 2,700-gallon fuel capacity and 435-gallon water supply suited to extended offshore passages.

The layout reflects Hargrave's owner-operator philosophy, with five staterooms and six heads accommodating up to ten guests while providing dedicated forward crew quarters—a captain's stateroom with double berth and a secondary bunk cabin with over-under configuration—each with independent access via galley stairs. This separation allows seamless operation with or without crew, a defining feature for long-range cruising families or those planning to charter with professional management.

The main deck centers on a sophisticated salon anchored by a curved bar with black granite top, two Samsung 55" UHD 4K televisions, and distinct seating zones in bone-leather and aqua upholstery. A formal dining area features a round glass table with built-in banquette and parsons' chairs, while a ceiling-height glass display cabinet showcases stemware and fine china. The galley forward delivers restaurant-quality provisioning with GE Profile appliances (4-burner cooktop, Advantium convection microwave, Triton dishwasher, trash compactor, and side-by-side refrigerator), granite countertops, a center island with swivel seating, dedicated pantry, and direct side-deck access via starboard pantograph door.

The pilothouse and skylounge occupy the upper deck, accessed by cherry steps adjacent to the galley. The helm sits on centerline with dual black leather Stidd chairs, while the skylounge aft features a marble-topped two-level bar with Sub Zero refrigerator and ice maker, L-shaped settee with storage, cherry and glass coffee table, and a bow-front day head with teak and holly sole. Stainless steel sliding doors with Duette shades open to the boat deck.

The owner's cabin showcases a king berth on the aft bulkhead, framed with burl wood columns and beveled mirrors with sconces, upholstered headboard, and rope lighting. A pop-up 24" Insignia television is housed in a cherry cabinet at the foot of the bed. Storage includes a 12-drawer chest, cedar-lined locker, and media cabinet with safe. Dual heads feature Emperador marble, Kohler sinks, full-size Head Hunter toilets, Jacuzzi tub, and marble-inlaid shower. A dedicated cherry bar cabinet includes U-Line refrigerator and sink. The VIP cabin mirrors this layout with identical king suite configuration, dual heads, and premium finishes.

Guest accommodations include a starboard guest cabin with versatile over-under berths, integrated drawer storage, burl wood nightstands, cedar-lined locker, and cherry chest of drawers. A 15" Sharp television and Panasonic media system provide entertainment. The en suite head features teak and holly sole, white marble vanity, Kohler sink, full-size Head Hunter toilet, and stall shower with teak grate, marble seat, and bifold glass door. The port guest cabin provides similar comfort with independent head access.

Layout and Deck Design
The Hargrave Skylounge's layout exemplifies thoughtful design philosophy, with distinct zones for helm operations, entertainment, dining, and accommodation that flow naturally throughout the vessel. The enclosed Pilothouse and Sky Lounge occupy the upper helm level, accessed via steps adjacent to the galley, establishing a command center that overlooks the main entertainment spaces below. The helm is positioned on the vessel's centerline for optimal visibility and control, while aft of the helm a marble-topped two-level bar with Sub Zero refrigerator, icemaker, and cherry cabinetry creates an elegant entertaining space. An L-shaped settee with storage, stainless steel sliding doors to the boat deck with motorized Duette shades, and a day head with bow-front vanity complete this multipurpose area. A Samsung 55-inch UHD 4K television mounted in a cherry cabinet with burl wood top provides entertainment options, while the enclosed design with glass doors and shading offers climate control and privacy. The main salon below flows seamlessly from the galley forward, with port-side seating in bone-colored leather, starboard entertainment area featuring an aqua blue armchair and high-gloss cherry display counter concealing another Samsung 55-inch UHD 4K television, and a spacious dining area with built-in banquette, round glass table, and parsons' chairs. A curved bar with black granite top and blue-cushioned silver bar stools, flanked by substantial columns and a ceiling-height glass display cabinet for stemware and china, anchors the entertainment zone. The lower foyer, accessed via curved cherry steps, provides organized access to midship accommodations, with the master suite entry forward and guest suites to port and starboard. Flooring transitions between teak and holly, black granite, and Emperdor Dark marble, while overhead lighting combines rope lights and halogen mini spots to create layered ambiance throughout. The foredeck features a dedicated bow seating area and sun lounge with cushions and covers, raised fiberglass non-skid surfaces, oversized stainless steel bow rails, and comprehensive lighting. Ground tackle includes twin Maxwell 3500 windlasses feeding two 100-pound Airtex stainless steel plow anchors with approximately 200 feet of chain each, positioned beneath hinged covers for clean lines. Dual fresh and salt water washdowns, port and starboard boarding gates, and a starboard locker housing 50-amp shore power, television and phone inlets, and potable water inlet provide practical functionality. Wide walk-around side decks with frameless windows maintain the vessel's sleek profile while ensuring safe passage throughout. The aft deck serves as an extension of the yacht's entertainment spaces, with varnished teak table mounted on dual adjustable stainless steel posts, a five-person bench seat with removable cushions, and loose teak chairs arranged to face aft. Teak tread steps with courtesy lights lead down to the swim platform on both port and starboard sides, flanked by hinged stainless steel gates. A portside bar cabinet with Sub Zero refrigerator, icemaker, and sink complements the main galley, while a custom full enclosure with Textulene inserts provides privacy when desired. Fresh and salt water washdowns, a dedicated hot and cold shower in a portside locker, and dual Maxwell 2200 stern line handling capstans with foot switches provide both practical seamanship and comfort amenities. Two aft-facing cameras support docking and maneuvering operations.
Helm and Electronics
The Pilothouse helm establishes a comprehensive command center outfitted with professional-grade navigation, communication, and vessel control systems. Dual black leather Stidd helm chairs provide ergonomic seating for extended helm watch, while a 6-inch Danforth Constellation magnetic compass offers traditional backup navigation. Dual Caterpillar digital engine displays monitor power plant performance, while three 17-inch Samsung flat screen displays integrate radar, plotter, and closed-circuit television feeds. Raymarine ST60 digital and analog wind display, dual Raymarine ST60 digital depth sounders, and dual Raymarine RN300 GPS units establish a layered navigation suite. A Raymarine ST7001+ autopilot with ST60 rudder angle indicator automates course-keeping, while dual Standard Horizon Spectrum Plus VHF radios with DSS provide maritime communication. The Naiad joystick bow thruster control, stern thruster controls, and Glendinning engine controls with wired handheld remote enable single-operator maneuvering in close quarters. Raymarine electronics integrate with Nobeltec charting software and Nobeltec 4.5 PC radar for comprehensive situational awareness. A KVH Tracvision satellite television system, Syrens WiFi signal booster, and dual Dell computers support modern connectivity. Dual ACR RCL 100 searchlight controls and Bennett trim tab controls with LED indicators optimize sea state response and vessel handling. The Multisea II control panel centralizes stabilizer and thruster operations, while the Glendinning wired handheld remote extends helm control to the boat deck and aft areas for anchoring and maneuvering. Electric Wema fuel and water tank gauges provide real-time consumables monitoring, and a central vacuum outlet system supports helm area maintenance. Triple electric blinds on forward windows, wind indicator controls with washers, and a bilge pump control panel with indicator and alarm round out the comprehensive helm setup.
Galley and Provisioning
The country kitchen galley forward of the salon combines high-end appliances with thoughtful workflow design. A center island with granite countertop and swivel stools establishes a casual dining and preparation zone, while dedicated pantry storage and deep pull-out drawers for cookware ensure efficient organization. The galley's equipment roster includes a GE Profile four-burner Ceran cooktop, GE Stainless Steel Profile Advantium microwave convection oven, GE Triton stainless steel dishwasher, GE Profile Performance trash compactor, and GE Profile Performance side-by-side refrigerator and freezer, providing comprehensive meal preparation capability. A deep stainless steel sink with Grohe faucet and spray attachment, built-in soap dispenser, and garbage disposal support daily operations. A Faber slide-out vent hood with light manages cooking odors, while a 20-inch Sony Aquos built-in LCD television and stereo speakers provide entertainment during meal preparation. The galley's finishes reflect the yacht's overall aesthetic, with varnished teak and holly sole, high-gloss cherry drawers and cabinets, and electric blinds on three forward windows controlling natural light and heat. Fourteen overhead halogen mini spots provide task and ambient lighting, while digital AC controls and a central vacuum outlet support climate management and maintenance. A starboard pantograph door provides direct side-deck access for convenient provisioning, and the area connects seamlessly to the Sky Lounge via open-tread stairs and to forward guest cabins via a centerline companionway, enabling efficient crew circulation during entertaining.
Owner's and VIP Accommodations
