Our Thoughts

The 2006 Hargrave Raised Pilothouse motor yacht *Mojito* represents a fully modernized offshore cruising platform that combines the proven design pedigree of the Hargrave brand with a comprehensive one-year refit completed in October 2025. At 97 feet in length with a 21-foot beam and 5.83-foot draft, this raised pilothouse configuration delivers the stability, sea-keeping, and quiet ride characteristic of Hargrave construction while maintaining the shallow-draft capability suitable for coastal and inland waterway exploration.

Powered by reliable Caterpillar engines, *Mojito* achieves a cruising speed of 18 knots with a maximum speed of 22 knots, supported by a 3,450-gallon fuel capacity that enables extended offshore passages. The 350-gallon freshwater capacity, combined with a newly installed watermaker and overhauled air-conditioning systems, ensures comfort during extended cruising in warm climates.

The raised pilothouse layout provides the classic Hargrave configuration with a spacious salon, formal dining area, and full-beam master suite, complemented by three additional guest staterooms and dedicated crew accommodations. This arrangement maximizes interior volume while maintaining excellent sightlines from the elevated helm position—a defining advantage of the pilothouse design for both navigation and entertaining.

The 2025 refit involved over $1 million in comprehensive upgrades across every major system. Exterior work included custom paint, a complete bottom job with new Cutlass bearings, fresh antifouling and zincs, full davit overhaul, and new LED exterior lighting. The retractable sun top and updated running gear position the yacht for both coastal cruising and offshore capability.

Interior updates encompass all new soft goods, new carpet throughout, new furniture in the salon, new mattresses in all staterooms, new blinds with power operation in the salon and master, and updated countertops in the galley and flybridge bar. The galley features new appliances, while crew and main laundry areas include new washer and dryer sets. Three new ice makers—salon bar, flybridge bar, and galley—support extended entertaining.

The mechanical systems reflect a commitment to reliability and redundancy. Main engine service totaling 4,000 hours was completed in September 2025. A new 45-kilowatt generator and overhauled 45-kilowatt port generator provide independent power, while a new watermaker, rebuilt Headhunter sanitation system, and completely renewed air-conditioning pumps and cooling systems ensure comfort and functionality. New fuel transfer pumps, all new batteries, and new battery chargers round out the mechanical upgrades.

Electronics and entertainment systems have been entirely updated. New Garmin plotters and Garmin Autopilot provide modern navigation and helm automation, while a new Starlink internet system delivers connectivity worldwide. The entertainment suite includes Sonos sound throughout, new Samsung Smart TVs in all staterooms, a 120-inch drop-down theater screen with high-definition projector in the main salon, Fusion stereo with high-definition amplifier and exterior speakers, and 4K surround sound throughout the yacht. Updated LED interior lighting completes the modern technological integration.

97-Foot Hargrave Raised Pilothouse Motor Yacht: Luxury Cruising Excellence Redefined
Overview
The M/Y Mojito stands as a compelling example of modern yacht ownership, combining the proven design heritage of Hargrave with a comprehensive one-year refit that spans every major system, structure, and interior element. This 97-foot raised pilothouse motor yacht represents a significant investment in quality and functionality, with documented upgrades totaling over $1 million completed in 2025. Built by Hargrave, a manufacturer renowned for seaworthy hull designs and classic proportions, Mojito delivers the stability, comfort, and quiet operational characteristics that define the brand. Currently positioned in Destin, Florida, and recently showcased at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, this vessel offers serious buyers the rare opportunity to acquire a fully restored Hargrave without the extended lead times and costs associated with new construction.
Vessel Design and Hull Characteristics
Hargrave's raised pilothouse configuration represents a purposeful approach to motor yacht design, prioritizing visibility, comfort, and seaworthiness. At 97 feet in length with a 21-foot beam and 5.83-foot draft, Mojito carries proportions that support stable cruising at extended range while maintaining the shallow-draft capability valued in coastal and inland waterways. The raised pilothouse design elevates the helm station above the main salon level, providing commanding sightlines in all directions and creating a natural separation between navigation spaces and entertaining areas—a layout particularly valued by owners who prioritize both active boat handling and guest comfort. The hull form, refined through decades of Hargrave's motor yacht heritage, balances displacement cruising efficiency with the power to achieve 22-knot maximum speeds when desired. Cruising at 18 knots offers a practical operating window that supports both fuel economy and schedule reliability. The 3,450-gallon fuel capacity and 350-gallon fresh water capacity are configured to support extended cruising without frequent refueling or water-making interruptions, though the newly installed watermaker system ensures independent water generation throughout voyages.
Comprehensive 2025 Refit: Systems and Structural Work
The one-year refit completed in October 2025 represents a systematic renewal of Mojito's operational and structural systems. This work extends far beyond cosmetic updates, addressing the foundational elements that determine a vessel's long-term reliability and seaworthiness. Exterior and Hull Work: The 2025 refit included custom paint application to the entire exterior, a comprehensive bottom job with new cutlass bearings, and complete antifouling and zinc replacement. These elements are fundamental to preventing corrosion, maintaining propulsion efficiency, and protecting the underwater hull structure. The davit system was fully overhauled, and new exterior LED lighting was installed throughout, enhancing both safety and nighttime aesthetics. A new retractable sun top provides weather protection on the flybridge , a feature that extends the usable entertaining space across seasons and climates. Engine and Mechanical Systems: The main Caterpillar engines received 4,000-hour service in September 2025, ensuring that fuel injection, cooling systems, exhaust components, and internal wear surfaces meet manufacturer specifications. A new 45-kilowatt generator was installed, while the port-side 45-kilowatt generator was overhauled to manufacturer standards. New fuel transfer pumps, battery banks, and battery chargers support reliable electrical and fuel management. All air-conditioning pumps, cooling pumps, and air handlers were replaced or rebuilt, with complete sanitization of ducting systems throughout the vessel. A new watermaker ensures independent fresh water generation, eliminating dependence on shore-based water supplies during extended cruising. Interior Soft Goods and Furnishings: New carpet, upholstery, mattresses, and window treatments were installed throughout the vessel. The salon and master stateroom feature new motorized power blinds, while new countertops were fitted in the flybridge bar and galley. All soft goods represent 2025 production, ensuring that interior finishes, fabrics, and cushioning reflect current standards and aesthetic preferences. Appliances and Amenities: The galley received new appliances, while crew and main accommodations now feature new washer and dryer sets. Three new ice makers—positioned in the salon bar, flybridge bar, and galley—support entertaining and crew comfort. The Headhunter marine sanitation system was updated and rebuilt to manufacturer standards, a critical component for proper waste management on extended cruises.
Electronics, Navigation, and Entertainment Systems
Mojito's electronics suite reflects 2025 technology standards and supports both safe navigation and modern connectivity. New Garmin plotters and Garmin autopilot systems provide reliable navigation, chart management, and helm automation. The autopilot reduces fatigue during extended cruising while maintaining course accuracy in varying sea conditions. Starlink internet connectivity represents a significant upgrade for modern yacht operations, enabling real-time weather routing, communication, streaming entertainment, and remote monitoring regardless of location. A comprehensive Sonos sound system distributes audio throughout the vessel, while new Fusion stereo systems with high-definition amplifiers and exterior speakers support entertaining and daily enjoyment. The main salon features a new motorized 120-inch drop-down theater screen with high-definition projection capability, creating an entertainment center for guests. Samsung Smart TVs are installed throughout the vessel, and the audio system is configured for 4K surround sound. New LED interior lighting throughout provides efficient, customizable illumination for different activities and times of day.
Layout and Accommodation Plan
The raised pilothouse design creates distinct zones that support both active cruising and entertaining. The main salon occupies a prominent position with new furnishings and entertainment systems, while a formal dining area provides dedicated space for meals and social gatherings. The full-beam master suite represents the owner's private retreat, featuring a dedicated air handler, new mattresses, motorized power blinds, and ensuite head facilities. Three additional guest staterooms accommodate family members and invited guests, each with new bedding, storage, and climate control. Crew accommodations are equally well-appointed, with dedicated crew quarters and service areas that support the staff required for larger motor yachts. The galley, equipped with new appliances and updated countertops, provides the functional space necessary for meal preparation during extended cruises or while entertaining. The flybridge offers outdoor entertaining and observation space, with a retractable sun top providing weather protection. A new bar with updated countertops supports casual entertaining and daytime activities. This deck area extends the vessel's usable entertaining space and provides commanding sightlines for navigation and guest enjoyment.
Helm Operations and Vessel Control
The raised pilothouse position elevates the helm station above the main deck, providing 360-degree visibility that enhances situational awareness and safe boat handling. The new Garmin autopilot system supports long-distance cruising by maintaining course and heading, reducing helm fatigue during extended passages. Garmin plotters display navigation charts, waypoints, and real-time vessel position, supporting passage planning and route optimization. The helm layout in a 97-foot raised pilothouse typically includes dual helm seats, comprehensive engine instrumentation, and integrated controls for propulsion, electrical systems, and onboard equipment. This arrangement supports both single-handed operation and crew coordination during maneuvering or emergency situations.
Power and Propulsion
Caterpillar diesel engines power Mojito, a choice that reflects reliability and fuel efficiency in the motor yacht category. The 4,000-hour service completed in 2025 ensures that fuel systems, cooling circuits, and internal components meet operational standards. Cruising at 18 knots provides practical fuel economy and range, while the 22-knot maximum speed capability supports schedule flexibility when conditions permit. The 3,450-gallon fuel capacity supports extended cruising distances without frequent refueling, a consideration particularly relevant for owners planning coastal passages or extended voyages. The newly installed watermaker generates fresh water independent of shore supplies, extending cruising autonomy and reducing dependence on marina water systems.
Why This Yacht Represents Current Value
Mojito embodies a deliberate ownership philosophy: acquiring a proven, seaworthy design and investing comprehensively in systems renewal rather than accepting the depreciation and lead-time uncertainty of new construction. The one-year refit, documented across structural, mechanical, and interior systems, provides transparency regarding the vessel's current condition and operational readiness. For buyers seeking a 90-plus-foot cruising motor yacht with proven sea-keeping qualities, modern electronics, and contemporary interior standards, Mojito's configuration and recent refurbishment address the practical requirements that define long-term ownership satisfaction. The raised pilothouse design supports both active boat handling and entertaining, a balance that appeals to owners valuing operational engagement alongside guest comfort. The Hargrave name carries recognition in the motor yacht market for hull design, construction quality, and the comfort characteristics associated with displacement cruising. This 97-foot example,
