Hargrave began as a design studio that quietly shaped the American yacht industry behind the scenes. Founded in 1957 by Jack Hargrave, the company helped define the look and feel of modern motor yachts, creating plans for builders like Hatteras and Burger. What set Hargrave apart wasn’t just its styling. It was Jack’s insistence that every yacht, no matter how luxurious, had to perform at sea.

That mindset still drives the company today. In 1997, Hargrave transitioned from design to construction, becoming a builder of fully custom motor yachts. Based in Fort Lauderdale, the team works closely with each client to develop a yacht that reflects their lifestyle. The size range spans from 70’ (21.3m) to 150’ (45.7m), with layouts tailored from the keel up. Hargrave doesn’t work from templates. It works from conversations.

Every model, whether it’s a Capri, Tri-Deck, or G120 Signature Series, is built from composite materials in hand-picked partner yards. Owners can expect a quiet ride, strong performance, and generous volume across every deck. Many come back to build again. That loyalty says something not just about the yachts, but about the experience of building one with Hargrave. It’s personal from start to finish.
