Salon
The main salon can be described as comfortable luxury, with a spacious seating and entertainment area. A generous sofa is found to port, complimented by two arm chairs to starboard, as well as a large chair and ottoman fitted with attractive paisley fabric in colors of marine blue and taupe. This lovely salon is accentuated by great views through port and starboard windows with custom window treatments, as well as carefully placed lighting, a plush textured carpet, and several high-gloss wood tables to display art work and personal items. A Marantz 42″ HD Widescreen TV and sophisticated audio/visual package complete the entertainment features. The open floor plan easily transitions into the defined galley with the addition of two bar stools that share the space between the main salon and the granite clad counters in the galley. This adds a sense of continuity and also creates more seating.

Galley
The galley flows nicely from the main salon, yet is defined by teak and holly flooring, as well as Sapelli wood cabinetry topped with gorgeous granite in a speckled tan color that pops in contrast to the dark wood. Two large counters project from the port side, making them ideal for food prep and service, and flush with each counter is a pair of bar stools so you and your guests can make full use of this well-designed galley. To starboard a row of Sub-zero refrigerators and freezers with matching wood panels are designed for optimal food storage. This area also houses a Sub-zero undercounter wine cooler. With a full oven, stovetop, microwave and double sink, you will be able to create culinary masterpieces with no stress. The forward flow of this yacht continues with movement into the helm and dinette area.

Master Stateroom
Relaxation is the theme below deck, starting with the beautiful master suite. Taking center stage is a king size bed fitted with rich crimson red fabrics that are accentuated by beige and gold tones, as well as complimenting design motifs such as florals, diamonds and sophisticated stripes. This bed is further adorned with a tufted beige headboard and a large mirrored backdrop, which reflects light around the room. His and her walk-in closets are enhanced by a full set of storage drawers to starboard. The wood is detailed with a cross grain in a diamond-shape on several surfaces, adding life to the space.

This yacht is designed to accommodate extended travel with plenty of storage and entertainment features, such as the Sharp 26″ HD LCD TV mounted on the forward wall.

Your most important guests will feel right at home with a queen size bed fitted with plush fabrics and centered in the space.

Fly Bridge
The top deck of CRAB POT consists of a large flying bridge with a custom Eisenglass enclosure that can be easily opened to transform the area, as well as a custom fiberglass hardtop for shade. Since this was the first Hargrave to be delivered directly to the West Coast, the Seattle based owners designed this yacht around the notorious weather of the area. Even if it is raining and cold, you can still enjoy the outdoors from this enclosed area. The forward helm has 2 Stidd helm’s chairs for a Captain and crewmember, as well as a large viewing settee. More seating is found aft of this area, taking up the entire port side in the form of a large u-shaped settee that can accommodate a huge group of people and features bright aqua and ocean blue accent colors that create a sense of energy and fun. A large high-gloss finished teak table sits in front of this seating area for al fresco dining and general entertainment. Just opposite this seating area is an elongated wet bar with an amazing 5 bar stools in a bright marine blue. Just imagine the lavish celebrations you could host in this fabulous outdoor area. The enclosed portion of the flybridge is finished with carpet that gives it that polished look. Aft of the enclosed space is a large sundeck with room for a 60″ round Whirlpool hot tub, a 26″BBQ Grill, and even a 15′ Nautica tender, davit and various water toys.
