Are your activities getting further away from the interests of your family?

As your children mature and begin lives of their own, it gets tougher and tougher to find family activities that are so interesting to them personally that it brings them around. A boat is one of those rare family activities that has a definite drawing effect. Not all boats, like sport fishing boats and sailing yachts, have the same drawing power as they tend to exclude some members of the family who don’t share the interest. However, custom motor yachts have the ability to draw the entire family together. Hargrave Custom Yachts can help you plan the most incredible and memorable gathering point any family could possibly have – aboard a yacht at sea.

Hearth and Home Aboard a Luxurious Custom Yacht

Home is where the heart is. For many of our customers, their hearts are captured by the lure of the sea. Many go into boating in an effort to have activities that pull the family together with experiences that are rich and full. Gradually, many of them find that certain types of boats are somewhat exclusionary to one family member or another. What appeals to Dad doesn’t always appeal to Mom or the kids or the grandchildren.

No Sport Fishing Boat Could Ever Compare

For example, sport fishing boats are great fun for Dad, but unless Mom is an angler too, Dad is going to spend his time with other friends that actually take him away from his family. Like camping in the great outdoors, men often like the campfire while women prefer more comfortable and bug free accommodations. Children are pliable when they are young, but unless they adopt the activity with an avid passion, you soon see them disappearing from the family scene.

Power Yachting Takes You to a Completely Different World

Sailing is another adventure that can be somewhat exclusionary to certain members of the family. It can often be a lot of work and is only genuinely relaxing in short bursts. On the other hand, there are very few people in the world cannot enjoy and appreciate the experiences aboard luxury motor yachts if given half a chance. A power motor yacht is the one kind of boat that appeals to virtually everyone.

Even in a Slump, Sales Attest to the Draw of a Luxury Motor Yacht

Sales of different types of boats react differently in an economic slump. Motor yachts provide so many more advantages that even when sales can fall off some during a recession, they don’t drop like sales of other types of boats. A large yacht provides a home-like environment and traveling in a cruiser yacht provides a different experience in the world of boating. There is nothing like a great voyage shared with family. When you’ve worked hard all your life to provide the nicer things for yourself and your family, this is one of those adventures that is so wonderfully shared with your family.

Special Events List Prominently in the Guest Log Book

Hargrave has built more than 75 luxury motor yachts since 1997, when it began building their line of unique custom yachts. By far most have been in the 70′ to 135′ range, the area of our specialty. We know the vast majority of these yachts have brought families closer together and celebrated many family victories. Two of our favorite owners in the Hargrave community celebrated their wedding on board. Birthdays, anniversaries, graduations are all more memorable when celebrated on board a power yacht. Hargrave owners have realized what many haven’t: that it’s time to celebrate life and do so with their families on the water.

The Multigenerational Gift of a Life Well Lived

It is not unusual to see three generations of a family onboard a large yacht. In fact, keeping their families close is one of the major reasons many people buy a yacht. You can see adults, children, infants, grandparents, teachers, friends and relatives all grouped together on motor yachts. More than sailing, trawling, fishing or any other yachting activity, a new yacht can pull family members from their worries, responsibilities and varied interests. Kids especially enjoy yachting well enough to realize it is an irreplaceable experience and are excited to go out with their parents on great seaborne adventures.

The memories from a yacht cruise are priceless. The photos, stories and phone calls we receive every week in our office all attest to the glorious experiences afloat. Celebrate life. Decompress from the rigors of business. Enjoy those priceless times with your family and close friends.
