Description
MARINE TRADER 50 WIDEBODY M/Y
One of the most beautiful and well-maintained Marine Trader motor yachts on the market today. With very low engine hours, large staterooms, full size galley, upgraded electronics and so much more, this turn-key vessel is immediately ready to live aboard and/or cruise. Appointed with a large salon and dining area, bar, galley with granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances, full size stove, full size (22cubic ft) refrigerator, beverage refrigerator and tons of storage you will truly feel right at home. The upper and lower helms are identical with a fully upgraded electronics suite as well as bow and stern thrusters. Each air conditioned/heated stateroom has its own private refurbished head. The Captains and VIP staterooms will make you feel like you’re staying at a classic hotel, while the V-Birth is the coziest spot on board for overnight guests, to read a book, or just take a nap. In between the VIP and Captain’s staterooms is a beautiful rug lined companionway with easy access to the diesel sipping Cummins 6B5.9 210 HP Turbo Diesels, generator, water maker, and new Victron inverter with four DC to DC chargers. The massive flybridge has a full isinglass enclosure with a large sundeck with two large deck boxes, lounge chairs and a Big Green Egg smoker to aft. The 13’ console helm Zodiac tender is launched easily with the Marquip davit to the stern of the sundeck. Everything but private books and artwork convey. Come on board, provision the galley and set off to the tropics.

Our company was founded by Jack Hargrave in 1957 in Palm Beach, Florida. In addition to being a Hall of Fame yacht designer best known for his work with builders like Amels, Burger, and Hatteras yachts, Jack Hargrave was also a highly successful yacht broker, as was his father before him. If you are not familiar with our company, Hargrave Yachts is one of the oldest and most respected yacht brokerage firms in the State of Florida. In addition to being a full-service yacht brokerage organization we maintain an in-house service department that our customers rate as 5-Star. When most yacht manufacturers put in their own in-house design and engineering departments we made the decision to begin building yachts in the 65’-200’ size range under the Hargrave brand name in 1997. As we tell all our brokerage clients, "If we can't find the perfect boat for you we'll build it!"
