Description
The HT HOOK is an exceptional 72’ Merritt Sportfish that blends performance, comfort , and style. With a 4-stateroom, 3-head layout, she comfortably accommodates 7 guest making her perfect for extended trips with family and friends.
In 2019, HT HOOK underwent a major refit at Merritt’s including new soft goods, upgraded countertops and modern Miele appliances. The installation of two Seakeeper 9’s provides maximum comfort both at rest and underway. A Furuno CHS-8LM2 Omni Sonar was installed and the 3,000 hour engine service was completed.
HT HOOK is powered with 1800 HP Caterpillar C32 Acert engines and has always been maintained under a open checkbook program. The most recent 1,000 hour service was completed in February 2025 and at this time both port and starboard exhaust risers were replaced by D’Angelos ensuring reliable service for years to come.
In August of 2024, HT HOOK received full replacement of the teak deck and covering boards, skillfully crafted by Southern Craftsman, enhancing both her durability and classic appeal.
From her powerful performance to her luxurious accommodations and proven maintenance history, the HT HOOK is turn key and ready for her next adventure.

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!"
