Our Owners
Nothing is more important to our company than the complete satisfaction of every owner and one of the most telling signs of a Hargrave owner is that they always have a smile on their face when they talk about their yacht. When you become the owner of a Hargrave Yacht you also become a part of the Hargrave Family of Owners. This network of people includes not only every owner and their family and crew, but it is also made up of a diligent and dedicated staff of people that work together to make your yachting experience the best possible. These quotes reflect what makes our company a success on a daily basis and are expressed by the very people who define Hargrave Custom Yachts.
Tom Murphy, Jr., owner of 97’ Raised Pilothouse COCKTAILS
"I can now, unequivocally, say that I enjoyed every aspect of the process - from designing, to actually going over to Taiwan and seeing her during the building stages, to commissioning, christening and ultimately enjoying cruising aboard her for the last ten months. Every member of your team was knowledgeable, professional and always more than accommodating. I think the fact that I am now having Hargrave build my second custom yacht, a 125' raised pilothouse, speaks volumes about my experience with you and the rest of your team."
Kelly Bettis, owner of 94’ Sky Lounge SUGAR TOO
“It was such a pleasure to finally deal with a company that is not just ‘out for the sale’ but is dedicated to follow-through with 100% customer satisfaction. It’s not everyday that you can be associated with a firm like yours that puts customer satisfaction ahead of profitability.”
Grady Burrow, owner of 115’ Tri-Deck MISSY B II (previously owned the 109’ Hargrave MISSY B)
“What you said in the beginning was still true a year later and three years later and is still true today. And, you were with us every step of the way.”
Clayton McWhorter, former owner of the 90’ Raised Pilothouse LADY MICHELLE
“It goes without question that I would recommend you and Hargrave to anyone interested in owning and/or building a quality boat. You have been extremely sensitive to those issues that arise when undertaking a project of this magnitude.”
Richard Levy, owner of the 108’ Raised Pilothouse FREEDOM
“The truth is, what was important to us was getting the boat we wanted. In our design meetings whatever we asked for, there was no hesitation. Even when I said I didn’t want to carry the tender on the flying bridge. They had never built a boat with a tender garage before, but they got right to work and figured it out.” As quoted in the article “Freedom of Choice” from the June/July 2006 issue of Showboats International Magazine.
Sam Shalem, owner of the 105’ Flush Deck DREAM
“I am very happy with Hargrave, the service, the relationship, the support. I can only say positive things about Mike Joyce and Mike DiCondina and I mean it from my heart.”
Jason Taylor, owner of the 99’ Raised Pilothouse KATINA
“When I first decided to build a larger yacht, I put together my wish list and thoroughly investigated nearly every major yacht builder. As my search progressed I found that the road always led me back to Hargrave. Mike Joyce and Hargrave Yachts bring honesty, integrity and reliability to the table when they are building first class boats, and I couldn’t be happier with my M/Y KATINA.”
Donald Dilks, owner of 68’ Capri Flybridge TARA
“When I first purchased my Hargrave almost no one knew your name. When we cruised through Ft. Lauderdale last weekend it seemed Hargrave yachts were everywhere and when I make slip reservations now, marinas not only know the Hargrave name they give us the most visible slip assignments. Did you know your cap has become one of the most collectable items at a dock? Folks would rather have a Hargrave cap then a nice tip. It makes me, as an owner, proud for you also. Great job! Rita and I are really enjoying our motoryacht.“
