Hargrave/Halmatic Motoryacht

Jack Hargrave is a legend. He was the architect of many fine yachts, large and small over the years. He was responsible for many of the Hatteras yachts. Empress of just one fine example.

 This Hargrave design was created for luxurious living and entertaining: to wit, the main salon and enclosed aft deck lounge were not separated by partitions. Everything about the interior is light and modern. The owner's stateroom, aft with a separate entry from the salon, is full beam and more than 16 feet wide, includes a walk-in locker, dressing room/office and large head and shower. Forward below are two large staterooms with private heads and showers, a day head, large laundry compartment, crew quarters/office and private head and shower. Hargrave considered this model the "ultimate yacht" in her size for her combination and large power and fuel capacity. This yacht can cruise very economically at hull speed or cruise fast around 20 knots. Very efficient and well designed hull. She is a beautiful looking yacht. Must see!

Empress is a beautiful Hargrave designed yacht. Wonderful layout for entertaining, cruising, or living aboard.
