Big, beautiful and highly refined, the 100-foot custom Hargrave, La Marchesa, is a yacht built to uncompromising standards. Built for active cruising owners who put 1,200 hours on their last yacht (an 82-footer), the 100 was tailored to meet their specific needs. Special features created for them include a library with a Pullman berth — located near the master stateroom, for early-morning reading.

A spacious country kitchen-style galley is forward, on the main deck. It is accented with granite countertops, an island prep center, a comfortable settee and an inlaid table. The raised pilothouse is a skipper’s dream station, providing a sky-high all-around view of the water. Along with a gigantic, yet elegant main saloon with a dramatic wood-framed tray overhead and recessed lighting, standout features include the master stateroom with a king-size berth and private library access, and two guest staterooms.
