The history of the brand

It is difficult to overestimate Hargrave's contribution to the design and engineering of boats on a global scale. He has invented many technologies that are still in use today, including the use of GRP and steel in shipbuilding.

All of Hargreve's creations are like his author - restrained, stately and reliable. The great designer really appreciated the real experience, so he was interested in the wishes and advice of captains, crews, yacht owners, decorators and shipbuilders. He implemented the best ideas in his projects, making life on luxury yachts easier and more enjoyable not only for owners, but also for the crew.
