QUIET SUN - N/A FOR SALE

With light use on CAT C-18s, refreshed navigation systems, and what may be the roomiest 76-foot luxury motor yacht available, QUIET SUN distinguishes herself from comparable builds. Her gelcoat gleams, her interiors present impeccably, and she is genuinely offered as a trade-in from a larger Hargrave yacht upgrade.

Prelude

Every yacht has a story, and this one has a particularly compelling chapter. Having stepped off a 100’ Hargrave, the hands-on owner sought all the capabilities and comforts of his hundred-footer in a more compact, owner-operated package. He specified three large cabins forward, complemented by an additional cabin aft that many will choose to dedicate to crew. A wide-body design imparts the interior volume of a 100’ yacht, while generous ceiling height, the purposeful deletion of a formal dining room—balanced by three other places to dine—and a galley-forward flush-deck layout together create an impressively open main deck. Below, three large cabins, including a master with a California king and his-and-hers heads, deliver accommodations on par with his 100’ Hargrave.

A knowledgeable owner throughout, he kept engine services up to date, refreshed the electronics and exterior cushions, and installed a 75” TV in the salon, among other thoughtful upgrades. The “QUIET SUN” exterior finish shines like new. A decade on, with the family grown and a new 110’ Hargrave just delivered, this exceptionally well-maintained yacht now comes to market as a very seriously for sale “trade in.”

Walk through

Boarding QUIET SUN is effortless, whether stepping onto the swim platform from a floating dock or ascending the Marquipt Tide Ride ladder to the port or starboard aft deck. The aft deck welcomes with a fixed twin-pedestal varnished cherry table and a mix of loose and built-in seating for eight, all set on a teak sole beneath an FRP overhead fitted with ample flush LED lighting, while comfortable stairs to starboard lead up to the boat deck.

An electrically operated sliding door opens to the salon, where a large L-shaped upholstered couch to port is paired with twin timber-and-glass coffee tables. To starboard, a graceful curved cabinet integrates a wine cooler, storage cabinet, and drawers, with a matching curved barware cabinet above. Farther forward, two swivel chairs flank a matching table, and at the forward end a bank of drawers is crowned by glass storage, while opposite to port a 75" TV sits above cabinets and drawers.

Forward to starboard, a Day Head precedes the eat-in galley, which features stainless steel appliances, a starboard side deck door, and convenient stairs both to the flybridge and to the staterooms below. Nine steps descend to the accommodation foyer serving a forward VIP, a port twin cabin, and a king-size master aft. The master boasts his-and-her heads with a central shower, three hanging lockers, and generous drawer storage.

The flybridge is reached via interior stairs or external steps from the aft deck to the boat deck. The helm is centerline with a Stidd helm chair and raised passenger seating to port, while twin U-shaped dining areas lie aft to port and starboard. Aft-facing cabinetry conceals a grill, icemaker, refrigerator, and abundant storage, and the tender and crane sit furthest aft, safeguarded by a remarkable stainless steel railing.

The crew and engine room area are accessed through a centerline swim platform door. Immediately to port are twin lower bunks with a Pulman forward to accommodate three crew as needed, with privacy provided by a sliding three-panel wall. To starboard is a private head with a stall shower, and forward, behind the signature stainless-steel hinged door, lies the very spacious, well-executed engine room.

Salon

Entered through the air-operated sliding door from the aft deck, the salon feels remarkably expansive thanks to its wide-body design and increased headroom. Immediately to port, a twelve-foot-long L-shaped upholstered sofa comfortably seats six or seven people and, purpose-built with full access beneath, provides abundant storage. In front, two matching burlwood, two-level coffee tables with glass tops anchor the seating area in refined style. To starboard upon entry, a two-level curved bar area elevates entertaining with a Kohler undermount sink set beneath a marble countertop, four drawers, two cherry storage cabinets, a U-Line wine cooler concealed behind a cherry door, four curved upper glassware cabinets, and soffit lighting that casts a warm, inviting glow.

Moving forward, two upholstered swivel barrel chairs flank a smaller table that echoes the design of the coffee tables, while outboard under the house-side windows eight storage cabinets add practical elegance. The windows are dressed with Roman Shades illuminated by LED strip lighting behind the valance, with matching treatments to port over the sofa. Further forward to starboard, facing aft, a bank of ten drawers topped with a marble countertop sits beneath four storage cabinet drawers above for additional stemware. Opposite to port is a matching but larger arrangement of four drawers and four cabinet doors, the outboard two concealing the yacht’s stereo gear, while a curved marble shelf and a seventy-five-inch Samsung Smart TV complete the presentation.

The salon’s scale and sophistication are underscored by six-inch-wide walnut planks and plush ultra-vinyl on the overhead, complemented by eighteen overhead Cantalupi LED light fixtures, digital A/C controls, a five-channel stereo speaker system, a carpeted sole, and full drapes spanning the aft bulkhead.

Day head

Just forward of the salon, the yacht’s day head features a full-size Headhunter toilet paired with a marble countertop, an undermount Kohler sink, and two cabinet doors below. Above, three beveled-edge mirrors enhance light and space, with the inboard mirror opening as a medicine cabinet. Outboard, a house-side window dressed with Roman shades provides natural illumination, while the sole of solid teak planks continues seamlessly into the galley.

Galley

Commanding the forward-most area of the main deck, the galley is bathed in natural light through wraparound windows and is served by a starboard side deck pantograph door. A sole of solid teak planking sets a warm, seafaring tone, while the forward section features a built-in, raised U-shaped dinette that seats six around a high-gloss dining table poised on two wooden pedestals.

Culinary equipment is thoughtfully curated and elegantly integrated, including a stainless steel GE Monogram refrigerator with two freezer drawers below, a GE Monogram stainless steel microwave oven with exhaust fan and work lights, a GE Profile five-burner cooktop, and a GE Monogram stainless steel wall oven. Cleanup is equally refined with a Fisher and Paykel two-drawer stainless steel dishwasher, a Franke undermount sink, and a GE garbage disposal with a sink-top switch. Abundant storage is provided by twelve cherry cabinets and four drawers, two of which are discreetly hidden, complemented by a slide-out trash cabinet. A generous center island with a granite top adds both workspace and stowage, offering four drawers and six cabinets beneath. Granite countertops throughout deliver a premium working surface, while a Samsung TV enhances the space for casual entertainment and news at a glance.

Illumination and systems are purposefully arranged with seventeen directional overhead LED lights and four directional under-cabinet LED lights, supported by two stereo speakers for ambient sound. Practical details include Roman shades on the side windows, a dedicated 24V electrical panel, digital A/C controls, an analog water tank gauge, and two Headhunter Tank Sentry LED tank level meters. An access panel to the area beneath the flybridge helm simplifies service, and a flight of nine steps with step lights leads gracefully to the flybridge, completing a galley that blends seagoing functionality with polished, residential elegance.

Accommodations - companionway

From the galley forward on the starboard side, nine carpeted steps with step lights lead below, flanked by two large lockers for stewardess storage, while aft a GE washer and dryer are discreetly concealed behind twin walnut doors. Forward awaits the king-size VIP suite, followed by a convertible twin-bed suite, and aft a generously proportioned master cabin features a California king-size berth, abundant storage, and a his-and-her head separated by a shower.

VIP cabin

All the way forward lies a king-size VIP suite anchored by a raised king berth set off the forward bulkhead. Six mirrored panels with Makore trim form a striking headboard, while a soffit overhead integrates two reading lights. At the foot of the berth, six drawers are neatly built in for generous stowage. To port and starboard, hull-side cabinetry forms the nightstands, each side offering two hinged-top storage cuddies. Above the shelf line, a stainless steel deadlight sits behind Roman Shades, with hidden rope lighting tucked into the valance on both port and starboard to create a soft evening glow. Aft to starboard, a single-door cedar auto-lit hanging locker stands beside the entrance to the ensuite head, while to port a double-door cedar-lined auto-lit hanging locker incorporates a safe within. Centered on the aft bulkhead facing the berth, a Samsung 32" Smart TV provides entertainment.

VIP head

A full-size Headhunter toilet faces a generously proportioned high-gloss walnut vanity fitted with eight drawers and two cabinets. Its Perlato Sicilia marble countertop integrates an undermount Kohler sink, while above, four mirrored medicine-cabinet doors are crowned with additional mirrored panels to enhance depth and brightness. The sole is laid in solid teak planks. An eight-square-foot stall shower enclosed by a glass bi-fold door offers a handheld or wall-mountable fixture and an opening stainless-steel porthole. Completing the comforts, the head includes an A/C vent, six LED lights, and an exhaust vent.

Guest cabin

Entered from the forward end, this welcoming cabin presents two berths set along the outboard bulkhead, each appointed with an upholstered headboard and served by a handsome three-door nightstand between them. Beneath each berth, two drawers provide discreet stowage, and the berths ingeniously slide together to create a queen berth whenever desired. Above the berths, an attractive hull-side deadlight, softly veiled by Roman Shades, bathes the space in natural light. On the inboard bulkhead, a Samsung 32” Smart TV stands ready for entertainment, while forward a cedar-lined, auto-lit hanging locker keeps wardrobe pieces perfectly organized. Just one step up, the ensuite head awaits.

Guest cabin head

The guest head features a high-gloss walnut vanity with two cabinets and two drawers beneath a Perlato Sicilia marble countertop with an undermount Kohler sink. Above, two mirrored medicine cabinets offer additional storage. The 8.75-square-foot stall shower is fitted with a bi-fold clear glass door, a marble seat, and both a handheld and a wall-mounted fixture. Overhead, four LED lights, an A/C vent, and an exhaust fan ensure bright, comfortable ventilation, while the sole is finished in solid teak planks.

Master cabin

Entered via twin hinged doors set slightly to starboard, the master sanctuary centers a California king berth against the aft bulkhead, with two large drawers beneath each side. The headboard features a Capiz shell inset between Makore partitions that mirror the ceiling treatment above the berth, while each side presents a three-door nightstand crowned by reading lights. Outboard on both sides are entrances to identical his-and-hers heads, ensuring seamless convenience no matter which side of the bed is favored. To starboard, outboard, an L-shaped, four-door, cedar-lined, auto-lit hanging locker discreetly houses a Denon AV receiver and a Blu-ray player. Aft, a bank of twelve drawers is topped by a high-gloss walnut countertop, and a fixed double deadlight framed by Roman shades bathes the space in soft natural light. On the forward bulkhead, a 46-inch Samsung Smart TV awaits, while to port a double-door, cedar-lined hanging locker is followed by a vanity with stool, flanked by four drawers to port and starboard.

His and hers heads

Identical in layout and appointments, each head showcases a high-gloss walnut vanity with ten drawers and two cabinets, crowned by a Perlato Sicilia marble countertop with a Kohler undermount sink and a mirror flanked by two medicine cabinets. Outboard, a raised marble top is complemented by two cabinets above, two cabinets dedicated to linen storage, and a drawer below.

Forward sit the full-size toilet and a frosted glass partition, while outboard, behind Roman shades, are the same attractive deadlights featured in the master cabin. The central 14-square-foot shower presents clear glass doors and sidelights, a marble seat, and both a handheld and a wall-mountable fixture. Together the heads provide twenty-two overhead LED lights, an exhaust fan, and A/C vents, and the sole is laid in solid teak planks with a satin finish.

Bow

Forward, the foredeck is finished in fiberglass non-skid decking for confident footing and framed by a welded stainless-steel bow rail with oversize cleats and hawse holes. The ground-tackle suite centers on a Maxwell 3500 windlass with up-and-down foot switches, feeding a stainless-steel anchor chute with bow roller and a 150-pound Aritex stainless-steel plow anchor served by 200 feet of chain and a chain stripper, all conveniently accessed through a Bomar deck hatch into the anchor locker. Three port and three starboard freeing ports efficiently clear green water, while port and starboard hinged boarding gates with rail breaks simplify side access. A stainless-steel bow pennant staff adds a classic touch, and a black Textilene windshield cover protects the pilothouse glass.

Guests are welcomed by a three- to four-person bow seat with removable cushions complemented by a two-person sun pad, also with removable cushions, with a deck hatch opening into the VIP below for natural light and airflow. Entertainment at the bow is seamless via a Fusion stereo control paired with two JL Audio speakers. Night passages benefit from low-level lighting and dedicated low-level deck lighting, with overhead lighting to port and starboard and an overhead stainless-steel rail along the side deck catwalks for added security. Practical amenities include a fresh-water quick-disconnect fitting, a shore-water hook-up with pressure regulator to starboard, and a 100-amp shore cord hook-up on the bow, port side. Stowage is ample thanks to two built-in FRP (fiber-reinforced plastic) deck boxes in the trunk cabin.

Aft deck

Crafted for effortless alfresco living, the aft deck is laid in teak over an FRP sole and secured by stainless steel handrails, with port and starboard inward-swinging boarding doors incorporating rail breaks and hinged stainless gates at the port and starboard steps to the swim platform. Entertainment is at hand with a fold-down 40" Samsung TV operated electrically, while an 84" varnished cherry table, five teak deck chairs with cushions and covers, and a 98" bench seat aft with removable cushions, storage below, and a protective cover create a refined social setting. Two stainless steel boat deck support poles provide robust rigidity, and oversized cleats with corner hawse holes to port and starboard simplify handling. To port, an FRP cabinet conceals a U-Line drink fridge and a Hoshizaki icemaker behind FRP doors, complemented by a quick-connect fresh water washdown fitting for easy upkeep. Access to the upper spaces is via nine teak-tread steps with step lights on the starboard side leading to the boat deck, with a large storage locker beneath the flybridge steps and an emergency engine room hatch in the deck for peace of mind. Ambience and visibility are assured by fourteen overhead LED lights set into FRP panels, two JL Audio speakers, and two rear-facing docking lights, all monitored by one CCTV camera. The space connects seamlessly to the interior through an auto-sliding stainless-steel–trimmed door to the salon and is serviced by an eight-step Marquipt boarding ladder and the Signature Hargrave starboard-side Marquipt storage cabinet.

Swim platform

Approached from either side, the non-skid FRP swim platform is served by five teak-tread steps port and starboard, each with its own step light and secured by stainless steel handrails at the steps. Four removable stainless hoop rails, with one pair of storage sockets, adapt the platform to your preferences, while a Dogable Bomar hatch provides access to the rudder area and a dedicated locker houses a hot and cold shower wand. Seamanship essentials include an emergency rudder deck fitting and a stainless steel swim ladder socket ready for the four-step stainless steel swim ladder with teak treads. For shore power convenience, hinged access on the starboard side leads to the 100 amp Glendinning cord set, and boarding is made effortless with a three-step Marquipt hull-side teak boarding ladder.

Flybridge

Accessible by interior stairs from the galley or steps from the aft deck, the flybridge feels exceptionally spacious even by larger-yacht standards. The helm is centerline, and a two-piece hatch door leads up from the galley on the starboard side. To port is a raised two-person helm seat with a cover and removable cushions; beneath it sit a portable freezer, two cabinet doors on the inboard side, and a robust stainless-steel footrest.

Aft, a five-person U-shaped dining settee with removable cushions, a cover, and hinged storage beneath each seat faces a varnished teak table set on two stainless-steel pedestals, while across to starboard is an exactly matching six-person dining settee. Underfoot, a fiberglass non-skid sole adds surefooted confidence, all protected by a full hardtop over the helm and dining area and complemented by an FRP radar arch. Safety and clarity are enhanced by a stainless-steel handrail with a 3/8-inch Lexan windscreen, entertainment comes via four JL stereo speakers, and illumination is abundant with twenty-two overhead LED lights plus two aft-facing built-in quartz lights. Both teak dining tables operate on a slide mechanism that allows them to glide smoothly in and out to suit the moment.

Hardtop equipment

Poised atop the hardtop, a Furuno 4’ open array radar scanner delivers crisp, long-range awareness, while commanding Kahlenberg air horns announce your presence with unmistakable authority. A Hargrave-style FRP mast provides a robust platform for premium electronics, including a KVH TracVision system, and a Newmar hailer horn ensures clear, powerful communication when conditions demand.

Helm

Command with confidence from a Stidd helm chair with footrest, protected as needed by a console cover, while two CAT LED engine monitors and Glendinning electronic engine controls put precise power at your fingertips. Ahead, two Furuno TZT14 14-inch multi-function displays pair with a 64 nautical mile radar and a Furuno WS-200WX weather station for comprehensive situational awareness, complemented by two Furuno RD 33 data instruments and a Standard Horizon Quantum GX5500X VHF for clear communications. Course-keeping and depth insight are assured with a Furuno NavPilot 700 autopilot with 4.6-inch screen, a Furuno DFF1 black box sounder module, and a Furuno 50/200 kHz 600W transducer. Ride quality and maneuverability are refined by the Naiad MultiSea II Stabilizer Control and a Naiad bow thruster joy stick, while a Yacht controller JCS screen with joy stick further enhances fingertip handling. Essential functions are neatly arrayed, including windlass control, trim tab controls, two fuel tank gauges, engine start/stop controls, and a Seafire system override panel. Entertainment and safety are close at hand through a Fusion MS IP700i stereo control and an ACR spot light control, and critical systems are monitored via six bilge pump switches and GFCI outlets. The helm is finished with a substantial 24-inch stainless steel helm wheel and an accurate 5-inch magnetic compass, creating a professional-grade command center.

Boat deck

Purpose-built for open-air living, the boat deck features a fiberglass non-skid sole and is encircled by a stainless steel safety rail, with an additional stainless steel rail protecting the steps, themselves shielded by a sliding glass cover. Aft, two stainless steel sunshade poles support a removable shade cloth sunshade, creating an elegant retreat. An aft-facing FRP cabinet integrates a stainless steel sink, while to starboard an FRP cabinet offers four drawers, a refrigerator concealed behind an FRP door, and a dedicated storage cabinet for liquor bottles. Mirroring to port, a matching FRP cabinet houses a stainless steel Perlick wet ice icemaker, two storage cabinets, and a Fire Magic gas grill beneath a hinged FRP cover, with its stainless steel hood stowed in a forward bridge cabinet. Service is effortless with a quick-disconnect freshwater washdown, and deck readiness is assured by a set of jet ski chocks, tender chocks, and a Quick Lift 1,600 lb. davit on a pyramid base with hydraulic rotation, complemented by a stern flag socket. Easy access to the hardtop comes via a removable folding eight-step ladder, while Glendinning wired remote engine controls deliver precise maneuvering when and where you need it.

Crew area

Access is via a pantograph centerline FRP door on the transom, with two removable steps leading into the open crew area. Twin lower berths with two drawers below are separated by a three-drawer nightstand, while a fold-away Pullman berth above the forward berth accommodates a third crew member as needed. Over the aft berth, four cabinets and an RCA 18-inch TV provide smart storage and entertainment.

Across the centerline companionway, two full-size cedar-lined hanging lockers ensure ample wardrobe space.

The private head features a full-size Headhunter toilet, a two-door vanity with a marble countertop and undermount sink, and a two-door mirrored medicine cabinet. The stall shower is appointed with a clear glass bi-fold door, a seat, and a handheld or wall-mounted shower fixture.

Remarks

With low hours on her CAT C-18s, updated electronics, and what is perhaps the most spacious 76' yacht on the market, “QUIET SUN” stands apart from her sisterships. Her gel coat shines like new, her interior shows beautifully, and she is seriously for sale as a “trade-in” from a larger Hargrave.
