Owner Experience Review

Owners gravitate to the SKyloungefromHARGRAVE CUSTOM YACHTSfor family and multi‑generation cruising, where the enclosed skylounge becomes the year‑round hub for gatherings. The climate‑controlled space with uninterrupted sightlines works as well for weekend entertaining—owners regularly host larger groups there—as it does for occasional private charter. Common owner choices include an on‑deck master and roomy social areas; the galley and salon layouts are often praised as practical for everyday family use, and some owners even commission extended skylounge arrangements to better serve multi‑gen routines.

Underway, reports point to a deep‑V hull with Naiad stabilizers that tracks straight and rides comfortably, with the stabilizers taking the edge off roll at cruise. Broker and owner writeups typically cite an economical cruise band around 14–19 knots, with many owners settling near 18 knots and top speeds in the low 20s depending on the specific build and engines. An owner‑captain running a 94' Capri Skylounge built in 2006 described it as “as solid as a boat that I have ran,” reflecting the platform’s confident feel when properly set up and maintained.

Owners do note a few realities. At anchor, some narrower‑beamed stretched hulls can rock and roll more than wider contemporary designs. Noise control in the skylounge has drawn compliments—one sea‑trial comment noted the engines were “practically unnoticeable.” On the maintenance front, older examples may show gelcoat/paint and hardtop/combing cracking that can require recurring cosmetic work. Surveys sometimes flag steering components needing backing plates or attention, and many used skylounge boats show recent refit work on running gear and stabilizers, including hydraulic and steering hoses, steering coolers, and sea‑valve replacements.

Pros and Cons

• Enclosed skylounge delivers year‑round, climate‑controlled entertaining with uninterrupted sightlines and space for larger groups.
• Deep‑V hull with Naiad stabilizers tracks straight and rides comfortably, with stabilizers reducing roll at cruise.
• Suits owner‑operator long‑range and live‑aboard use thanks to large fuel capacity and generous accommodations.
• Some narrower‑beamed stretched hulls tend to rock and roll at anchor more than wider contemporary designs.
• Older boats often show gelcoat/paint and hardtop/combing cracking that can require recurring cosmetic work.
• Surveys and refit histories frequently note steering and running‑gear/stabilizer service needs such as hoses, coolers, and sea‑valves.
