Please Read Before Booking:
Hargrave Heritage is a classic 53’ Hatteras yacht offering an authentic nautical stay in a private marina. Staterooms and bathrooms are smaller than hotels, showers should be kept short, and drains may run slower — this is normal for yachts. On windy days, you may feel gentle movement even while securely moored.
Boarding is easy, but guests must use handrails when stepping on/off the yacht and when walking around the deck.
The marina is in a fantastic walkable area with restaurants, cafés, and shops nearby, Aventura Mall minutes away, and the beach just a 10–15 minute drive.
If you love unique stays, waterfront living, and a touch of adventure, you’ll love this experience.
