About this property

Stay Aboard a Vintage Hatteras 53' Motor Yacht in Aventura-A Unique Experience!

Welcome aboard Hargrave Heritage, a beautifully maintained 1978 Hatteras Motor Yacht—one of the most iconic yacht designs ever produced.

As this vintage yacht is from 1970's era the guests from that era are most welcome to experience a stay in Hargrave Heritage and refresh their memories.

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.
