SUE CAROLYN
SUE CAROLYN is a standout example of Hargrave’s custom craftsmanship, offered for sale following a
comprehensive refit led by an experienced owner-captain team. Originally built for a client with
specific accessibility needs, this motor yacht integrates practical modifications, most notably an
internal elevator between the master suite and sky lounge, offering a level of convenience rarely
seen in this size range. The result is a vessel that prioritises access and comfort without
sacrificing performance or design integrity.
Key Features
- Interior elevator between master suite and upper deck
- Additional accessibility features, including wide doorways, adapted day heads, and a purpose-built hydraulic wheelchair lift system
- A draft of 1.9m (6’3”) for cruising in shallow waters
- Recently completed six-month refit including engine room restoration, new air conditioning, Starlink and upgraded systems throughout.
Exterior
Smart Upgrades, Inside and Out
- SUE CAROLYN underwent multiple upgrades during a six-month refit, including new teak decking on the aft deck and the installation of an adjustable sunshade system. Dual-color underwater lights and decorative lighting enhance evening ambiance, while upgraded courtesy lighting improves visibility throughout. Seating areas are protected by custom canvas covers, and custom-fabricated boarding stairs aid embarkation. Wide, wraparound side decks allow for smooth circulation around the vessel, with four boarding gates and a swim platform.
Interior
Accessible By Design
- Her interior has been thoughtfully designed around accessibility, most notably with the addition of an elevator connecting the master suite to the sky lounge, a feature almost unheard of on a yacht of this size. The sky lounge itself offers near 360-degree views, while wide doorways, specially adapted day heads on both levels, and master head with extra-wide doors offer ease of movement throughout. The interior features rich cherry and burl wood finishes, now complemented by recent refit updates including new carpeting, upgraded LED ambient lighting, and a redesigned main salon with leather recliners and custom bar furniture.
Accommodation Comfort on Every Level
- SUE CAROLYN accommodates up to eight guests in four cabins, all situated on the lower deck. The wheelchair-accessible master suite is complemented by a VIP cabin and two twins. Flat panel displays are installed in every cabin, including the crew quarters, ensuring that entertainment and information systems are easily accessible throughout.
Technical
Refit, Renewed, Ready to Cruise
- As part of her recent refit work, SUE CAROLYN underwent a complete engine room restoration, with Caterpillar engines and generators serviced to manufacturer specifications, alongside renewed exhaust systems, shaft and propeller optimization, cutlass bearing replacements, selective through-hull renewals, and a fully serviced bow thruster. Additional upgrades included a new integrated yacht management controller, fully upgraded air conditioning system, and Starlink installation.
