For owners looking to move up to a crewed-yachting experience, HMY currently has a 2005 Hargrave 96 Skylounge called Ossum Dream listed for $2.495 million. The 96-foot motoryacht features a variety of entertainment spaces, inside and out.

“Ossum Dream underwent a major interior refit in 2017, which has provided her with a fresh, modern, elegant and contemporary look. It’s perfect to enjoy the stunning Caribbean or US cruising,” says HMY Yachts. “The 96-foot Hargrave Motoryacht is an outstanding example of Hargrave’s capabilities, with the volume and facilities rarely found on vessels of 29 meters, giving the feel of a considerably more substantial platform.”

In traditional Hargrave style, the salon walls are high-gloss cherry with the cabinets and countertops inset with gloss camphor burl. The three-stool bar has white translucent Corian with a single piece matching floor behind. Stepping inside, there’s an L-shaped sofa to port and two lounge chairs to starboard, which create a comfortable lounge area for guests to relax and converse. Forward, the formal dining space includes a round high-gloss cherry table that seats up to eight people.

Past the forward bulkhead guests will find the open country galley with the U-shaped dinette forward under the raked windows. The galley can accommodate even the most demanding chef with an array of meal-prep appliances, with stainless steel appliances and accessories including:

GE Profile refrigerator
Miele cooktop
Manitowoc Ice maker
GE Profile oven
SubZero freezer drawer
Miele dishwasher
SubZero wine cooler
SubZero fridge drawer
GE disposal
Dacor warming drawer
Miele exhaust hood
GE Profile microwave

Ossum Dream’s salon has a conventional layout with an entertainment twist. Yes, the lounge area is abaft the formal dining; however, it’s not a sofa immediately when you walk in but rather a three-stool bar. Courtesy HMY Yachts

You can enter the skylounge via stairs to starboard inside or the open-air after section of the flybridge. The sky lounge, which is only the forward half of the flybridge, manages to pack a two-seat helm station forward and what is essentially a second salon lounge area abaft.

As nice as Ossum Dream’s interior is, the exterior is not to be overlooked. The after section of the flybridge alone has a four-stool bar, a grilling station, a hot tub and a U-shaped dinette. The cockpit is the go to spot for alfresco dining with the transom bench seat and fixed dining table, pull up a few loose chairs and fit as many as eight people.

Sleeping accommodations on board Ossum Dream include four well-appointed staterooms. Amidships, the full-beam master stateroom has a king berth, a built-in settee to starboard and a built-in desk to port. The forward VIP stateroom and the starboard guest cabin both have queen berths, and the final port cabin has convertible twin berths.
