The 120 Raised Pilothouse brings a named designer to the Hargrave range. Patrizio Facheris, known for a clean Italian hand, has drawn a 120-foot raised pilothouse that reads as more European than the yard’s heritage might suggest, while the engineering stays firmly American. The hull is carbon-reinforced E-glass epoxy composite, a construction that keeps weight down and lets the yacht carry its volume high without penalty.
The numbers tell a clear story. Twin Caterpillar C32 engines of 1,900 horsepower each push her to 21.5 knots, a genuinely fast figure for a raised pilothouse of this size, and the composite hull is central to that performance. Accommodation is set for twelve guests with a crew of seven, and at roughly 325 gross tons she offers the deck volume of a far heavier yacht.
A raised pilothouse layout gives the owner a full-beam main deck, with the helm lifted forward and up so the social spaces run uninterrupted. As with every Hargrave, the interior is open to the owner, so the Facheris exterior can be matched to a bespoke arrangement below. For a buyer who wants Italian styling, composite speed and the flexibility of a custom build without crossing the Atlantic, the 120 is a considered answer. She shows how far Hargrave has pushed its design partnerships while keeping the hands-on process that defines the yard.

Speed is the Facheris 120’s calling card. Twin Caterpillar C32 engines, each delivering 1,900 horsepower, drive the composite hull to 21.5 knots, a figure that places her among the quicker raised pilothouse yachts of her size. The carbon-reinforced E-glass epoxy construction is the reason: less weight to move means more of that power reaches the water as speed rather than drag. Range at a sensible cruise is quoted at 945 nautical miles, suited to coastal and island hopping rather than ocean crossings, which fits the yacht’s character. A shallow 1.85-metre draft widens the choice of anchorages and marinas, a practical advantage in the Mediterranean and the Bahamas alike. For an owner who wants to arrive quickly and still enjoy the room of a 120-footer, the performance package is unusually well balanced.
This is where Patrizio Facheris earns his billing. The 120 carries a crisp, contemporary profile, with long horizontal glazing, a taut sheer and a raised pilothouse that is integrated rather than stacked on top. The styling leans Italian, clean surfaces and restrained detailing, yet it sits on a hull built in Florida to Hargrave standards. Deck space is generous for the length, with a foredeck lounge, wide side decks and an aft arrangement that steps toward the water. The composite construction allows slimmer structural sections, which keeps the superstructure light and the lines sharp. The result is a yacht that would not look out of place on a European quay, drawn by a designer whose name travels with the boat.
The raised pilothouse layout is the key to how the 120 lives. Lifting the helm forward and up frees the main deck for a full-beam owner and social arrangement, so the interior volume is used for living rather than driving. Twelve guests are accommodated, and the exact cabin mix is set with the owner during the build, in keeping with Hargrave practice. Composite construction and roughly 325 gross tons give the designer real height and width to work with, so ceilings feel generous and natural light reaches deep into the saloon. Materials and finish are specified to brief, which means the Facheris exterior can sit above an interior tuned entirely to the owner’s taste. For buyers who value a bespoke layout, the 120 offers the volume to deliver it.
A raised pilothouse yacht is built around its main deck, and the 120 uses that advantage well. With the helm set forward, the saloon and dining area run clean across the beam, flowing out to a shaded aft deck for open-air meals. The flybridge above adds a second social level, with room for sun pads, a bar and a tender or toys, and the foredeck gives a quieter spot away from the action. A crew of seven services the yacht from dedicated spaces that keep guest areas undisturbed. The 21.5-knot hull means the group can move between anchorages quickly, turning the yacht into a fast base for a cruising party rather than a slow one. Entertaining and passage-making sit comfortably together here.
The 120 is built in Fort Lauderdale around a carbon-reinforced E-glass epoxy composite hull, a specification that signals where Hargrave is taking the range. Twin Caterpillar C32 mains, a shallow draft and a light, stiff structure define the engineering, and the Facheris exterior gives the yacht a design identity that holds its value. Ownership follows the Hargrave model: direct access to the yard, an interior shaped to the owner and American build support close to the main US cruising grounds. For a buyer comparing her with European composite yachts, the 120 offers similar technology and styling with a shorter line to the builder. Priced on application and open to customisation, the Facheris 120 is one of the more complete arguments in the current Hargrave lineup.
