ARRIVAL S BY RANDY WOODS
2022 Hampton Endurance 750-26 With a stunning skylounge, an abundance of luxurious amenities, and a spacious design, the new Endurance 750-26 from Hampton Yacht Group is ready to make her grand debut.
Newly arrived to Seattle, the 26th hull of Hampton Yachts’ 750 Endurance has ample space for entertaining day trips and extended cruising with luxurious accommodations—four staterooms and six heads. First seen in the Bell Harbor Marina during the Seattle Boat Show, the latest 750 includes an upgraded interior décor package from Pacific Custom Interiors, featuring Makore cherry paneling, granite and Corian countertops, and imported fabrics throughout. Designed by naval architect Howard Apollonio, the Endurance’s split-chine hybrid hull offers extra stability and premium performance, even at high speeds achieved via the twin Caterpillar C-18 direct-drive inboards, which produce a combined 2,272 horsepower. The enclosed skylounge up top has a large dining table, an L-shaped dinette settee, a Webasto sunroof, and an aft day head to starboard. Aft of the lounge, the open deck has room for a 15-foot tender. The centerline helm station is equipped with a complete Garmin navigation package, hydraulic power steering, a SeaTorque propulsion system, two Pompanette helm chairs, and a captain’s desk. A starboard stairway leads down to the main deck with an open-design galley, providing unobstructed views all the way to the aft-deck settee. The space is equipped with GE appliances, 38
such as a trash compactor, refrigerator, four-burner electric cooktop, 24” oven, microwave, dishwasher, and garbage disposal. Just aft of the galley is a custom table for up to eight people. Aft of the dining table, the elegant, carpeted salon and bar area is a great place to spread out and relax. Inside the entertainment center is a 49” LED HDTV with a Bose sound bar. The décor package for the Endurance includes an adjustable hi-lo table, two barrel-style chairs, and an L-shaped sofa. Belowdecks, the full-beam owner’s stateroom has a king-size bed, cedar-lined hanging lockers, a 42” LED TV, a stereo CD/ DVD system, and four speakers. The master head features marble countertops, a double sink, and a large shower stall with a Grohe faucet. The VIP stateroom has an island berth and a similarly appointed en suite head and shower stall, while the mid-guest stateroom has a double bed and an en suite head. The aft deck, accessible through a transom door, features a wide swim platform, a shower unit, and access to another day head. Port and starboard wing stations include engine and hydraulic thruster controls and a reverse-image video camera. A cruising settee and teak table, with a built-in refrigerator and 32” TV, provide extra seating space for guests under the overhanging skylounge deck.
