When you drive to Lake Pleasant and head out on the dock at Scorpion Bay Marina, you might notice the 80-foot yacht docked there. The V-Series yacht, custom-built by Arizona-based Bravada Yachts, is the first million-dollar houseboat on Lake Pleasant. 

"Team Bravada is excited to launch our latest design, the Atlas V-Series, in our own backyard at Lake Pleasant," said Principal, Robert Gutierrez. "We've worked hard to develop a team of the best framers, welders, fabricators, designers, engineers and a support staff that is laser-focused on innovation. Our goal was to create a hybrid of the sleek look of an ocean yacht, with all the comfort of a luxury houseboat." 

Bravada has delivered on that goal with this 80-foot beauty, named Upgrade. And this is quite the upgrade. It features a custom teak swim deck, fire pit, dual kitchen with Samsung appliances, and a 14-foot waterslide. Inside, the owners will enjoy floor-to-ceiling marble tile showers, electric fireplace, custom bedding and surround sound. No expense has been spared behind the scenes, either. Upgrade has an upgraded water filtration system, Volvo dual prop Diesel engine, Westerbeke generator, dual prop bow thruster and two jet ski winches. 

Bravada also has custom-built yachts on Bartlett, Havasu, Powell, Saguaro, and Roosevelt lakes. The company is taking orders for 2024. BravadaYachts.com
