The Dixon Hylas H48 was precisely engineered for strength and reliability to satisfy even the most demanding buyer. This stately yacht is powerful but graceful which includes sleek raised saloon windows for easy viewing, the choice of two or three cabins and a large center cockpit vessel that will impress any guest. The Hylas H48 offers premium quality and handcrafted details that make this luxury yacht stand in a class of its own
This luxurious yacht is loaded with conveniences that make handling her effortless even when short handed. With the Germán Frers eye for performance the Hylas H60 will make short-work of even the longest passages. The H60 adopts innovative design and construction techniques to bring broader appeal to a well established brand. We are excited to continue our long partnership with world class designer Germán Frers, once again testing the boundaries of performance, functionality and quality for bluewater cruising yachts. Being built at the Hylas Yard she also keeps our reputation for great value very much intact. The flowing lines of the hydrodynamic hull design offer comfort and speed during cross-ocean passages. The bulbed fin keel ensures leeway (Side slip) is reduced and stiffens the yacht allowing her to carry the sail area the tall rig allows (Air draft 92’). The spade twin rudders minimize upwind sailing angles and provide the best traction when heeled. The wrap-around window, over-sized port lights and a full 17’3″ beam that carries well aft creates a Superyacht sense of space and comfort. Working closely with the Italian interior design team Hot Lab this yacht oozes style from stem to stern. Three or four cabin layouts are available. The Hylas touch comes to the for with wood type, grain direction, cabinetry design and facings options. Numerous color and texture choices for seats, surfaces and liners are available. Every Hylas interior is slightly different with unique features.
This sleek and spacious yacht will exceed all your expectations, without sacrificing comfort or performance. Built by Robertson & Caine and designed by Naval Architects, Simonis & Voogd, this mid-size catamaran features three private staterooms, each with its own en-suite bath.
