2021 Hylas 46

HYLANDER is an exceptionally well cared for and desirably equipped 2021 Hylas 46, the very last one built. Offered for sale by her original owners, this yacht has many incredible features and upgrades that make her ready for unlimited cruising. The Hylas 46 is one of German Frers' most successful designs built by one of the world's highest quality semi-custom yards; Queen Long Marine. 

The Hylas 46 has long been heralded by cruisers seeking the perfect balance of performance, comfort, and offshore capability and HYLANDER exemplifies everything that makes this model so revered.  

As renowned sailing author John Kretschmer puts it: "The Hylas 46 is built like a rock with first-rate gear...I have plenty of offshore miles on this model and wouldn't hesitate to take it anywhere."  

This center-cockpit design provides both a commanding view under sail and remarkable livability below, delivering the seaworthiness to cross oceans with confidence while maintaining the style and elegance for which Hylas yachts are known. Add in the upgraded 110HP Yanmar engine, and HYLANDER stands out as a truly turnkey cruiser equipped to tackle every adventure from coastal hopping to bluewater passagemaking.

Stepping below decks, you're greeted by Hylas's signature hand-finished teak joinery and intelligent use of space. The raised main salon windows flood the interior with natural light, while the satin-varnished teak and light holly inlay on the cabin soles highlight the meticulous craftsmanship. Every detail has been thoughtfully engineered for both function and sophistication. Whether you're lounging in the spacious owner's stateroom, cooking in the well-appointed galley, or settling in for a peaceful evening at anchor, HYLANDER ensures your cruising experience is one of luxury, safety, and pure sailing pleasure.
