1989 Hylas 44 Boat in Vero Beach, FL 32967 US

1989 Hylas 44 - Completely Refit 2023 to 2025 Bluewater Cruiser

This isn't simply a well-maintained Hylas-it's a comprehensive bow-to-stern transformation of one of the most respected bluewater cruising sailboats ever built. Combining the legendary strength and seaworthiness of a 1989 Hylas with virtually every modern upgrade imaginable, this yacht offers the confidence of a classic offshore cruiser with the comfort, reliability, and technology of a much newer vessel.

From the bottom of the keel to the top of the mast, nearly every major system has been renewed or replaced. The result is a yacht that is practically brand new while retaining the robust construction and proven offshore pedigree that made the Hylas name legendary.

Power is provided by a new 57 HP Yanmar diesel engine, delivering dependable performance and outstanding fuel efficiency for coastal cruising or extended passagemaking. Electrical independence comes from a new Phasor 8 kW generator, complemented by a new high-output solar charging system that keeps your batteries charged whether you're underway or anchored in a secluded harbor.

Under sail, you'll appreciate the performance and confidence inspired by new Code Zero & Mack mainsail, while the new canvas package provides excellent protection from the elements and gives the yacht a crisp, modern appearance.

Step below, and you'll discover an interior that feels more like a contemporary yacht than a vessel built in 1989. The completely renewed interior offers updated finishes, exceptional comfort, and a warm, inviting atmosphere for extended cruising or liveaboard life.

Navigation and onboard management have been brought firmly into the modern era with all-new marine electronics, providing today's latest technology for navigation, communication, and vessel monitoring.

Your adventures don't stop at the anchorage. A new Highfield dinghy makes exploring shorelines, running errands, or enjoying remote beaches effortless.

This is the rare opportunity to own a yacht that combines the heavy-duty construction and offshore capability of a classic Hylas with the reliability and convenience of virtually all-new systems. The enormous investment in upgrades means years of worry-free cruising without the expense, downtime, and uncertainty of a major refit.

If you've been searching for a true bluewater cruiser that's ready to cross oceans tomorrow-not spend years in a boatyard-this exceptional Hylas 44 deserves your attention.

Built 1989 tough. Equipped for today's adventures. Ready for tomorrow's horizons.
