Award-Winning Bill Dixon Bluewater Cruiser with Superyacht-Level Care
NO RETREAT is hull #2 of the Hylas 57, designed by Bill Dixon and built by Queen Long Marine, the long-standing builder behind Hylas Yachts. She represents the modern evolution of the Hylas bluewater center-cockpit concept: a vacuum-infused composite hull with twin rudders, bow and stern watertight bulkheads, a shoal-draft lead keel, and the systems redundancy expected of a serious passagemaker.
The Hylas 57 was developed to be handled confidently by a cruising couple while still delivering the volume, light, and comfort of a much larger yacht. NO RETREAT takes that design brief further with hydraulic furling working sails, Harken 60 Rewind electric primary winches, dual helm stations, proportional bow and stern thrusters, Raymarine navigation at the helms and nav station, Starlink Gen3, Sonos entertainment, and a robust 24V electrical platform.
Below decks, NO RETREAT has the bright, contemporary raised-saloon feel that defines the newer generation of Hylas interiors. European white oak cabinetry, parquet sole, large hull windows, soft LED lighting, Dometic air conditioning, a full-beam aft owner's suite, forward VIP cabin, over/under guest cabin, two heads with separate stall showers, an open galley, and excellent machinery access make her a true liveaboard cruising platform.
The seller is the past owner of a 120-foot sailing yacht and is accustomed to superyacht-level maintenance standards. Under his stewardship, NO RETREAT has benefited from thoughtful servicing and care, including fresh bottom paint in Fall 2025 and Semco-sealed teak decks. For buyers seeking a near-new, fully equipped bluewater cruiser without the wait of a new build, NO RETREAT deserves serious attention.

NO RETREAT’s interior is one of the defining strengths of the Hylas 57. The raised-saloon configuration, wraparound windows, oversized hull ports, and full 17-foot beam create a bright, modern space that feels open without sacrificing offshore practicality. The layout is particularly well suited for a couple planning extended cruising with family or guests: a full-beam owner’s suite aft, a forward VIP stateroom, a starboard guest cabin with over/under berths, and two heads with separate stall showers.

BROKER’S COMMENTS
NO RETREAT is one of the most compelling Hylas 57 offerings because she combines the best attributes of the modern Dixon-designed Hylas generation with a notably high level of care. The H57 is already an award-winning, owner-operator bluewater platform: manageable by a couple, powerful enough for serious passagemaking, and modern enough below decks to feel contemporary rather than traditional.
The difference aboard NO RETREAT is the specification and stewardship. Hydraulic furling North Sails, Harken Rewind winches, twin helms, proportional thrusters, dual autopilot-drive capability, watertight bulkheads, watermaker, generator, Starlink, Sonos, hardtop, cockpit enclosure, hydraulic swim platform, and extensive monitoring systems create a yacht that checks the right boxes for modern offshore ownership.
For a buyer seeking a near-new Hylas 57 without the new-build wait, NO RETREAT presents a rare opportunity. She is shoal-draft, offshore-ready, Bahamas- and ICW-friendly, and equipped for a couple or family who wants to cruise in comfort while retaining the seakindliness and build quality for which Hylas is known.
