Overview

1997 build Hylas 46 built by Queen Long Marine, Taiwan.

German Frers designed centre cockpit yacht equally at home blue water cruising or on shorter coastal hops with family and friends.
Sleeps up to five in two cabins plus saloon.

Only in her third ownership from new, this Hylas 46 has benefited from continuous upgrades and improvements to her inventory.
Having been extensively cruised offshore by a meticulous couple who have a deep love of their boat, this Hylas 46 is now for sale with an extremely comprehensive equipment list.

Amazing specification with ECH20-Tec watermaker, Raymarine navigation electronics and radar, solar panel, the list of improvements under the current ownership really is extensive along with spares for nearly everything.

This Hylas 46 is UK British Registered, was built to conform to European directives, has Category A “Ocean” rating and is fully UK VAT paid.

The owners have a recent survey for insurance purposes and had the boat extensively renovated when they purchased her in 2015. Each winter they try to store indoors wherever they were in the world from the Mediterranean to Sweden. In the event this wasn't possible there is a full all over cover for protection of this immaculate yacht.
