The Hylas 57 is a modern bluewater passagemaker that combines Bill Dixon’s performance hull with Hylas’ renowned craftsmanship. Designed for effortless handling by a couple and capable of 200+ mile days, her Solent-rigged sailplan, hydraulic furling, and electric winches deliver power and control with ease—all from the safety of the cockpit or either helm station. Upwind under main and self-tacking jib, her VMG will impress, while a flick of the helm completes each tack with remarkable simplicity. Twin rudders ensure balance offshore, and a bow thruster (with stern thruster option) plus mirrored helm stations provide precision in any conditions. True to her pedigree, the Hylas 57 is built to handle heavy weather confidently, yet she performs with equal grace in light airs. Downwind passages are easily managed with furling genoa or an asymmetric spinnaker on a top-down furler.
This yacht is outfitted with lithium batteries (expandable to 820Ah) enabling silent overnight air conditioning, a Northern Lights 9kW generator, Spectra watermaker, solar, and a full Raymarine navigation suite with FLIR thermal cameras for safety and situational awareness. Her hydraulic swim platform, expandable aft deck, and wide, uncluttered decks extend her livability at sea or at anchor.
Below deck, wrap-around windows, panoramic portlights, and a 17’ beam create a sense of space unmatched in her class. The full-beam master stateroom, walk-through galley, and ensuite heads combine luxury and practicality for extended cruising.
With more than 5,000 offshore miles aboard this design, this broker brings firsthand knowledge of her systems, performance, and comforts. You will not find a production yacht today built to this standard: every electrical component is fully labeled, every hose and thru-hull clearly marked, and all systems installed with serviceability in mind. The Hylas 57 is built for a lifetime. She represents one of the finest blends of innovation, seaworthiness, and luxury in modern yacht design.
Best of all, unlike most builders, we have new Hylas 57 inventory available right now—no waiting years for delivery. US import duties are already included in the asking price, making her an exceptional value for American buyers. If your dream is to go farther, faster, safer, and in greater comfort, the Hylas 57 is ready to take you there. Let’s talk about making her yours today.
