1999 Hylas 54 | 54ft

David Walters Yachts is pleased to offer this listing on behalf of Grand Soleil Brokerage

The Hylas 54 is a world-class bluewater cruiser designed by German Frers and built to exacting standards by Queen Long Marine. Renowned for her powerful performance, graceful lines, and offshore capabilities, the 54 remains one of the most sought-after sailing yachts in her class. With a long fin keel and skeg-hung rudder, she delivers excellent directional stability and sea-keeping, while her cutter rig provides a versatile and easily managed sail plan for short-handed crews. Her robust construction, including Twaron aramid fiber reinforcement and vinylester resins, ensures durability and confidence in demanding offshore conditions.

Below decks, the Hylas 54 impresses with a spacious and intelligently designed interior that balances liveaboard comfort with practical functionality. The three-cabin, two-head layout features a luxurious aft owner’s stateroom with a centerline queen berth, generous storage, and an en-suite head with separate shower. The saloon offers a bright and welcoming space for entertaining or relaxing, with finely crafted teak joinery and ample natural light. A well-appointed galley, forward-facing nav station, and numerous bluewater-ready details—such as deep lockers, sea berths, and secure handholds—make the Hylas 54 a proven choice for cruisers seeking comfort, safety, and elegance offshore.

ASIA is a rare find—a VAT-paid, Italian-flagged Hylas 54 currently berthed on the Adriatic Sea. Designed by German Frers and built by Queen Long Marine, the Hylas 54 is widely regarded as one of the finest bluewater cruising yachts in her class, offering exceptional offshore capability, refined styling, and a luxurious interior. With her cutter rig, long fin keel, and skeg-hung rudder, she is as comfortable crossing oceans as she is cruising the Med.

ASIA has just completed an extensive refit in 2023–2024, positioning her well ahead of her peers. Upgrades include a brand-new 12mm teak deck, all-new standing rigging, fresh white paint on mast and boom, and a fully serviced engine and generator. The hull and deck have been repainted, and the bottom was stripped and refinished with a new barrier coat and antifouling. Additional updates include a new propeller shaft, new stainless steel rubstrake, new nav and spreader lights, fresh bilge paint, new portlight frames, and new refrigeration. Diesel tanks have been professionally cleaned. Please note: brokerage commission is not included in the asking price.
