Since 2019, Hylas Yachts and David Walters Yachts have worked together to provide a solution for existing yacht owners looking to transition into a new build Hylas. The "Trade Up Program" has proven to be a successful means of making the reality of new boat ownership possible while minimizing the challenges of selling an existing yacht.

A Very Special Offering

On this occasion, Hull #03 of the award dominating Hylas H57 line, S/V Meraki, is being commissioned in Fort Lauderdale at the Hylas Sales and Service Center. This spectacular yacht has many extraordinary upgrades and will be available for viewing at the Miami International Boat Show in February 2023.

In the meantime, Meraki's owner is transitioning from his existing Hylas H54, Epsilon, which many Hylas owners may recognize as the former Vanishing Point previously owned by fellow Hylas H57 owners David Crafa and Peggy Huang, COO of Hylas Yachts. In the current owner's care, Epsilon has received over $100k worth of new electronics and electrical upgrades completed within the past 6 months. The yacht has also recently been surveyed with findings addressed and made ready for its next owner.

This is a special targeted offering to Hylas enthusiasts which will extend to the public domain at the start of the Newport International Boat Show (September 15th). For those seeking an exceptional and highly outfitted Hylas, Epsilon is exactly the boat to consider.

With the owners of the new Hylas H57 nearing the final stages of commissioning and in anticipation of the Fall boat show season, the asking price has been set aggressively to $495,000.

Interested individuals are encouraged to reach out to Kevin Wensley, , 239.738.8742 or contact Josh McLean with David Walters Yachts, 616.204.9658 for more details.

We look forward to seeing you at the boat shows!
