I was thinking the opposite! The salon is the shabbiest thing in the whole boat ☹️ Well designed functionally, but spartan and basic and lacking in aesthetics.
Beautiful but I think I miss the cozy curved sitting spaces of the smaller Hylas boats. Those curved settees somehow made for such an intimate conversation and dining area.
Well, this beast is a suprême beauty!!! Incredible design and building. Probably around 2 millions dollars... only for the Wall Street , bankers, etc,...
I got to tell you I really appreciate how much living and social space one can add to your yacht, by lowering the ceiling height in the sleeping quarters in the front. Super super clever it's like having some extra magic space only found at Hogwarts. I imagine there was a lot of discussion but in the end no one sleeps, standing up. Very clever. I might as well just comment also on that Motel 6 comment. That's a matter of opinion. I've been looking at a lot of interior's lately and this is one of my favorites. My old company was to repair 40 ft RVs and my biggest complaint is so many pricey yacht Interiors, look too similar to RV Interiors. Yours absolutely does not, it looks wonderful! Finally after repairing miles and miles of electrical line for the past 30 years, 100% I love that pannle! I wouldn't have it any other way. It just makes me so comfortable staring at that thing. It's almost like if I was blind I could just have my kid next to me read the labels, and I could still fix the electrical headache. Great job guys!
I REALLY like this video. First, I like this guy. Unlike the vast majority of his compatriots he can actually speak English. Very few, if any, "uhm" and "like". NO idiotic use of long words that is such a popular "intelligence crutch" in America, like "refrigeration" instead of "refrigerator" or "navigatorium" (yes, YOU, Sue Grant!). He doesn't try to sell his boat at any cost and, while he mentions major features, he also admits other boats have them as well. If you listen to other reviwers of other brands, HELL, even a helm is a revolutionary novelty they invented. (Yes, I'm talking about YOU, Mr. Sheahan and Oyster Yachts?) AND he actually THOUGHT about what he was going to say in this video. Very nice, concise narration. I wish he explained who "Bill" is that he mentions all the time, but I suspect that's the owner of the company or the designer of the boat. THE BOAT I really like. The hardtop and retractable shade is a good idea, the sliding windows are NOT. They will get stuck in those tracks all the time. Two autohelms is a good idea, except those things cost an arm and a leg. I remember the ancient Autohelm 5000 was around 3 grand. How much modern ones cost I don't even want to think about. I really like the forward helms. HATE hanging off the transom to steer. (Yes, YOU, pretty much everyone.) The fully duplicated controls are GREAT! It's REALLY annoying to have to run across the deck when docking in a tight marina (hello, Greece). If I was to think of one drawback, I would make them NOT mirror but actually a full copy with the throttle controls on the right on BOTH sides. But good idea even as it is. So, thank you for this review and hope it sells well and you keep your job, dear sir. 🙂
Lol, Bill Dixon is one of the most famous yacht designers out there and the reason they are not mentioning his last name is that every potential buyer for this kind of yacht would know it. Also, I doubt the two autopilots at 7k each is whats going to break the bank on a $2,5 million boat...
@@BilldalSWE I'm a "potential buyer of this kind of yacht" but I have no idea who Bill Dixon is. As for the price you are forgetting one important thing. With yachts, 2.5 million will be 500k VERY soon. Want a link to a 50k euro Amel 54? And THEN it will be a problem.
@@Maloy7800 No you're not lol. No one shops in this segment over regular production boats at less than half the price if you don't know something about the business and the people that work in it. Or at least make an effort (aka spend 5min on google) to learn something about them. Also, 2,5 million is not going to be 500k VERY soon for high quality boats with small, limited production runs. As an example a 2007 Hallberg Rassy 54 (so 17 years old) is 700k-900k today and was sold for 1 million euro when new. Even With inflation it's still 65% of the new price. And yes please link me an Amel 54 for 50k... I think you mean 500k, lol. Also, the thing with 2 autopilots is you don't have to replace both of them 15-20 years down the line if they break. You can replace one and cruise with one like you wanted in the first place. Or you can just buy used ones for a fraction of the price.
Hi from Germany, a friend told me about US designs. Thanks for this impression in your movie, it is a great and pretty nice concept of your yard, sadly it is not much popular over here in Europe, but i will do my part for share this movie and make you more popular over here. My opinion from far? You have a great design concept, specially the scene with the electric equickment, a really nice work, let comes up trusting in, Hylas is investing much into the building quality. Nice to meet you and best wishes for all comming projects, you won a new fan Sir´s!
I was on one 25 years ago. The screws in the toe rails were rusting because they had a different ion potential from the plate they were screwed directly into. In addition it was delivered so that it would only go forward if you selected reverse.
I'm with ya buddy, she is beautiful, 👁 thank 😇 🥰 ❤️🔥 for he is good all the time, Amen & Amen. This would be the yacht 👁 could see traveling in with like minded servents of the Lord my 😇.
WOW, a truly beautiful yacht, outstanding, what about training on maintenence? 👁🙏😇🥰❤️🔥🌎 🤲 🙌 U and the detail to perfection, 👏 God Almighty 👁 🙌 you with healthy long life, thank you each & every one Amen & Amen.
I would love to know if any of these yachts have a system where either the prop or something like a prop turns a generator that recharges the lithiums while under sail. Essential a “hybrid” yacht.
Love the walkthroughs but really would be nice to have specs. Range under power? Capacities? Don't tell me that there is not a watermaker. Max speed under sail...etc.? How much of that party aft deck is taken up by the dinghy that you will have?? Oh, yeah. Price??
Hylas was even at the Newport boat show in 2022, so I wonder how they won an award at a show they weren't present for... ( I live in RI and I was there).
Really lovely yacht. A couple of questions though. Moving around the salon in heavy weather looks a little risky. Didn't see any handholds anywhere in the middle at all. Your views on this would be appreciated. Secondly, the owners cabin bed looks quite small (might be because of the camera used). Just how wide is it? How much total power do the Lithium batteries supply and is there an upgrade in terms capacity. Same question for the solar panels. Thank you 👍
plenty of handholds in the salon. aft cabin berth width is 61". std li-fo battery capacity is 660ah with the option to go up to 990ah. solar is about 1200w.
I always wonder; you buy this boat, do you have the option to have classes/support on taking care of it? the hull, the engine, the electronics -- it's a lot even for a reasonably experienced sailor to know all this stuff. does Hylas offer a Hylas customer support package?
What?? Are you kidding?? If you have a very fat pocket for this yacht, you have plenty of money to pay for the maintenance. I don’t think for a second an owner of this magnitude would care a bout the mundane maintenance of it. They PAY for it.
If I'm in the middle of the Pacific and something goes wrong with my boat, I'd also like to know how it operates so I could do some level of diagnostics and repair myself. My life may very well depend on it.
I just dug deep with this video. As an Electrical Engineer and many industrial system designs behind my belt I'd have to say your electrical panels are neat but lacking, there are no wire labels that I saw anyway. I should be able to see that wire label and be able to determine the section, page number and line that terminal is on in the prints. Very important in case a wire comes loose or a catastrophe event happens. I"ve experienced trouble shooting third party systems where the prints and wire labels were not accurate, talk about a nightmare, Imagine that issue underway.
OK what if a couple wire come loose from the terminals? There are no wire labels on the wires! I design and build control systems, there is defiantly room for improvement. Otherwise nice boat.
Nice electrical panel but I saw no wire labels? Can't tell you how many times I have gone into a panel and wires have worked themselves loose from their terminals. No label no idea which terminal they belong to. Plus during trouble shooting a wire number should correspond to a page in the prints to reference. Might want to pass that along. The chief engineer/skipper will appreciate that.
Great yacht design overall, though fixtures, decor, and interior decoration are too spartan and basic. Needs a heavy infusion of luxury. Does the yacht have its own freshwater production system?
I reckon you guys quite close but not yet! If I were you just rid of one of helm! bring another one as front as possible! Cover around just like a bus but all window auto winding except front !small kitchen back solid top means lots of solar panels fishing and swim platform... etc racking roll! cheers!
The older Hylas interiors were SO much prettier and nautical. Those were yachts! This is nice for a mid-level hotel suite, but it does not favorably compare to the elegance of its predecessors. This interior looks like a Beneteau or any other blonde wood Ikea/French crap production boat. The cushions are squarish and the open continuous shelves behind the seating are not going to hold anything in place if you actually go sailing. Where are the overhead handholds for when the boat is healing? This would be a great showpiece for your nonnautical business guests in a calm anchorage, tied up to a dock or motoring in windless flat water, but it is not designed well for actually sailing somewhere unless of course one prefers to crawl along the cabin sole where it's safe from being tossed about. Also, the main salon is a greenhouse. The ports face skyward, or rather sunward. Where is the ventilation? I didn't see any dorades so if it is raining or spray is coming over the bow, you are not going to open any cabin ports and shucks the salon doesn't even have any opening ports. This is a closed box with a lot of skylights. Hope you like saunas. There is only one opening port in the galley and it's not even over the oven?????????????? My god people, what were you thinking? If this boat is going to go to the Bahamas, the South Pacific or any other tropical paradises, the AC darn well better work 100% of the time. I do like the exterior. Nice lines.
For a boat of this size and price, I would want to have the very nautical, traditionally, gorgeous Hylas interior that looks like a yacht and not like a Motel Six Benateau. I would also add a Bimini extension from the very desirable hard top to protect the single wheel helm station when you would want to directly control the boat in heavier weather. It is a very pretty boat, but for a cruising couple or family, I want a yacht that doesn't require an onboard engineer to maintain and keep it running when hydraulics and electronics fail, which they according to Murphy's Law they will and at the worst possible moment. And just so you know, I am a huge fan of Hylas, up to the 56. This one not so much.
I saw it at Annapolis last year, and I prefer the older Hylas interiors; much better ventilation as well. I thought the Passport 615 was more to my liking. The hard top is great, but the helm unprotected, and far from the cockpit, are a significant turn off.
@@lisaoakley8032 Yes Ma'am! Well said. I suspect Hylas, being a customizable yacht, that a traditional Hylas interior could be installed if one had the 57 built instead of buying one pre-made. Also, a couple of things I do not understand about sailboat manufacturers. I think it was Hunter that first came up with the scoop transom. A brilliant idea and copied by most modern boat designers and builders. A smart, practical choice. Amel came up with the superbly brilliant idea of putting the helm station forward in the cockpit, against the cabin bulkhead, thus providing a SAFE!!!, comfortable, useable, weather friendly place to sail the boat under all conditions. Why doesn't a builder of magnificent yachts like Hylas, do the same? It makes so much sense. Lastly, for now at least, why do boat builders think that the main recreational activity on a yacht is eating? Seating 10 people around a boat designed to comfortably carrying four or even six residents is a waste of space, not to mention duplicating that capacity in the main salon. The cockpit should be for sailing, fishing, lounging, sightseeing, maintenance and other outdoor activities.
Jesus Chris monkey balls! Its kewl! Kewl buuuuuut not as cool at the Garcia 60 Expo, in my humble opinion. However slap in a hybrid motoring system and i might change my mind a little.
A view from the UK. 58secs in, what did he say or going on about, the hulls made of foam? I've watched it 6 times and still don't know. What the Sam Hill is a 'cored hull'? Closed cell, divinacell foam, what's that? Kev, i think think you should reassess your target audience and their boatbuilding knowledge. There's one or two of us haven't been on the course. And while i'm 'critiquing, would you please get rid of the old anachronistic title like 'Stateroom' as in 'VIP Guest Stateroom' C'mon, they're just cabins or bedrooms these days, nobody's impressed. We're not an an 120mtr Lursson superyacht.
Yeah you keep her cool on the li batteries for 8hrs without the generator. Then get more fuel to fill the generator to recharge the batteries. Horseshit system.
It's a big house that you can go anywhere in the world on, whenever you wish. Its a lot of money but s***, imagine the fulfilling life you could have. I'm talking every single day, living a dream. In that sense maybe you can't put a price on that. It's a dream. It's a shame only a minority will ever experience it, so of course I wish things could be more equal but the worlds f***ed. Enjoy the eye candy when haven't got the coin.

Wow .bill dixon delivered here.so spacious and airy .really enjoyed the tour .
One of the best yacht reviews ever! You did a wonderful job- very professional, thorough and persuasive.
Stunning.... beautiful innovation combined with modern design.
Just a stunning yacht inside and out.
Thanks Kevin for this great video, I hope to see this boat in person soon.

In boating we don’t park. We dock.

I do like the exterior. Nice lines.
Why a dark sail? I can imagine touching it vs. a white one being a bit more unpleasant
Fashion and trendy.
For a boat of this size and price, I would want to have the very nautical, traditionally, gorgeous Hylas interior that looks like a yacht and not like a Motel Six Benateau.

2 milion is a joke😂
It's a big house that you can go anywhere in the world on, whenever you wish. Its a lot of money but s***, imagine the fulfilling life you could have. I'm talking every single day, living a dream. In that sense maybe you can't put a price on that. It's a dream. It's a shame only a minority will ever experience it, so of course I wish things could be more equal but the worlds f***ed. Enjoy the eye candy when haven't got the coin.
well they're selling them, so....
