IMMACULATE LUXURY. FLAWLESS PERFORMANCE.

This 2011 Hylas 56 “ Manuela” has had ONE owner, a seasoned and well-traveled yachtsman who was deeply involved in the boat specifications and modifications based on his extensive experience and personally oversaw the implementation of all upgrades and enhancements. The owner has maintained the boat to professional standards since new.

At first glance, its immediately apparent that this Hylas 56 is no ordinary boat; from the drawing boards of the legendaryGermán Frers design team , Manuela is a high-performance, highly functional, cruising marvel that exceeds the expectations of even the most experienced sailors.

Outside

From the large, safe, and comfortable cockpit, the boat was tailored to be handled by two people. Electric primary winches, well placed secondaries, low profile pedestal, navigation controls, Lewmar-Whitlock Mamba Steering System, and bow thrusters deliver control confidence under any condition. Deep cockpit seats, custom dodger and Bimini, pedestal table, and deck lighting, make for the perfect spot to relax and entertain while resting on the hook.

Topside, the GMT Carbon PowerFurl boom, electric rolling furling, and thoughtfully placed line controls makes sail handling and trimming a snap. Wide side decks and toe rails finished in teak, paired with polished stainless stanchions, allows for safe and easy movement while underway.

Interior Spaces

Below deck, the interior is a sanctuary of luxury and comfort. Warm teak accents create an atmosphere of traditional elegance. The large lateral windows provide generous natural light in the spacious salon. Spacious seating welcomes guest to gather and relax. The fully equipped galley, with a large double sink, oven, dishwasher, and freezer, provides room for two people to work. System controls are easily managed from the large and thoughtfully designed nav station. The ability to inspect the engine compartment is made easy from the galley and companion way. 

Cabins

Owners and guest can retire in comfort to anyone of the three climate-controlled cabins. The spacious ensuite master offers privacy, generous storage and multiple ports for natural light and ventilation. A generous VIP cabin is found forward, with a private entrance to a shared head. A washer and dryer are tucked under the large bed. The third cabin is the perfect passage space for guest and children.

In every detail, from the spotless deck to the thoughtfully designed upgrades, this meticulously maintained, high-performance yacht stands as a testament to the owner's unwavering pursuit of excellence. It's not just a vessel; it's a statement of dedication to the art of sailing and the thrill of the open sea. Built by the legendary craftsmen at Queen Long Marine, this Hylas 56RS yacht is an exceptional value.

A recent refit has elevated this boat to a new level of excellence.
