Explore the Largest Selection of Pre-Owned Hylas Yachts - Meet the Experts & Owners

David Walters Yachts is pleased to host a Hylas Brokerage Event and Owner Social on June 13, bringing together current Hylas owners and prospective buyers for a relaxed, hands-on introduction to these exceptional cruising yachts.

The day will feature a curated selection of Hylas brokerage yachts available for dockside tours and scheduled sea trials, giving buyers the opportunity to experience firsthand the performance, build quality, and thoughtful design that define the Hylas brand. Our team will be on hand throughout the day to answer technical questions, discuss model differences, and provide expert insight into ownership, refit considerations, and long-range cruising capabilities.

Following the sea trials, we’ll transition to a casual owner and buyer social at the David Walters Yachts patio, with a BBQ, music, and refreshments. This portion of the event is designed to encourage conversation—connecting prospective owners with experienced Hylas sailors and the brokerage specialists who know these yachts best.

Whether you are actively in the market or simply exploring what sets Hylas Yachts apart, this event offers an informative, low-pressure environment to learn, tour, sail, and connect.

Prospective owners actively considering a Hylas—whether for coastal passagemaking, offshore cruising, or extended liveaboard use—will benefit from the opportunity to tour multiple brokerage examples and participate in sea trials.

Current Hylas owners are encouraged to attend as well, both to enjoy the social aspect of the gathering and to share real-world ownership experience with those considering the brand. Sailors who appreciate robust construction, thoughtful systems engineering, and proven bluewater performance will find the conversations especially valuable.

This event is also well suited for buyers who value expert guidance—those who want to speak directly with the Hylas specialists at David Walters Yachts about model selection, refit considerations, maintenance expectations, and long-term ownership strategy in a relaxed, informal setting.
