Price Just Reduced to $199,000.  Owner Wants Here Sold Now.  

Dream Catcher is a distinguished member of the legendary Hylas 46 line of blue water cruisers, renowned for their exceptional design and performance. This sloop-rigged vessel features a 5'6" shoal draft keel, ideal for versatile cruising. Recently, the owner has undertaken an extensive refit, including the replacement of most water pumps, comprehensive interior and exterior varnish work, servicing of the Maxwell windlass, installation of new batteries throughout the boat, and the addition of a new furling genoa along with updated bimini and dodger canvas. Don’t miss this rare price opportunity to own a luxurious yacht from the prestigious Hylas brand.

Dream Catcher boasts a thoughtfully designed two-stateroom interior layout, ensuring privacy and comfort for both owners and guests. The aft master suite is a highlight, featuring a centerline queen berth, a vanity, and a spacious hanging closet with generous storage. Adjacent to port, the master head offers a stall shower forward of the toilet, enhancing the suite’s en-suite luxury. This Hylas 46’s double pass-through design provides a secluded aft owner’s cabin with a private head, while the passageway galley, located aft of the salon on the starboard side, includes a top- and front-loading refrigerator and freezer, complemented by ample cupboard space.

The spacious salon, centrally located to maximize the beam, is a welcoming hub. It features a long settee to starboard and a large U-shaped settee with dinette to port, which converts into a comfortable sleeping berth with filler cushions. Each settee is enhanced with two cabinets and a shelf outboard, plus extensive storage beneath and behind the backrests.

The amidships galley, positioned to starboard, is equipped with a propane Princess stove and oven, a Guardian 12V refrigerator and freezer, a microwave oven, a centerline stainless steel sink, and abundant storage options, making it a chef’s delight.

Forward, the guest cabin offers a double Pullman berth to port and a private head with shower in the bow. This light-filled and spacious space benefits from a large opening hatch, stainless steel opening ports, and dorade vents, ensuring excellent ventilation.

Throughout the interior, cabin soles are crafted from teak and holly with a high-gloss varnish finish. Bulkheads and furniture showcase teak veneers in a satin finish, accented with meticulously fitted teak trim. Cabinet doors feature teak louvers with a varnish finish, while headliners are padded vinyl with teak trim. In the slightly raised salon, two fixed ports forward allow an abundance of natural light to flood the cabin, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

The hull of the Hylas 46 is meticulously crafted from hand-laid solid fiberglass, reinforced with eight longitudinal stringers integrated into each frame and bulkhead. This construction creates an exceptionally robust, seamless, monolithic structure that exceeds A.B.S. standards. The keel features an externally bolted lead design, secured with 12 solid stainless steel 1 3/8" bolts and backing plates, ensuring unmatched durability. The deliberate spacing between the rudder and keel enhances directional stability and balance, while the semi-skegged rudder combines strength, protection, and superior performance. The rudder’s bottom sits 6" higher than the keel’s lowest point, safeguarding it during potential groundings. Hylas enhances longevity by applying two epoxy barrier coats to prevent blistering.

The deck employs a fiberglass sandwich construction with a balsa core, transitioning to solid GRP fiberglass in all deck fitting and high-stress areas for added resilience. It is securely bonded to the hull using 3M 5200 epoxy and through-bolted every 5" with backing plates. The deck features a molded contrasting beige nonskid surface for safety and aesthetics.
