We are proud to offer 'Rover', a rare late model Hylas 54 Raised Saloon that has been impeccably maintained.

The sellers, two couples, are experienced yacht owners, cruisers, and racers, having owned Sabre and Little Harbor previously. Prior to their purchase of 'Rover' they sailed extensively aboard other Hylas', including a customized Hylas 56 'Odette' that was campaigned in several ocean races when not cruising. Their fondness for adventure growing, they decided to join forces in obtaining their own bluewater yacht together.

Their decision to purchase a Hylas 54 was from the result of an indepth review of several other brands, including Oyster, Passport, Amel, and custom designs. They desired a yacht that could carry two couples comfortably, with great ocean passagemaking, for the ultimate goal of exploring Europe and the Pacific.

Since their purchase of 'Rover' the sellers have gone through the Hylas 54 from stem to stern, from windex to keel, as they have been preparing for their eventual circumnavigation. This past winter 'Rover' cruised the Caribbean and Bermuda before their return to Annapolis. Their longterm cruising plans have changed and this presents a rare opportunity to obtain a fully found Hylas 54 that is quite literally 'turnkey'.

The sellers exploits aboard 'Rover' have been published on their blog, svrover.com
