2021 Hylas M44

The Hylas M44 is a 44-foot motor yacht built on a hull design proven in commercial and offshore fishing work around New Zealand's coastlines. Designed by Salthouse, an architect with over 65 years of experience, the boat combines a robust, seaworthy hull with twin Yanmar diesel engines producing 740 horsepower. The design prioritizes fuel efficiency without compromising capability, allowing extended cruising with reduced fuel consumption.

The open layout flows from the helm station through a generous salon and alfresco dining area to a covered cockpit and swim platform, creating continuous entertaining space on a single level. The yacht accommodates two cabins and one head. The galley features custom marble countertops installed in 2023.

Recent additions enhance comfort and connectivity: custom carpet runners were added in 2023, and sound insulation was upgraded in the engine compartment the same year. The boat is equipped with Starlink satellite internet, a Presto dinghy lift, and a Highfield aluminum hull dinghy with outboard motor.
