Yacht Description
Serious sailing pedigree. HYPERION is a 155ft Royal Huisman sloop built in 1998 and refit in 2023, set up for up to 6 guests who actually want to sail, not just pose next to a mast.
Big boat, small party. She sleeps 6 in 3 en-suite cabins: a full-beam primary suite with a king bed plus study area, a queen cabin, and a twin. Intimate. In a very non-intimate size yacht.
Water time made easy. A swim platform gets you in and out of the sea without the usual choreography, and the 5.4m custom McMullen and Wing tender plus a Zodiac inflatable tender keep shore runs and watersports logistics simple.
Toys that earn their keep. When you want to swap sail trim for speed, there is a proper lineup including wakeboards, adult water skis, kiteboard equipment, a windsurfer, towables, and snorkelling gear, with Wi-Fi and air conditioning onboard for the quieter hours.
