ON DISPLAY AT THE NEWPORT BROKERAGE BOAT SHOW

NEWPORT, RI, SEPTEMBER 11-14, 2025

The Hylas 54 is the quintessential center-cockpit cruiser for couples or for owner/operators looking to cruise long-range in style and comfort with minimal crew requirements. The combined hulls of this celebrated and proven design have many millions of blue-water miles under their keel and have held their value exceptionally well over the years as most have been well-loved and meticulously maintained by their owners, many of them benefitting from multiple major refits just before or after a round-the-world jaunt. FREE RANGE has had all that and more and is exceptional in this category in that she has enjoyed the professional care and maintenance of a full-time captain for the past two years. Her current owner approaches the maintenance plan with an ‘open-checkbook’ attitude, and it really shows – FREE RANGE is completely turnkey for her next owner as this one looks to step up into a larger Hylas.

The raised center cockpit of the H54 allows for a class-leading interior volume with an enormous salon that opens to the galley & nav station, deck-height windows for natural light and ventilation, and three well-appointed cabins.

The beam-wide owner’s stateroom is aft and benefits from a king-sized berth, ensuite head with stall shower, ample light and ventilation, and plenty of storage. The standard settee was eliminated in exchange for more storage lockers. There is a flat screen TV on the forward bulkhead with a huge hanging locker below. There are his-and-hers lockers and drawers on either side of the stateroom.

Going forward through the forward passageway there is another large stateroom in the bow (queen-sized berth), and a guest cabin to port with a double/single convertible berth that can double as a work bench. These two cabins share a well-appointed head, also with an ensuite stall shower. 

All cabinetry and doors are teak with an ebony inlay. The passageway doors have squared bases at the bottom and rounded corners on top. The soles throughout are bamboo with teak inlay. There is a double-grooved design element around the main salon, galley and cabin fiddles. There is teak facia along the coachroof throughout all cabins including the main salon and galley. Beautiful Giallo California Granite Counters were used in the galley. The upholstery is UltraSuede.  

• (41) Newport LED recessed lights on dimmers were added throughout. 

As you will find on the equipment list, FREE RANGE offers all of the interior comfort systems you’d expect in a cruising yacht of this caliber.
