Yacht Description
New build, small group. VANISHING POINT is a 57-foot Hylas sailing yacht built in 2022, set up to sleep 4 guests in 2 suites. If you want a proper sailing yacht without scaling up to a crowd, this is the clean solution.
Two real cabins. You get a primary suite and a VIP suite, both with queen beds and en-suite bathrooms. No bunk gymnastics. No “convert the salon” conversation.
Designed by Bill Dixon. Bill Dixon handled both the exterior and interior design, which matters when you are spending a lot of time on board in a 57-footer. The layout and accommodations are meant to feel thought-through, not improvised.
Comfort still counts. Full air conditioning is onboard for the hot, sticky hours, and there is a BBQ listed for easy deck meals when you want to keep things simple.
Captain Only: $19,500 CAPTAIN ONLY - UP TO 4 GUESTS - Christmas & NY rates will be $22,425 A daily meal allowance to be added of $50 for the Captain, unless the charter guests will provide meals for the Captain

Charter Reviews
Broker comment.
Together they offered a casual and relaxed service.
Special praise went to the crew: “Captain David went above and beyond to give us the experience we had envisioned,” and “Chef Wesley was more than THE BEST!! She exceeded our expectations in every possible way.” They described the yacht as the best they’ve ever sailed.
Thank you for such an amazing experience! I've also received a request for feedback from another broker, and I've shared the client's comments with her as well!!
Hope to get more business your way!
Kind regards,
Federico
