2023 Hylas M47 - A Downeast Motor Yacht with Offshore DNA
For those who have spent years under sail and are now considering a shift to the comfort and efficiency of a motor yacht, the Hylas M47 offers a seamless transition. Designed with the same Bluewater pedigree that has defined Hylas Yachts for over four decades, the M47 is a Downeast-style cruiser built for long-range adventures with the ease of modern power.
At the heart of the M47 is its innovative diesel outboard propulsion system, the first production boat in the U.S. to feature Cox Marine diesel outboards as standard. This groundbreaking technology provides the reliability, fuel efficiency, and durability offshore sailors expect, while significantly reducing maintenance compared to traditional inboard configurations. Developed in collaboration with Salthouse Marine, the M47 delivers exceptional performance, stability, and craftsmanship - hallmarks of Hylas' bluewater heritage. Turnkey & Ready to Cruise
Meticulously maintained by David Walters Yachts and Cox Marine, this demo model is now available for immediate delivery in Ft. Lauderdale, FL.
For Bluewater sailors looking to embrace the Downeast lifestyle without sacrificing the range, efficiency, and offshore capability they're accustomed to, the Hylas M47 is a natural choice.
Accommodations and Layout A Layout Designed for Cruisers
Built for extended cruising, the M47's interior is designed with the practical needs of passagemakers in mind, offering the perfect balance of luxury, efficiency, and functionality.
Two-Cabin, One-Head Layout: The master stateroom features a centerline queen berth with ample storage, while the guest cabin offers a convertible queen with a Pullman bunk, ideal for accommodating extra crew or guests.
