VANISHING POINT Yacht Description
-
Brand-new Hylas 57 (2022):
Fresh, modern sailing yacht with two queen suites for four guests. -
BBQ on board:
Easy alfresco lunches and sunset grilling while anchored in quiet New England coves. -
Rendezvous diving available:
Add guided scuba days without carrying bulky dive gear onboard.
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.

Price Terms
Plus Expenses - add APA to the price you see
Plus Expenses arrangement includes the boat and crew only (without tip).
All additional/variable expenses such as Gas and Food are deducted from an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) - an additional deposit that is added on top of the charter price.
The expenses, such as provisioning, fuel, marina fees, are deducted from the APA. The APA is based on the price of the yacht and ranges from 15% (crewed sailing yachts) to 30% (motor yachts with higher fuel consumption).
For a sailboat like VANISHING POINT, the expected APA is 15% to 30% of the charter price ($2,925 - $5,850), making the charter cost $22,425 to $25,350. Exact amount will be confirmed after inquiry.
You can actively control these expenses in your preference sheet (local vs. imported beverages) and by choice of itinerary (distances traveled).
The remainder of the APA is returned after charter.

| 3 day charter | 9,750USD to 11,250USD | 1,950USD to 3,375USD | 11,700USD to 14,625USD | The usual formula is the 7 day charter rate divided by 6, times the number of days (3). Boat policy might differ. 19,500USD / 6 * 3 days = 9,750USD |

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
I have just spoken to my client, and he had an amazing time onboard Vanishing Point.
Thanks!
Hattie.
