AVVENTURA is a serious cruising yacht in the truest sense of the term. She is a German Frers designed Hylas 46, built to take a couple comfortably and confidently offshore, while remaining manageable for owner operators who want simplicity, reliability, and secure deck ergonomics. Her center cockpit and raised deck saloon deliver the two things long range owners value most: a safe working cockpit in real weather, and a bright elevated living space with excellent visibility and airflow when you are anchored out for weeks at a time.
The Hylas 46 earned her reputation by getting the fundamentals right. The hull form is fast enough to cover miles efficiently, but more importantly it is steady and predictable at sea. The deck layout is practical and secure, with wide side decks, thoughtful handholds, and a cockpit designed to work underway. Systems access is exceptionally good for a yacht in this class, including companionway ladder and panel access that provides direct reach to key service points, along with robust, service friendly filtration. This is the kind of boat that is meant to be maintained properly and cruised, not tolerated between marina weekends.
AVVENTURA’s story is equally compelling. Originally launched as EXUBERANCE, she began life under a first owner who used the yacht in freshwater and primarily for day sailing and entertaining. The second owner took ownership in 2020. The current seller is AVVENTURA’s third owner, having purchased her in 2022, and has continued the same standard of care with seasonal winter use in Southwest Florida and The Bahamas.
Professional oversight has been a constant. AVVENTURA has been maintained by Hinckley Yacht Services, visited monthly by yacht management to turn and run equipment and ensure systems remain in top working order, and kept fully detailed and regularly waxed. She also benefits from routine monthly diver cleanings.
Where AVVENTURA stands apart is that the heavy lift projects and meaningful modernization have already been done. Standing rigging was replaced in 2024. In 2023 she received a Mack Sails high clew Yankee and a matching removable Mack Sails staysail. At Hinckley Yacht Services, AVVENTURA received a new Victron MultiPlus inverter/charger, new Lifeline and Northstar AGM batteries, a dripless shaft seal, a Vetus 24V bow thruster with joystick helm control, and a drive shaft line cutter. Engine and generator service was completed in November 2025. Air conditioning was serviced in 2026 and a new dodger was installed in 2026. Add Kato davits with tender and outboard, a Forespar aluminum carbon fiber whisker pole, an all purpose cruising spinnaker, and refreshed interior and cockpit soft goods, and you have a Hylas 46 positioned to cruise now, not after the next yard period.

AVVENTURA features the classic and most sought after Hylas 46 arrangement: two cabins and two heads, laid out for comfortable long term cruising with guests.
Aft Master Stateroom
The master cabin aft is a true owner’s suite with a centerline berth, excellent storage in teak cabinetry, and a private ensuite head. The head includes an enclosed shower and also serves as a secondary passageway aft, a thoughtful cruising detail that improves privacy and day to day livability.
Main Saloon
The raised deck saloon creates a bright open living space with excellent sightlines and a cheerful atmosphere. Fit and finish are classic Hylas, including bamboo with teak cabin sole, Whalestone head vanities, and Corian galley countertops. The saloon table drops down to create an additional sleeping berth and includes a sleeping cushion and leaf insert. Two folding ottomans stools provide flexible seating.
Forward Guest Cabin
Forward, the guest stateroom includes a large pullman double berth with plentiful storage. The forward head with shower provides guest privacy and keeps the main saloon uncluttered.
Interior Updates
The linear galley to starboard is both functional and secure, and it also serves as the passageway between the aft stateroom and the main saloon, a layout proven for offshore use.
AVVENTURA was built at the Queen Long facility in Taiwan and reflects the Hylas reputation for robust offshore construction. The Hylas 46 deck and cockpit arrangement emphasizes safe movement, secure footing, and practical cruising ergonomics.
AVVENTURA is configured for short handed cruising with sail handling equipment that reduces workload and supports safe reefing and sail changes.
