CHALLENGER Boat for Sale

While many yachts are advertised as "like new," Challenger is true to her word and genuinely sparkles - she is simply immaculate. With new dodger and Bimini canvas, this solid, sea kindly and classic 2006 Hylas 49 is a lightly used gem with very low engine hours, and exceptional care from a proud, attentive, and experienced owner. Precious few of these coveted blue water yachts built by Queen Long Marine have made it to the market in the last few years.

The high-quality craftsmanship and the proven, attractive, traditional design from Sparkman & Stephens, especially her appealing lines have been noted in many published reviews. These qualities, along with enthusiastic testimony from owners, have inspired a near cult-like following.
