Description

AEOLI (name reserved), formerly BLUEWATER and previously SERENITY, is a top-notch 2002 Hylas 54 ready to continue her journeys.

AEOLI, H54#24, is equipped with all hydraulic furlers, eliminating the issues associated with electric mainsail furling. She also features electric two-speed primary winches and a mainsheet winch. Forward, she has optional adjustable staysail cars, allowing you to modify the sheeting angle for greater versatility. Aft, the top-of-the-line stainless steel Simpson Lawrence davits gleam in the sunlight and now support a custom stainless steel rack with 1kW of solar panels.

The interior was customized at the time of order to include a wrap-around dinette, providing additional seating and storage. The interior trim is finished in high-gloss instead of matte, with louvered cabinetry. Additional rich teak trim and paneling accent the portlights and windows, while the headliner was upgraded to supple leather.

A third refrigeration compartment was added to the galley for extended cruising. At the companionway, two sturdy stainless steel handrails ensure safe access to and from the cockpit. The nav station is traditionally forward-facing, allowing for a doorway to the aft shower - an uncommon feature in later H54 models.

Under her original owner, SERENITY was a full-time liveaboard vessel, captain-maintained, and seasonally used. During the offseason, she was stored on the hard in Grenada. The second owner purchased her in 2019, renamed her BLUEWATER, and continued her meticulous upkeep. The current owners acquired her in 2023, renaming her AEOLI, and have maintained the same high standards. They completed a refit in preparation for a Mediterranean voyage, though their plans have changed. AEOLI is now ready for anything, with regular maintenance performed by her owners and long-time trusted professionals in Grenada.

This is an excellent opportunity to own a world-cruising yacht with an equipment list typically found on yachts over 60 feet. Below is a summary of her features and recent upgrades:

Before that, Erik was a successful Store Manager with West Marine, winning many top accolades, including multiple District Store of the Year awards. Erik was born in New York, where he learned to sail at a young age on the Hudson River. In the mid-1990s, his family moved to Annapolis, where his fondness for the Chesapeake grew by being involved in sailboat racing, fishing, and other water-related activities.

To further his career as a yacht broker, Erik attended continuing education training and was granted certification as a Certified Professional Yacht Broker in 2017. His drive to ensure his client's needs are met is paramount. Erik believes his job is never done with any client and that the personal assistance he provides clients, some years after they make their purchase, sets him apart from other brokers in the industry.

Erik is known to be personable and easily explains different vessels and their systems, making it a pleasant experience for both buyers and sellers as they get to know their boat better and understand how to remedy issues along the way. He has a wide breadth of yacht sales experience, from blue water yachts to center console fishing boats, picnic boats, sport fishers, racing sailboats, trawlers, and motor yachts.

When Erik is not showing boats, you can find him on the Bay on his Regulator center console or involved in the sailboat races out of Annapolis and around the East Coast. During the winter, Erik relocates to South Florida to be closer to his clients, participating in the annual "snowbird" ritual.
