Hyperion
- 47.42m | Royal Huisman | 1998 (2015)
Hyperion has been a firm favourite with clients since she first launched in 1998 as part of the Royal Huisman fleet.
At 47.42m, she offers more than ample space for six guests across three comfortable cabins and eight highly professional crew. Hyperion boasts a huge foredeck with sunbeds and this is a versatile, convertible space that provides the ideal party spot by night and yoga shala for early morning sunrise sessions.
A stylish and elegant refit in 2015 has created a homely and cosy interior, which is perfect for kicking back as you skim through the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean or the Caribbean at a comfortable cruising speed of 10 knots.
With air conditioning, WiFi, and a wine cave, Hyperion offers sailing enthusiasts an authentic ocean-going sailing experience without forsaking the modern conveniences that seasoned charterers have come to expect.
The Experience
Thanks to her large pilothouse, spacious main salon and a master cabin that offers a luxuriously appointed office as well as a relaxation area, Hyperion punches well above her weight and size.
Authenticity is key and guests will be wowed by her traditionally styled interiors and salon piano, which takes pride of place! Pale carpeting and copious wood panelling feature throughout along with both formal and casual nautically decorated dining areas, depending on whether you are planning an intimate candlelit supper or a casual morning brunch at a booth-style banquette.
There is ample storage in the two guest doubles and guest twin cabins, with wood panelling and crisp white linens creating an classic cruiser vibe. Other wow factors include Hyperion’s split-level salon, which is divided by a sweeping staircase and her bold principle bathroom that’s finished in grey marble and features a solid marble bath tub.
Enjoy lounging with an apero and a good book on the white daybeds before diving in for a swim off the long-dock extension or taking a spin on some of Hyperion’s water toys. Finally, join your fellow guests for an alfresco sunset supper on the bimini-shaded aft deck.
The Captain
Captain Daniel Rawlins grew up on the coast of South Africa and started sailing at the age of eight. His superyacht career began over two decades ago and has encompassed three transatlantic crossings and two circumnavigations. A keen sportsman, he has spent long periods on the Pacific Ocean, captaining the 120 ft Perini Navi S/Y Gitana before joining Hyperion in 2010. A career spent experiencing multiple cruising grounds has taught Daniel to lead by example and he is enjoying his tenure on Hyperion.
Chef & Cuisine
Award-winning French chef Marie Scully has sailing in her blood – she grew up boating off the North Atlantic coast. Also known as Scully, she started her culinary career working in Parisian restaurants.
Scully spent 15 years travelling the world so it’s no surprise that her knowledge of global cuisine, unusual ingredients and authentic cooking styles is unparalleled.
Collecting recipes and influences along the way, Scully has earned her stripes in street kitchens, three-star Michelin restaurants and everything in between. She ran her own restaurant in Mexico and is equally enthralled by Asian cuisine so your tastebuds are in excellent - and highly experienced - hands.
Scully joined the superyachting world five years ago and her passion to create and innovate saw her competing in the chef competition at 2021’s Antigua Yacht Show. She won Best Main Course for her divine Flower Power mahi mahi dish, comprising Eastern-influenced nage, diced mango and pimiento.
You can expect more of the same on board Hyperion, where Scully is expertly guided by her inherently French instincts fused with Asian and South American influences.
