2022 HCB 65 Estrella

The 2022 HCB 65 Estrella we recently sold was a prime example of why HCB dominates the luxury center console market. This isn't just a big center console; it's a true yacht in disguise, offering unparalleled amenities and performance. With its quad or quint engine setup, the 65 Estrella delivers exhilarating speed and a range that makes extended Bahamas trips a breeze, easily covering the distance from Fort Lauderdale to the Exumas and back without refueling worries. The beam of 13 feet, combined with HCB's signature hull design, provides a remarkably stable and dry ride, even in choppy Atlantic conditions. What set this particular 65 Estrella apart was its meticulous condition, reflecting an owner who spared no expense in maintenance. Buyers who missed this opportunity should understand that the 65 Estrella’s expansive cockpit and bow lounge areas are designed for serious entertaining or comfortable long-distance cruising, not just fishing. It offers yacht-level finishes, air-conditioned cabins, and a full galley, making it a viable option for overnight stays or even week-long excursions. Finding another 65 Estrella in this condition, especially at the value this one represented, will be a challenge. We at Yacht Access always advise clients looking for this caliber of vessel to act decisively.

This HCB 65 Estrella was perfectly suited for luxurious day trips and extended weekend adventures to the Bahamas, offering ample space for entertaining large groups or comfortable overnight stays. It also excelled as a high-performance tender for a larger yacht or as a primary vessel for serious sportfishing and diving excursions in the Florida Keys and beyond.

The typical buyer for a 65 Estrella is an experienced yacht owner, often upgrading from a smaller center console or downsizing from a larger motoryacht, who demands uncompromising performance, luxury, and versatility. They value speed, range, and the ability to entertain extensively while maintaining the ease of operation of a center console, often with a captain but capable of owner-operation.
