In the demanding world of South Florida yachting, a vessel must prove its worth on four critical fronts: high-performance speed, luxury-grade comfort, social-scene dominance, and logistical convenience. HCB Yachts, rightfully earning the nickname “Ferraris of the yachting world,” delivers on all counts, perfectly suiting the needs of the discerning Miami yachtsman. More than just impressive center consoles, they are purpose-built for the South Florida environment—from spontaneous trips to Bimini to securing the boat during hurricane season. We highlight two exceptional HCB for sale with FGI Yacht Group: “No Compromises” and “Da Dinghy.”
No Compromises | 53’ (16.15m) | The Versatile South Florida Performer
The 53-foot Sueños, “No Compromises,” is the ideal blend of manageable size and serious capability. Her quad 350s outboard diesel engines ensure a top speed of over 45 knots, providing the critical speed needed to cover the 50-mile crossing to Bimini and the northern Bahamas in under two hours.
South Florida Lifestyle Advantages:
Bahamas Ready: The combination of speed, range, and the functional lower deck cabin—featuring a queen-size berth and full amenities—makes a last-minute weekend in the Keys or the Bahamas a simple reality, not a planning nightmare.
Hurricane-Season Peace of Mind: At 53 feet, the yacht’s dimensions are highly advantageous for South Florida boat owners. Unlike larger motor yachts, the center-console design and beam of the Sueños make it suitable for many standard boat lifts, providing a crucial layer of protection and security during storm preparations when many marinas are at capacity.
Miami Entertaining: The flexible bow area converts from a fishing platform to a lavish sun pad and central dining area, making it perfect for dockside dining along the Miami River or anchoring at the Haulover Sandbar for a day of sophisticated socializing.
Da Dinghy | 65’ (19.81m) | The Flagship of Fast Cruising
As the 65-foot Estrella and HCB’s flagship, “Da Dinghy” makes the ultimate statement in the competitive Miami yachting scene. She is powered by quint Yamaha (425) outboard diesel engines, pushing her top speed up to a staggering 56 knots. This speed is a game-changer for extended cruising, allowing the owner to reach destinations like Eleuthera or the Exumas faster than many smaller vessels.
South Florida Lifestyle Advantages:
The Ultimate Quick Bahamas Platform: The 56-knot top speed minimizes travel time, maximizing vacation time. Paired with a large master stateroom, well-appointed galley, and spacious bathroom, she elevates spontaneous trips into true luxury extended cruising, offering the comforts of home while anchored in a Bahamian cove.
Unrivaled Social Space: Her expansive cockpit and European-inspired bow seating are essential for the region’s vibrant social life, easily hosting large groups for everything from Art Basel events to pre-game gatherings.
Command and Security: While a 65-foot yacht requires a more substantial lift, her center-console design maintains a relatively lower profile than a flybridge yacht of similar length, simplifying haul-out and offering a more streamlined solution for hurricane prep compared to traditional sportfishers, all while projecting the high-tech, controlled aesthetic prized by the South Florida elite.
Both “No Compromises” and “Da Dinghy” are more than just boats; they are mobile entertainment platforms and secure, high-speed vehicles built to embrace every facet of the demanding South Florida boating lifestyle.
