The Estrella takes the centre-console concept to yacht scale

At 65 feet, the HCB sits far beyond the dimensions of a conventional centre-console boat while retaining the open-deck philosophy of the category. Wide circulation around the helm and extensive exterior seating make the yacht suitable for large day parties and active use on the water.

Unlike a flybridge cruiser, the design dedicates much of its volume to deck space rather than multiple enclosed cabins. That gives owners exceptional outdoor capacity but makes the yacht best suited to day use or shorter overnight trips.

Mercury outboards simplify the machinery arrangement

The listing identifies Mercury propulsion, reflecting HCB’s use of multiple high-output outboards rather than inboard diesels. Outboards free interior hull volume and can simplify service because major mechanical components remain accessible from outside the accommodation spaces.

They also suit the performance expectations of the centre-console market, where fast acceleration and high cruising speeds are central to the ownership experience. Buyers should evaluate service records across all engines because the combined machinery investment is substantial.

Large fuel capacity supports serious range

Fuel capacity is listed at approximately 1,730 gallons, an unusually large volume for a 65-foot leisure yacht. The tankage supports long runs between fuel stops and reflects the power demands of a large multi-outboard installation.

Fresh-water capacity is around 120 gallons, while the yacht includes one private cabin and one head. This contrast reinforces the Estrella’s design priorities: extensive range and deck utility rather than residential accommodation.

North Palm Beach is a natural market

The yacht is based in North Palm Beach, close to South Florida’s extensive service network and immediate routes toward the Bahamas. The region has deep technical support for Mercury outboards and large centre-console yachts.

At $3.15 million, the HCB 65 Estrella sits in a specialised premium segment. Its appeal is not traditional luxury-yacht volume but the ability to combine super-sized open-deck living, performance and long-range fuel capacity within LYG’s under-24-metre scope.
