Hardy Marine Yachts
British deck-saloon motor yachts for protected cruising.
Hardy Marine is a British builder of robust motor yachts designed for capable cruising in varied sea and weather conditions. The current range combines semi-displacement hull forms, enclosed deck saloons and practical accommodation, pairing offshore-oriented engineering with the comfort expected from a modern cruising yacht.
Hardy's enclosed deck saloons and semi-displacement hulls express a protected-cruising brief. The 50DS and 65DS offer different amounts of living volume and potential cruising capacity within that recognizable approach.
An owner should weigh weather exposure, passage length and the number of people living aboard. Helm visibility, deck safety, machinery and selected accommodation will determine whether a particular Hardy is suitable for the expected conditions; the larger platform should not be assumed necessary without that use case. Comparing the 50DS and 65DS should include the berth, crew and maintenance implications of the larger platform.
The LYRA catalogue covers the Hardy 50DS and Hardy 65DS. The 50DS presents the deck-saloon concept in a more compact platform, while the 65DS offers additional volume and range for longer cruising programmes. Layout, propulsion, performance and equipment are configured at model level and may differ between individual yachts.
