HYS Yachts. The Art of Conversion.
Testimonials.
Shown below are a few glowing recommendations we've received from a number of past clientele.
2002 - M/Y Tiara II
M/Y Tiara II
Back in 2000, I was interested in purchasing my first luxury yacht but the cost for a 50-meter yacht was – at that time – a little daunting for a first-time yacht owner.
I nearly decided to abandon my yachting ambitions when I heard about HYS Yachts in the Philippines.
After a number of extensive meetings regarding a potential project together, I decided to go forward with HYS when they had located a recently retired 55-meter ship that matched nearly all of my requirements.
Many conversion designs were offered and discussed before I finally settled on one that would retain much of the external commercial character of the boat while transforming the interior spaces into beautiful and luxurious living and entertainment environments.
The end result was stunning, absolutely perfect for my recreational and entertaining needs, and quite inexpensive compared to pre-built yachts I was initially interested in.

2005 - M/Y Galapagos
M/Y Galapagos
Soon after purchasing the 55-meter Galapagos, I began considering a fairly extensive conversion to make her more suitable for my specific recreational requirements.
Soon after seeking a suitable conversion facility, I had heard many good things about HYS and the level of work they could perform at a reasonable price.
I am happy to report that was not disappointed.
All work preformed on the Galapagos was carried out on schedule and to my specifications. In many ways, the end result exceeded my expectations.
It is my personal opinion that anyone interested in a major yacht conversion need look no further than HYS.

2006 - M/Y Western Isles
M/Y Western Isles
In 2005 I commissioned HYS Yachts to convert a former Japanese meteorological vessel into a luxury yacht.
After 10 months at the HYS boat yard, the 48-meter Western Isles was completed on time, on budget, and to my complete satisfaction.
I am very happy with the workmanship and professionalism that HYS Yachts brought to my project and would happily work with them again if the opportunity arose.

2010 - M/Y Blue Hunter
M/Y Blue Hunter
After seeing an advertisement from HYS Yachts’ in the November 2008 issue of Boat International I contacted them to see if they could not only do a full conversion on a vessel, but to also source a vessel for the project.
Within 6 weeks, HYS had located an appropriate “donor” ship for the project: a 13 year old, 37-meter Japanese cadet training vessel that had just been put on the market by the Japanese Government. HYS handled all of the details for the purchase as well as all delivery arrangements from Japan to the Philippines.
13 months later – after many re-design issues had been discussed and settled to my satisfaction – the Blue Hunter was completed and set sail for it’s first extended exploration of the southern Philippines.
My experience with HYS and this project was fantastic – so much so, that I’ve already decided to sell the Blue Hunter in order to do another conversion with HYS Yachts on an even larger vessel.
