Now offered after a significant price reduction, Halcyon presents an exceptional opportunity to own one of the most respected bluewater cruising yachts ever built. Adding even greater value, her slip is prepaid through the end of the year, allowing her next owner immediate dockage and a seamless start to the cruising season.
Designed by Mark Ellis and built by the legendary George Hinterhoeller, the Niagara 35 Encore is celebrated for its exceptional craftsmanship, balanced sailing characteristics, and proven offshore capability. Equally at home on coastal cruises or extended passages, she remains one of the most sought-after cruising yachts in her class.
Halcyon is a beautifully maintained example featuring the desirable Encore layout, with an aft galley and dedicated quarter berth that create a spacious, comfortable interior ideal for weekend cruising, liveaboard life, or offshore adventures.
Purpose-built for passagemaking, she combines a full-displacement hull, shoal-draft fin keel, and responsive spade rudder to deliver an outstanding balance of stability, comfort, and performance. Her efficient keel-stepped, single-spreader sloop rig is easily managed by a cruising couple while providing excellent sailing characteristics.
Extensively equipped for serious cruising, Halcyon features premium Navtec stainless-steel rod rigging, new 2025 mainsail and 2026 genoa, Harken roller furling, optimized sail controls, and an upgraded AGM battery bank (2024). The Navtec rod rigging is a particularly rare and valuable upgrade, offering superior strength, minimal stretch, and exceptional longevity while enhancing sail shape, performance, and offshore confidence.
With her new $25,000 price, prepaid slip through the end of the year, fresh sail inventory, Halcyon offers exceptional value and is ready to carry her next owners wherever the horizon leads.
