X-Yachts returns to the Cannes Yachting Festival for 2022 with a bevvy of new and improved models on display from 6-11 September.
 
Experience the stylish power of the X-Power 33C — X-Yachts’ first foray into the powerboat market following its acquisition of HOC Yachts in late 2019 — at stand QSP141 in Cannes Vieux Port – Quai Saint Pierre.

And at stand Sail 197 in Cannes Port Canto, you’ll have the opportunity to jump onboard the Pure X flagship X5⁶, the family-friendly X4⁹ or the new-look X4³.

 
If you can’t make it to the south of France, you’ll have another chance to get up close with some of the newest additions to the X-Yachts range at the Southampton International Boat Show from 16 September.

The latest, upgraded version of X-Yachts’ X4³ will be on display at the Southampton International Boat Show next month.

As previously noted on Afloat.ie, the new X4³ has gone through a serious makeover with a completely new hull and deck design together with many other improvements since its successful predecessor.

You can see the X4³ at the X-Yachts stand M455 during the Southampton International Bay Show from 16-25 September, where the X-Yachts GB & IRL team of Debbie Weldon, Julien Renault and Stuart Abernathy will be in attendance for the duration of the show from 10am to 6pm each day.

Also at the show will be the X5⁶ — the new sailing flagship of the Pure X Range — however viewing is strictly by pre-show booking only. Contact Debbie to arrange an appointment.

And don’t forget you can configure the X4³ and X5⁶ to your own specifications on the X-Yachts website.

X-Yachts GB & IRL are delighted to announce that the first boats in the new generation X4³ model are now starting to arrive in Hamble.

“With the Yanmar 380hp inboard diesel and the T-Top with retractable sun awning, she is both exciting and practical,” X-Yachts’ Stuart Abernathy says.

“Combine this with a comfortable cabin below decks and separate electrical toilet, she will suit someone looking for a motor boat with style and overnight practicality.”

X-Yachts has made its first steps on the green transition with its hybrid-powered X4⁹E, as previously reported on Afloat.ie.

The custom edition of the X4⁹ comes with a new propulsion suite developed and supplied by Finnish OceanVolt, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of electric motors for recreational boats.

Its two 10 kW electric saildrives, 28.8 kWh lithium battery bank and onboard DC generator with capacity of 11 kW aim to make long-distance crossings a reality.

And speaking of reality, the first model is now undergoing extensive test sailing before making its debut in the Garmin Round Denmark Race on 15 June.

Leading up to the One Ton Cup in 1990, X-Yachts received an unusual order: to build the world’s best one-tonner, with money no object.

Thirty-two years later and Birger Hansen brings the historic vessel back to its birthplace.

Okyalos X is the most advanced boat ever built by the Danish performance brand, and Birger describes the boat as “the Stradivarius of X-Yachts”.

"With no limits in budgets, we could build it in the most optimal way possible. Actually, it turned out to be optimised so much...well, there’s all kinds of little details,” Birger says.

“For example, all the fittings were made from titanium. All of them! There’s no stainless steel anywhere on that boat. Stanchions, chain plates, tiller…everything is made from titanium.”

Stay tuned for the full story about the return of Okyalos X on the X-Yachts website HERE.

X-Yachts GB & IRL in Hamble are delighted to receive the UK’s first X-Power 33C here.

The yacht is in the care of X-Yachts’s agents for Britain and Ireland for the months of April and May before being moved to its new home birth on the west coast.

As previously reported on Afloat.ie, the X-Power 33C marks X-Yachts’ first foray into the powerboat market following the acquisition of Swedish builder HOC Yachts in late 2019.

Get in touch with Stuart Abernathy directly to arrange your private viewing while the yacht is Hamble.
