About X-Yachts
When you choose an X-Yacht, you experience a world-renowned brand where performance meets luxurious comfort and smart innovation.
Founded in Denmark in 1979, X-Yachts quickly established a reputation for building premium yachts that meld exhilarating sailing with refined interiors. While well known for their regatta-winning racer-cruisers, X-Yachts’ dedicated cruising line — XCruising — raises the bar for offshore comfort, passage making, and reliability.
The hulls are epoxy-infused and oven-baked for exceptional structural integrity, and every detail is designed for ease of handling whether short-handed or sailing with family and friends. From deep hull sections that ensure a smooth, safe passage, to extensive teak decking and thoughtfully engineered sail plans for stress-free cruising, X-Yachts make life at sea a pleasure.
