360° pictures / XO 360, the first walk-around of the XO Boat yard

The XO 360 was presented to the world at the Boot in Düsseldorf in January 2016. We took advantage of the Grand Pavois to discover on the water the largest model in the range (11.28 m), a walk-around design and cleverly designed. Discover the boat in 360°.

The XO 360 in addition to being the largest model of the range (which totals 5 models), has the particularity of being a walk-around. That is to say that you can go around the wheelhouse by passing through the sidewalks. The wheelhouse can be accessed either from the cockpit or from the starboard side passageway, with access to the cockpit.

The XO 360 has a completely open cockpit which gives it a sleek design. "The yard manager wanted something airy, so as not to burden the design of the boat." explains Romain, XO Boat manager at Snip Yachting. Thus, there are two side benches and a bathing area at the back of the cockpit with a central table, installed on the hatch of the inboard engine (2x300 to 2x380 HP).

The particularity of this walk-around model is that it has an asymmetrical cabin with a much larger starboard gangway (since it allows access to the cabin with a side door).

The fully glazed wheelhouse (as well as the electric glass sunroof on the roof) makes the boat very bright and allows a 360° visibility.

The mid-cabin (2 berths) located at the back of the wheelhouse is accessed by lifting the bench seat located against the wheelhouse.

The saloon has been cleverly thought out as it has a folding table that allows 6 people to eat. But also a front bench seat that can either be used as a dining area or transformed into a seat facing the sea, raised behind the two seats of the cockpit.

On the other side, a bench for 3 persons is facing the square and a kitchenette with double induction plates, sink and refrigerator.

The cockpit is equipped with dual Simrad screen as well as two suspended seats. Note the footrest that allows several positions (low or high).

The relatively spacious main cabin, located at the front of the boat, is equipped with a V-shaped double bed and several storage lockers. Two deck hatches provide ventilation. There is also a bathroom with electric toilet and shower at the front.

The XO 360 is a design boat, with its aluminum hull covered with a carbon effect hull sticker. All handrails, balconies and railings are in black stainless steel, which reinforces the modern look of the boat. The interior is available in two colors (light or dark), as is the roof. But apart from its design aspect, the XO 360 is also a high-performance boat, designed for difficult conditions (the shipyard is Finnish). That's why it has a deep V-shaped aluminum hull. With a Volvo Penta 2 X D4 300 HP or 2 X D6 370 HP engine, it can reach a maximum speed of 42 knots. With a Mercury Diesel 2 X V8 370 HP engine, it reaches 40 knots.

The X0 360 is sold turnkey at a price of 370,000 euros including tax. It will be necessary to count approximately 415 000 euros including all taxes for a boat with option.
