To be discovered in France in September 2021
This 10.2m dayboat will be on show in France in September 2021 at the Cannes boat show, with the first 15 boats reserved for the Scandinavian market. Launching itself on a new core market, due to the current situation, the shipyard wishes to be able to ensure a fast technical follow-up in case of need.
A high-performance hull and touch-sensitive controls
Among the distinctive features of the X-Power 33C is its Petestep hull for lower energy consumption and more comfortable passage at sea thanks to these hull deflectors. Secondly, all the controls (steering, but also ergonomics) of the boat are done from two large 16-inch touch screens in the cockpit. The critical functions will nevertheless be doubled by conventional switches.
A comfortable open for a weekend at sea
This grand open has a closed cockpit at the stern, with a central backrest that folds down to enter the boat. In this space there is a plethora of seating as well as a galley unit with fridge, sink and integrated stove behind the starboard cockpit seats.
A carbon hard-top is optional and can be completed with an integral hood to close the wheelhouse completely, from the windscreen to the stern. Inside, there is a double berth and a toilet with shower.
As standard, the X-Power 33C is equipped with a 370 HP Yanmar inboard engine and a bow thruster.
This first series of boat is delivered with a red hull, a nod to the very first yacht launched by X-Yachts in 1979, the X-79, which also had a red hull. But future owners will have the choice of about ten colours of adhesive.
Capitalizing on the yard's sailing clientele
There are two reasons for this shift in powerboating. First, because this market represents about 90% of the world market. But also because today, X-Yachts has close to 6?000 owners around the world, all convinced of the quality of the brand's boats and interested in powerboating. Either as an additional boat or as a replacement for their sailboat, as owners are getting older.
If for the moment X-Yachts is capitalizing on its sailing clientele, the manufacturer has developed a long-term strategy on motorboats. The 2nd model to come will be an X-Power 33 in a cabin version with an enclosed wheelhouse and larger models - 38/40 feet - are already on the drawing board.
Price: From 360?000 euros incl. VAT
