A fully glazed wheelhouse
Dutch shipyard Holterman is unveiling a new 60-foot yacht in its Xtreme yachts line of flexible, multipurpose powerboats. The first Xtreme-60, 20 meters long, is already under construction and is positioned between the existing models Xtreme-54 and Xtreme-78. Its sporty lines are highlighted by a fully glazed wheelhouse with an inverted windscreen. The "Thumblehome" design of the hull brings elegance to the X-treme 60, while the three large glass surfaces of the superstructure wrap around the salon.
Launch of the boat in 2024
The construction of the hull has already been completed and work is now turning to the superstructure. Bernd Weel's design calls for complex shapes and numerous hull openings to let in natural light. In late spring, the two parts will be joined together and the boat will be taken to the Holterman shipyard in Meppel for completion. The boat will then be launched in 2024 before leaving with its owners for a cruise in Norway. It was the larger Xtreme's windows and foredeck layout options that appealed to these new owners, as well as the large interior volume.
Beautiful outdoor living spaces
The development of the Xtreme-60 came about because of the larger Xtreme-78, with its generous outdoor space. The long aft deck is designed for lounging in the sun and shade, and offers plenty of living space. Wide, deep side decks, secured by high bulwarks, lead to an elegant salon on the foredeck. A table and two sofas in matte white fabric provide an ideal place to enjoy the sunsets. The open-worked bulwarks offer a view of the water below and facilitate mooring procedures.
A flexible beach club
On the other side is a flexible beach club. When the transom is closed, a bench seat provides a sea view. The hydraulically opening hatch reveals a deep garage for storing water toys, diving gear, bikes and other equipment. The swim platform can be lowered for easier access to the sea and also serves as a lifting and storage point for a dinghy of up to 5.5 m in length.
A highly personalized interior
The interior has been designed according to the owner's wishes, offering luxurious accommodation designed by Kitty van der Kamp. The main deck is a large, open and bright space connected to the cockpit lounge. The space is divided between a lounge, a dining room and a kitchen.
Forward is the semi-divided wheelhouse, offering good visibility to all sides and aft. On this first model, the lower deck is configured with a huge master stateroom extending the full width of the boat, with plenty of storage, a desk and a dressing table. An adjoining shower room with separate sinks offers a large walk-in shower. Further forward, a cozy TV lounge lit by the hull's large windows and a zenithal skylight is a specific request of the owner.
At the front of the boat there is a double cabin with a second bathroom, which also serves as a toilet during the day.
Slow speed and autonomy for the trip
The boat's propulsion is provided by two Volvo Penta D6-300 horsepower engines offering a cruising speed of 8 or 11 knots at full speed. Combined with a 5,000-liter fuel tank, this configuration offers a range of approximately 1,100 miles. Comfort at sea and at anchor is guaranteed by a DMS stabilization system.
Design options to customize your boat
While this first model will sail in the cool waters of northern Europe, the Xtrem-60 can also be adapted for tropical sailing. It is also possible to add crew accommodation in the aft room or to transform the lower deck salon into a third cabin.
