A Full Tour of the Xquisite X5 Plus & The Real Owner Experience with Gone with the Wynns!

A Full Tour of the Xquisite X5 Plus
& The Real Owner Experience with Gone with the Wynns!

What happens when renowned world-cruisers go on a mission to find their next boat home?
They bring a healthy dose of experience, an eye for detail, and a powerful BS detector!
That’s why we were so excited to welcome Jason and Nikki of Gone with the Wynns to our Freeport, Bahamas base. They came to see if the “utopian commune” and “cult-like following” surrounding our yachts was just clever marketing or if there was something more to the story.
In this incredible hour-long video, they conduct a full tour of the X5 Plus, from the dock to open water, and get an unfiltered, honest perspective by sitting down with one of our experienced owners, Dave, to talk about what it’s really like to own and cruise an Xquisite Catamaran.

The Xquisite Philosophy: Where Standard Means Ready-to-Cruise

A key part of the Xquisite experience is our commitment to a ready-to-cruise vessel from day one. Our philosophy, crafted by our founder and circumnavigator Tamas Hamor, is to anticipate a sailor’s every need. That means essential bluewater gear like a dishwasher, washing machine, generator, a complete toolkit, and even dive equipment aren’t found on a long options list – they are standard.
This commitment extends to our community. Our base in Freeport isn’t just a sales office; it’s a hub for service, training, and camaraderie, complete with owner apartments and a full-service restaurant a charter and more. As Dave explains in his conversation with Jason and Nikki, this community and direct support from the builder create a sense of trust and an ownership experience that is truly unique.

      X Marks the FUTURE – Cruising World Reviews the Xquisite’s Sixty Solar Sail

      Marks the FUTURE

      Cruising World Reviews the Xquisite SIXTY SOLAR SAIL

      Sixty Solar Sail

      “SOME SAY THAT IT TAKES A VILLAGE TO ACCOMPLISH GREAT GOALS, BUT WHEN CROSSING OCEANS ABOARD THE SELF-RELIANT XQUISITE SIXTY SOLAR SAIL, YOU TAKE THE VILLAGE WITH YOU.”

      – by Herb McCormick, Cruising World
      The recent review by Herb McCormick in Cruising World (June/July 2025) captures the innovative essence of Xquisite Yachts in a vividly painted journey aboard the Xquisite Sixty Solar Sail. McCormick, with his characteristic insightful and engaging style, portrays the vessel as a groundbreaking step into the future of cruising. He describes stepping aboard as “like entering some sort of otherworldly, waterborne version of The Matrix”, immediately setting the tone for a vessel that’s anything but ordinary.
      Xquisite Sixty Solar Sail Tamas Hamor, CEO, Xquisite Yachts

      The Visionary Behind the Helm

      At the heart of Xquisite Yachts is founder Tamas Hamor, whom McCormick playfully suggests “might just be the most interesting man in the marine industry.” Hamor’s simple declaration, “‘I like to solve problems,’ he told us, which seemed to sum him up well”, speaks volumes about the driving force behind the Sixty Solar Sail’s innovations. McCormick notes how, “In the Sixty, Hamor taken his explosive creativity to new levels in detail after detail.”

      The Xquisite Genesis:

      A Journey of Resilience

      The Xquisite story began not in a boardroom but on the open ocean. Tamas and his wife Sara’s voyage across the Pacific, which included a dismasting near French Polynesia, fueled their determination. This experience, coupled with challenges in building their next boat, led them to establish Xquisite Yachts. Today, their cats are built in South Africa and Spain, with Xquisite now operating a full-service marina and resort in Freeport, Bahamas, dedicated to sales, charter, service, training, fine dining, and more.

      Aesthetics and Design:

      A “Nautical Starship Enterprise”

      McCormick was clearly struck by the Sixty Solar Sail’s unique look. While the earlier multiaward winner X5 model reminded a Boat of the Year team judge of a “Nike basketball sneaker”, he asserts that with the Sixty, “any semblance of awkwardness” is gone. Instead, it “has the sleek, streamlined, contemporary appearance of a nautical Starship Enterprise.”
      From its “powerful, purposeful mien” with reverse bows and integral sprit to the “low-slung, streamlined coachroof” and carbon-fiber “Park Avenue” boom, the yacht exudes advanced design. “To say there’s a lot going on is an understatement,” McCormick remarks on its myriad of well-thought-out features.

      Technical Innovation

      for Self-Reliant Cruising

      The Sixty Solar Sail is engineered for autonomy and performance. Its substantial 7 kW solar array (comprising nearly 40 individual panels) feeds a 60 kWh lithium battery bank and a robust 48-volt electrical system, designed to “cover all house loads at anchor, including air conditioning, which negates the need for an onboard diesel generator.”
      For propulsion, it features an optional hybrid setup: two 110 hp Yanmar diesel engines with sail drives, paired with 15 kW electric motors/generators. These can operate in regeneration mode under sail or propel the boat electrically before the diesels take over. The hull, a vacuum-infused foam-core laminate with vinylester resin, is meticulously hand-laid above the waterline.

      Superior Sailing, Uncompromised Comfort

      Designed for ease of handling, often by a couple just as Tamas and Sara started, the Sixty Solar Sail doesn’t skimp on performance or luxury. McCormick recounts their test sail: “We started off with the big code sail on a beam reach and effortlessly glided along at just over 10 knots.” Even when switching down to the genoa, “we sheeted in everything and still clocked a respectable 7-plus knots.”
      His conclusion? “On the Sixty, it was clear that making rapid miles will never be an issue.” The interior spaces are equally impressive, from the “grand owner’s hull, to port, has a king-size berth; a lounging area with a couch and desk,” to the well-appointed guest staterooms. Seamless integration between indoor and outdoor areas enhances the generous living space.

      The Verdict:

      Traversing Oceans in an Innovative Marvel

      Herb McCormick aptly concludes that while owners of Xquisite Yachts might not always be on epic voyages, “when they do, they will set sail in one of the most innovative, interesting catamarans traversing any ocean.” The Xquisite Sixty Solar Sail, through his lens, is a testament to visionary design and a commitment to the future of cruising.

          Xquisite Sixty Solar Sail: High-Tech Luxury Meets Offshore Capability in Multihulls World Magazine’s Test

          Sixty Solar Sail in Multihulls World Magazine’s Test

          High-Tech Luxury Meets
          Offshore Capability

          Test location: Chesapeake Bay, Annapolis – Maryland – USA
          Conditions: East wind 7-9 knots, calm sea

          Xquisite Yachts is excited to share that our SIXTY SOLAR SAIL will be featured in Issue #201 (June/July 2025) of Multihulls World Magazine. This in-depth test highlights the distinctive features of our flagship Sailing Cat, covering its advanced technology, remarkable sailing performance, unparalleled comfort, and pioneering solar energy capabilities. The feature follows recent recognition, including being named one of the “Top 10 Best Boats of 2025” and a prestigious nomination for “Multihull of the Year 2025“. We are genuinely honored to have the SIXTY SOLAR SAIL rigorously tested and showcased by the expert team at Multihulls World.

          Design Philosophy and Build Quality

          The Xquisite SIXTY SOLAR SAIL represents a significant step forward in the large luxury cruising catamaran market. Born from over a decade of experience and incorporating extensive customer feedback alongside the lessons learned from the successful X5 and X5 Plus models, this 60-footer, designed by Bill Dixon, aims to blend cutting-edge technology, impressive performance, and exceptional comfort into an ideal long-range cruising platform.
          Departing from the heavier profiles of its predecessors, the SIXTY SOLAR SAIL boasts a more dynamic and modern aesthetic, characterized by sleek lines, a single long hull porthole, and a refined rear arch supporting a significant solar array. The design prioritizes not just looks but also practicality and weight management, utilizing a longer platform to optimize comfort and load-carrying capacity. Built in South Africa, the yacht reflects a high standard of construction and finish, even on the first hull tested, with an emphasis on features genuinely conceived by experienced sailors for practical life aboard.

          Spacious Living On Deck and Below

          The catamaran offers truly impressive living space. The cockpit feels exceptionally large, comparable to that of a 70-footer, featuring an aft outdoor galley, clever seating arrangements (including a reversible bench and convertible table), immense storage lockers, and thoughtful details like an integrated shower. The main saloon follows an open-plan concept, seamlessly integrating the well-equipped port-side galley with a central island, a comfortable starboard saloon area, and a generously sized forward navigation station that doubles as an onboard office. Large windows and opening hatches ensure abundant natural light and ventilation.

          Sailing Performance and Innovative Handling

          Despite its luxurious appointments, performance is a key aspect. The SIXTY SOLAR SAIL features a well-dimensioned rig with options including a self-tacking jib, genoa, Code 65, and a large gennaker. During the test in light winds (7-9 knots), the boat showed promising speeds, easily exceeding 9 knots with the Code 65 unfurled. Polars suggest potential speeds well into the mid-teens in stronger breezes. A standout feature is the focus on ease of handling, arguably enabling single-handed sailing thanks to extensive automation. Electric winches, electric furlers (including in-boom furling for the mainsail), and a comprehensive camera system allow critical operations and sail trim to be monitored and controlled directly from the protected helm station.

          Accommodation and Comfort

          Tested in the three-cabin Owner’s Version, the SIXTY SOLAR SAIL provides luxurious accommodation. The entire port hull is dedicated to the owner’s suite, offering remarkable volume with a king-size bed, sofa, desk area, a true walk-in closet (a rarity in this class), and a spacious head with a separate XXL shower that cleverly provides access to the washer/dryer. The starboard hull houses a comfortable forward queen cabin and an aft VIP cabin, both with ample storage, panoramic views, and well-appointed en-suite or adjacent head facilities. Attention to detail, like numerous opening portholes for ventilation, enhances onboard comfort.

          The “Solar Sail” Energy Concept

          Living up to its name, the catamaran incorporates a powerful renewable energy system. A substantial solar array (up to 7kW) feeds a large 60kW lithium-ion battery bank via a 10kW inverter, aiming for significant energy self-sufficiency. While the tested boat featured traditional Yanmar diesels, an optional hybrid propulsion system with hydrogeneration capabilities is available, potentially eliminating the need for a separate generator.

                  On display is the SIXTY SOLAR SAIL, a 60-foot catamaran designed for exhilarating sailing experiences, winner of the ‘Top10 Best Boat’ Award – Courtesy of Sail Magazine.
                  A pioneering vessel at the forefront of green yachting technology:
                  • Advanced Solar Power System:

                    Equipped with up to 6 kW of solar panels, 10 kW inverters, and a large lithium-ion battery pack with a capacity of up to 60 kWh, it ensures that sailors can run all house loads, including air conditioning for multiday periods without fossil fuels.
                  • Hybrid Propulsion:

                    An optional hybrid propulsion system allows for efficient fuel use, making it ideal for longer voyages where power conservation is vital.
                  • Carbon fiber reinforcements:

                    Reinforcements made of carbon fiber are applied in high-load areas to achieve lightweight construction.
                  • Single-Handed Sailing:

                    Fully electric sail controls mean the yacht can be operated effortlessly by just one person, a massive advantage for solo sailors or small crews.
                  • Spacious, smart layout:

                    Her spacious king-sized cabins, expansive galley, large flybridge with retractable awning, high-end finishes, and panoramic views ensure comfort without sacrificing eco-friendliness.

                    As it does every year, catamaran builder Xquisite Yachts organized its Owners’ Get-together.
                    This 2024 event was intended to be festive, with the aim of strengthening ties between the brand and its customers.
                    Multihulls World was among the guests invited to Grand Bahama…

                    The Galley Bar & Restaurant

                    Sixty Solar Sail Xquisite Catamaran Center Xquisite Catamaran Center
                    Established in 2014, the Xquisite brand has, from the outset, sought to offer a genuine customer experience that goes far beyond the “traditional” commercial relationship.
                    One of the manifestations of this desire is the annual Xquisite Owners’ Get-together, an event that has now become a tradition and allows all those who wish to do so to gather for a weekend in a very relaxed atmosphere.
                    Unlike other Owners’ meetings, there’s really no official program here, apart from the big party on the Friday evening.
                    The idea is to give participants the opportunity to discover the Xquisite base and its surroundings in complete freedom. It’s also a good opportunity to discover several of the manufacturer’s models. In fact, this gathering of Owners is also open to customers who are considering acquiring a catamaran from the brand, or who are awaiting delivery.
                    Xquisite Catamaran Center
                    A Family-like Atmosphere
                    The convivial atmosphere makes it easy for chatting, and new acquaintances are made while older members can share their experiences and offer a few recommendations, often quite useful, to new buyers. Destinations, choice of sails, powertrain, and even the choice of the best cooktop to have on board (a story told by yours truly), no subject escapes conversation!
                    It was also a good time to talk about purchasing, insurance, repairs, and administrative formalities, as the entire team was in attendance along with all the brand’s partners.
                    Among the multihulls moored in the marina, there were of course many X5s, the shipyard’s best-seller, but also the brand-new SIXTY SOLAR SAIL, the first to be delivered on this side of the Atlantic.
                    During the day, guests were offered bicycles and kayaks, before enjoying a delicious cocktail around the pool. For my part, I even got the chance to sail, tacking a few times aboard the famous 30 Sportcat, designed for the brand’s sailing school, which I had tried out a year earlier in Annapolis.

                    The Xquisite Catamaran Center,
                    Homeport for Xquisite Owners
                    So it’s in the Bahamas that the brand has set up its Xquisite Catamaran Center. Indeed, as the manufacturer attaches great importance to customer service, the idea was to establish, almost from the brand’s launch, a base that would be the preferred homeport for Owners. Initially planned for Florida, the base was finally set up on the island of Grand Bahama. Tamas and David, the two partners, discovered a marina and hotel on the island, which had almost been abandoned. It soon became apparent that this was the ideal location for their project.

                    In addition to these technical services, the Xquisite Catamaran Center also offers a concierge service – from car rental to refueling your multihull – to enable you to set sail without losing any time. This is also where the manufacturer has set up its offices to provide sales and administrative services. This goes far beyond sales, since Xquisite Owners can also take care of immigration formalities and even obtain a cruising or fishing permit.
                    The Xquisite Catamaran Center is first and foremost a marina, open to anyone, but with real advantages for the brand’s customers. It’s the ideal place to leave your catamaran in port for a few months, but it’s also the place to carry out maintenance, install accessories, or make any modifications you may require. If necessary, repairs can also be carried out here.
                    The site also houses the cruising school, which offers training to future Owners, thanks in particular to the 30 Sportcat. It’s also possible to go on charter, a great way to discover the brand’s catamarans.
                    The final part of the project is, of course, accommodation and catering, as the site offers 10 rooms and 10 suites directly on the marina. Here again, while Xquisite customers enjoy a number of benefits, the hotel will also be open to the public.

                    Not to be forgotten is “The Galley”, the resort’s restaurant, whose chef is a true magician. Since its opening, it has become one of the best restaurants on the island.
