Xquisite X5 Catamarans use the best of the best and is possibly the ultimate luxury Catamaran. As we search for the perfect cruising Catamaran, what will we think of this futuristic world cruiser?

"It's just really, really impressive the number of sea going details built into this boat" - said Tim Murphy in the June edition of Cruising World magazine.

The Xquisite X5 catamaran sets herself apart from the field of competitors with enhanced luxury details, combined with the latest technological advances.

The X5 is a total success. This “turn-key” catamaran is attractive with its rigorous specifications, fall top of the range equipment and exacting quality. The ease of use by a short-handed crew is undisputable, and the watchkeeper does not need to panic at the prospect of changing a headsail or reefing the main.

In 2010, the Dean 5000 became a big hit at the La Rochelle boat show, but then the actual launch of this model got bogged down with the various problems at the yard which eventually led to its demise. Phoenix Marine, a major South African manufacturer (in the composites fabrication and shipyard sector) bought the rights to the plans and asked architect Rudolf Jonker to take up the project and design a completely new boat within the existing lines: the Xquisite X5. We were able to get a first look and try her out in some great weather conditions.

Multihulls World magazine has published the full test of the X5 in their latest issue (MW #150).

The 50' Xquisite X5 Catamaran sailed over 4,000 miles from Cape Town South Africa to the Brazilian coast and catching a Mahi Mahi.

What is comfort at sea? With our landlubber reflexes, the first criterion that comes to mind will undoubtedly be space. The longer we stay on board, the more important it will be. Going off for a couple of weeks with eight friends to the Caribbean on a 40-foot catamaran generally goes very well - as long as everyone does their bit.
