Multihulls World Power Special highlights the revolution in power-driven multihulls: more interior volume, larger deck areas, enhanced stability, and lower fuel use redefine what’s possible on the water.
After four years of development, Xquisite Yachts and Dixon Yacht Design completed the tooling for the innovative SIXTY SOLAR POWER at their Portugal production facility, finally launching the first hull in December 2024.
This new powercat embodies Xquisite Yachts’ signature design elements, including distinctive arch-style coachroof supports and prioritized onboard comfort, creating an unmatched luxury experience. Equipped with a hybrid diesel-electric propulsion system, she achieves energy independence via an expansive solar panel array installed on both the bimini and T-Top, significantly enhancing power efficiency.
This compact soon to be launched powercat, features a sober design characterized by a semi-suspended T-Top – so that, in fine weather, it’s somewhere between an Open and a Cabin Cruiser. This perfect weekender, designed in collaboration with Dixon Yacht Design, offers excellent handling qualities, top-level performance, and genuine comfort both at anchor and underway.
She’s equipped with hydraulic steps forward for easy access to the beach, a closeable nacelle with air conditioning for hot days, and protection from poor weather. The aft deck, with its convertible bench seat, extends to become a “beach club” area
thanks to fold-down bulwarks.
