Phoenix Catamarans

A Decade of Nautical Excellence with Phoenix Marine

At Xquisite Yachts, we’re thrilled to celebrate 10 years of successful collaboration with Phoenix Marine, the esteemed boat builders.

Leveraging our vast experience in the field of catamarans, which includes operating a charter company before founding Xquisite Yachts in 2014, we’ve joined forces with Phoenix Marine’s unparalleled craftsmanship to create some of the most advanced luxurious multi-award-winning catamarans.

A Unique Tribute to a Fruitful Partnership
To honor this milestone, Phoenix Marine’s team of 200 employees formed the Xquisite Yachts logo, a moment captured from the sky. This living logo symbolizes the strong collaboration and shared vision that continues to drive our success.

      Xquisite 30 SportCat: The High-Performance Catamaran That's Perfect for Novice Sailors

      Xquisite 30 SportCat Review: The High-Performance Catamaran That’s Perfect for Novice Sailors

      Written by Xquisite Yachts on . Posted in Press.

      Xquisite 30 SportCat Review:
      The High-Performance Catamaran That’s Perfect for Novice Sailors

      All about Xquisite’s newest offering, the 30 SportCat, which is designed to be the ideal training boat
      for novice sailors who want to fast learn how to sail – Reviewed by Multihull Sailor

      Xquisite 30 SportCat – the best training boat

      Xquisite catamarans are well known as comfortable, well-built long-distance cruising cats with all of the luxury and accouterments one would expect – the antithesis, in other words, of minimalism. Which is why Xquisite’s new offering, the 30 Sportcat designed by François Perus, causes a double take of neck-twinging proportions.
      With a rotating carbon mast, carbon deck beams, displacement of just 1,872 pounds, North 3Di sails, an interior whose greatest luxury is a mattress, and a construction methodology that lets it be dismantled and fit onto a trailer or inside a 40-foot shipping container, this little rocket is just begging to be sailed fast – and that is precisely its purpose, according to Tamas Hamor, Xquisite’s founder, and CEO.
      “That was the goal – the best training boat for people to learn how to sail, but it’s fast enough for people who know how to sail to have fun” – he says. “Half of our owners buying new boats have never sailed before. We want to bring them here and teach them sailing.”
      Xquisite's - 30 SportCat

      Super simple to sail, everything is small

      Xquisite aims to help all of their new owners bridge this gap with a two-week training period. But actually learning to sail is something different, and that’s where the 30 Sportcat comes in. Hamor wanted to create a boat that’s light, fun, and exciting to sail without the complexities of daggerboards or foils. “The boat is super simple to sail. Everything is small. You have to use your hands, you trim the sails, you feel the rudders. Just with two fingers, you can steer the boat. So this is how you learn sailing.”
      Another impetus was the establishment of Xquisite’s new base in Freeport, Bahamas, which was to be fully opened by this summer and will include a sail training school.
      Owners who are waiting for their boats to be built can come to the base and learn on the 30 Sportcat in the meantime. Hamor envisions fun regattas where a group of the boats sail to the Berry Islands, 50 miles away, to spend an overnight on the water. With a 10-hp outboard (optional electric), the boat has two berths aft in each hull, sail storage forward, a portable toilet, and a small sink. It’s camping, he says, and that’s also part of the fun.
      At $285,000 a whack, it’s also expensive fun, but that hasn’t stopped some Xquisite owners from already ordering the boats to keep at their homes while sailing their big cats elsewhere.

      OA: 30′ 4″ | Beam: 16′ 11″ | Draft: 2’ 6″ | Displ.: 1,872 Ibs

        Xquisite 30 SportCat:
        The Perfect Mix of Sport and Comfort, Reviewed by Multihulls World

        We are thrilled to announce that our latest catamaran, the Xquisite 30 SportCat, has been reviewed by Multihulls World, a leading publication in the sailing and boating community. The review showcases the unique features and design of the Xquisite’s 30 SportCat, making it the perfect boat for those who crave both sport and comfort.

        Sporty Day Sailing at its Finest

        The Xquisite 30 SportCat offers an uncluttered cockpit and a sail area-to-weight ratio of 50.59 m²/t, making it the perfect vessel for sporty day sailing. Its rotating mast and carbon beams are just a few of the features that set it apart from other boats in its class.

        Convenient Transport and Accommodation

        With the option to dismantle the boat and transport it via trailer, the Xquisite 30 SportCat is both convenient and versatile. The hulls are also fitted for overnight stays, making it perfect for those who want to sail for longer periods of time.

        30 SportCat: The Best of Both Worlds

        Whether you want to enjoy a windless day or maneuver in port, the Xquisite 30 SportCat has you covered. With the option of a 10 HP outboard or an electric motor, you can enjoy the thrill of sailing or the quiet of an electric motor. The option of daggerboards instead of the standard skeg keels adds to the boat’s versatility.

        The Bottom Line

        With a length of 30.34 feet, a beam of 15.89 feet, and a draft of 2.46 feet, the Xquisite 30 SportCat is both spacious and agile. Its price of $285,000 ex-tax makes it an affordable luxury for those who want the best of both worlds.
