Celebrating a Decade with Phoenix Marine

and a Grand Showcase at the Annapolis Sailboat Show

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.

Don’t Miss the Annapolis Sailboat Show

The Annapolis Sailboat Show is still underway, and there’s time to catch us until 5:00 pm on Sunday, October 15.

    The New - 2022 “Best Boat” Nominee - X5 PLUS debuting at the Annapolis Boat Show

    The 2022 “Best Boat” Nominee – X5 PLUS debuting at the Annapolis Boat Show

    Written by Xquisite Yachts on . Posted in News.

    The 2022 “Best Boat” Nominee – X5 PLUS debuting at the Annapolis Boat Show

    Hull #017 is the first of the X5 PLUS series and will be on display at the
    upcoming boat show in Annapolis

    Following up on its SAIL magazine “Best Boats” winning X5, South Africa-based Xquisite Yachts has been busy of late working on no less than three new projects. The first of these, the X5 PLUS, represents an evolution of the already outstanding X5.

    Chief among the changes relative to its predecessor are lighter displacement and a more powerful rig in the interest of speed. Other upgrades (based on feedback from existing customers) include everything from a state-of-the-art electrical system to more handholds – all with an eye toward ensuring the best sailing experience possible.

    Amenities include a dedicated tool cabinet, a forward-facing nav area that also serves as an excellent watch-standing station on passage, a raised outside helm station to port, a large galley, and a wealth of saloon and helm windows.

    The 2022 “Best Boat” Nominee – X5 PLUS

    LOA: 53ft, BEAM: 26ft 2in, DRAFT: 4ft 5in, DISPLACEMENT: 35,274lb (light ship),
