Multihulls World Magazine Sea Trial: SIXTY SOLAR POWER
Multihulls World Magazine Sea Trial
SIXTY SOLAR POWER
Transoceanic Hybrid Propulsion
In September 2025, the first production hull left Aveiro, Portugal, and headed west across the Atlantic with a 2-person crew. Several thousand nautical miles later, she arrived in the Bahamas, averaging 8 knots on her parallel hybrid diesel-electric propulsion system. For a first hull – a 60-foot powercat carrying 184 kWh of lithium batteries, 8 kW of solar, and designed from the ground up for long-range hybrid cruising – that crossing was the real proof of concept. Shortly after arrival, Xquisite Yachts announced a 4-year owner circumnavigation departing in early 2027.
Then she faced one of the toughest judges in the multihull world:
French marine journalist Brieuc Maisonneuve tested the first SIXTY SOLAR POWER at the Xquisite Catamaran Center in Freeport, Grand Bahama. His full review appears in Multihulls World N°206.

From Portugal to the Bahamas
Before any journalist stepped aboard, the SIXTY SOLAR POWER, a 2026 Multihull of the Year Nominee, had already completed her first major test. In September 2025, she crossed the Atlantic from Aveiro, Portugal, to Freeport, Bahamas, covering several thousand nautical miles at an average speed of around 8 knots.
For a first hull, that crossing validated the reliability of her systems, energy efficiency, and long-term livability in open-ocean conditions.
A two-man crew is sufficient to handle the Sixty Solar Power
Multihulls Sea Trial
Brieuc Maisonneuve’s sea trial took place in ideal Bahamian conditions: flat seas, a light breeze under 10 knots, and a young 2-person crew handling the 60-footer with ease – even in the Catamaran Center’s compact marina.
Brieuc spent the day putting the SIXTY SOLAR POWER through her paces – from slow electric cruising in the harbour to full hybrid power in open water. The focus was on how the boat handles in real conditions, how intuitive the hybrid system is for the skipper, and whether this 60-foot powercat lives up to its expedition promise. Maisonneuve also had time to explore the interior layout, talk to owners who were on board for Xquisite Yachts Day, and get a sense of the boat’s character at anchor.
The Xquisite Yachts base has the advantage of being very close to Grand Bahama Airport and the only shipyard in the Bahamas archipelago capable of hoisting wide beam multihulls. And to top it all off, the surroundings aren’t too shabby, are they?

Designed for Ocean Crossings
The SIXTY SOLAR POWER is designed for owners who want to cover long distances, live at anchor for extended periods, and significantly reduce their dependence on fossil fuels.
High freeboard, generous volumes, and protective superstructures give her the character of an expedition yacht rather than a sporty powercat. The multihull architecture keeps the draft moderate while providing natural stability and living space that feels like a much larger vessel.
Out on the water, she favors a serene approach. At 8 or 9 knots, the powercat moves in remarkable silence, with vibrations very well controlled. The crew who completed the transatlantic delivery confirmed she handled active weather fronts well, and the hybrid system proved its long-term reliability throughout. Five units have already found buyers.
There’s no lack of space on board: the foredeck, flybridge, and aft cockpit (with plenty of storage
space under the seats) are all dedicated to comfort and relaxation.

The Great Escape by Xquisite
A 4-Year Circumnavigation
During the Xquisite Yachts Day event that preceded the sea trial, Tamas Hamor officially announced The Great Escape – a 4-year circumnavigation open to all Xquisite catamaran owners, with the SIXTY SOLAR POWER as flagship. Departure is set from Freeport in early 2027, transiting the Panama Canal. Xquisite technicians will travel with the fleet, and the shipyard provides administrative support for customs and immigration along the way. 20+ owners have already expressed interest.
Multihulls World profiled Hamor alongside the sea trial. Bartender, then professional skipper, then shipyard founder – all in just over a decade. He builds innovative multihulls, runs without a dealer network, and operates a private marina in the Bahamas. The journalist noted that talking to Xquisite owners on board made one thing obvious: Tamas doesn’t need salespeople. His customers do the selling for him.
Parallel Hybrid Propulsion by e-Motion
The engineering core is a parallel hybrid system developed by Italian specialist e-Motion Hybrid Systems. Each hull carries a 440 HP Yanmar diesel paired with a 140 kW electric motor on shaft-driven propellers, backed by a 184 kWh lithium-ion battery bank and an 8 kW solar array.
Eight operating modes cover everything from silent zero-emission cruising to a combined boost of 24 knots. Economy mode – one diesel, one electric motor working together – was the preferred setting for her transatlantic crossing at a steady 8 knots. Propulsion and energy management are centralized on Simrad touchscreens with clear, intuitive readouts.
It’s hard to imagine a more complete outdoor helm station! Simrad was chosen for the electronics.
The high-efficiency solar panels, mainly located on the T-Top and the impressive stern arch, can produce up to 8 kW.

Generous Spaces On Board
The flybridge offers a full helm station alongside a large sheltered lounge and dining area, accessible from the nacelle or the cockpit. The foredeck and aft cockpit provide additional space with ample storage beneath the seats.
Inside, the main saloon benefits from panoramic windows and a seamless connection to the cockpit. The overall effect is high-end luxury without being ostentatious – materials chosen for durability and aesthetics, with plenty of storage throughout.
The very spacious flybridge combines a helm station with a large, sheltered lounge/dining area. Access is via either the nacelle or the cockpit.
The side decks are a little narrow, especially when the electrically operated gangway door is open.
The spacious U-shaped saloon area is offset to port. The galley is L-shaped and features a central island.
The king-size bed in the owner’s cabin offers a good view forward.
The prototype was configured with a large owner’s suite and two guest cabins, each with a private bathroom. Several layout options are available.
The only real compromise is the side-deck width – though the electrically operated gangway door itself is superyacht-grade.

Additionally, the layout prioritizes ease of handling and superior comfort, featuring a dedicated full-beam master suite.
Design Architecture & Build Standards
The SIXTY SOLAR POWER retains Xquisite’s established aesthetic but is engineered specifically for blue-water power cruising. A primary design requirement was “single-handed” capability; systems are laid out so that a couple or a solo skipper can operate this 62-footer safely.
Hull number one utilizing real glass hull windows for clarity and longevity rather than acrylics. She features flush decks that seamlessly connect the interior and exterior spaces. The structural design of the flybridge hardtop and aft arch allows for the integration of a significant solar array without compromising the yacht’s lines or stability.
Wide hydraulic swim platform and the signature arch design that protects the aft cockpit.
The aft cockpit features a signature arch housing solar panels and connects flush with the saloon, creating a massive indoor-outdoor entertainment area.
The flybridge helm station mirrors the lower controls, giving the skipper full command of navigation and the hybrid system from the upper deck.
Designed for independent entertaining, the flybridge is equipped with a full wet bar featuring a sink, BBQ, fridge, and ice maker, mirroring the amenities of the aft cockpit below.
Deck Layout & Living Areas
The deck layout maximizes usable space with a flush transition between the protected aft cockpit and the saloon. The cockpit is equipped with a wet bar, grill, and icemaker, amenities that are repeated on the expansive flybridge, which provides a second dining area and helm station.
Inside, the galley is set up for extended cruising, featuring a large central island with safety handrails, domestic-sized refrigeration, and induction cooking. Uniquely, this model utilizes the space above the master cabin as a recessed “front cockpit” lounge. Protected by a sunshade, this area offers a private exterior zone separate from the operational areas of the boat.
The galley feels like a home kitchen, featuring a large Bosch fridge, induction cooktop, and a central island with safety handrails.
A view of the spacious open-plan saloon, featuring a large kitchen island with the yacht’s scale model and a comfortable dining area to the right.
The starboard side of the saloon features a cozy L-shaped sofa with ottomans that can be rearranged to create a daybed or additional sleeping space.
Hybrid Propulsion & Maneuverability
The engineering centerpiece is the parallel hybrid propulsion system, combining twin 440 HP Yanmar diesels with two 130 kW electric motors and a 180 kW generator. This configuration offers redundancy and operational flexibility: higher speeds for coastal passages or silent, efficient cruising for long-range autonomy.
Handling is optimized via a sophisticated lower helm station equipped with triple touchscreens. Crucially, a dedicated side door allows the skipper immediate access to the side deck during docking maneuvers. Combined with remote yacht controllers and a hydraulically opening toy garage for easy tender deployment, her operation is intuitive for her size.
Full-Beam Master Accommodation

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.
The award-nominated Xquisite SIXTY SOLAR SAIL combines striking aesthetics with impressive offshore performance
Spacious main cockpit area, perfect for alfresco dining, entertaining, and enjoying the surroundings
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.
State-of-the-art helm station featuring large displays and push-button controls for effortless handling
Aft cockpit details include an integrated grill and dedicated seating for enhanced outdoor living
The signature solar arch integrates high-efficiency panels, powering the SIXTY SOLAR SAIL sustainably
Elevated flybridge lounge adjacent to the helm offers panoramic views and a secondary social area
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.
Bright, panoramic saloon and fully-equipped galley create a luxurious central living space onboard
Opening overhead skylights enhance natural light and provide excellent ventilation throughout the saloon
Dedicated navigation station serves as an onboard office and command center with integrated electronics
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.

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.

Multihulls World praises the innovative X5 Plus of Xquisite Yachts
X5 PLUS A CRUISING MACHINE
Derived directly from the X5, the Plus retains an unconventional silhouette that may dissuade some from going beyond appearances… but that would be a shame: those frightened off would be missing out on a beautiful cruising machine with intelligent specifications. This new model benefits from the experience gained during 6 years of the X5: the bows have been modified, the displacement is lighter by two tons, the sail plan has increased in area and the equipment is even more complete.
The X5 Plus is perfectly suited to the cruising families that have chosen it. Rigorous design by a team of experienced sailors (the seas off South Africa are an excellent learning environment), meticulous construction, exemplary deck plan, abundant and perfectly functional equipment, remarkable overall quality of execution, tempered glass skylights: these are the strong points of this catamaran that deserves to be recognized.

X5 PLUS UNE MACHINE À VOYAGER
Directement issu du X5, le Plus conserve une silhouette non conventionnelle qui peut dissuader certains d’aller au-delà des apparences… Ce serait dommage: ces visiteurs frileux passeraient à côté d’une belle machine de voyage au cahier des charges intelligent. Ce nouveau modèle profite de l’expérience acquise pendant 6 ans sur les X5: les étraves sont modifiées, le déplacement allégé de deux tonnes, le plan de voilure gonflé et l’équipement encore plus complet.
Le X5 Plus est en effet parfaitement adapté aux familles voyageuses qui l’ont choisi. Conception rigoureuse par une équipe de marins expérimentés – les mers d’Afrique du Sud sont une excellente école –, réalisation soignée, plan de pont exemplaire, équipement abondant parfaitement fonctionnel, qualité d’exécution générale remarquable, puits de lumière en verre trempé: tels sont les points forts de ce catamaran qui gagne à être connu.
