Xquisite SIXTY SOLAR SAIL: “It’s the future”

filmed by Practical Sailor at the Annapolis Sailboat Show

It was a busy day at the Annapolis Boat Show when Tim Labute, the Editor in Chief of Practical Sailor Magazine, ran into our CEO, Tamas Hamor. It was an opportunity to move past the spec sheets and explore the thoughtful, real-world details that define the Xquisite SIXTY SOLAR SAIL.
As The Practical Sailor puts it, the boat is full of “extremely clever things” and “this boat was designed by sailors who cross oceans and actually live on boats.” Add true single-handed sailing capabilities and next-level design features, and you have a vessel that is truly “the future”.

    Marks the FUTURE

    Cruising World Reviews the Xquisite SIXTY SOLAR SAIL

    Sixty Solar Sail

    “SOME SAY THAT IT TAKES A VILLAGE TO ACCOMPLISH GREAT GOALS, BUT WHEN CROSSING OCEANS ABOARD THE SELF-RELIANT XQUISITE SIXTY SOLAR SAIL, YOU TAKE THE VILLAGE WITH YOU.”

    – by Herb McCormick, Cruising World
    The recent review by Herb McCormick in Cruising World (June/July 2025) captures the innovative essence of Xquisite Yachts in a vividly painted journey aboard the Xquisite Sixty Solar Sail. McCormick, with his characteristic insightful and engaging style, portrays the vessel as a groundbreaking step into the future of cruising. He describes stepping aboard as “like entering some sort of otherworldly, waterborne version of The Matrix”, immediately setting the tone for a vessel that’s anything but ordinary.
    Xquisite Sixty Solar Sail Tamas Hamor, CEO, Xquisite Yachts

    The Visionary Behind the Helm

    At the heart of Xquisite Yachts is founder Tamas Hamor, whom McCormick playfully suggests “might just be the most interesting man in the marine industry.” Hamor’s simple declaration, “‘I like to solve problems,’ he told us, which seemed to sum him up well”, speaks volumes about the driving force behind the Sixty Solar Sail’s innovations. McCormick notes how, “In the Sixty, Hamor taken his explosive creativity to new levels in detail after detail.”

    The Xquisite Genesis:

    A Journey of Resilience

    The Xquisite story began not in a boardroom but on the open ocean. Tamas and his wife Sara’s voyage across the Pacific, which included a dismasting near French Polynesia, fueled their determination. This experience, coupled with challenges in building their next boat, led them to establish Xquisite Yachts. Today, their cats are built in South Africa and Spain, with Xquisite now operating a full-service marina and resort in Freeport, Bahamas, dedicated to sales, charter, service, training, fine dining, and more.

    Aesthetics and Design:

    A “Nautical Starship Enterprise”

    McCormick was clearly struck by the Sixty Solar Sail’s unique look. While the earlier multiaward winner X5 model reminded a Boat of the Year team judge of a “Nike basketball sneaker”, he asserts that with the Sixty, “any semblance of awkwardness” is gone. Instead, it “has the sleek, streamlined, contemporary appearance of a nautical Starship Enterprise.”
    From its “powerful, purposeful mien” with reverse bows and integral sprit to the “low-slung, streamlined coachroof” and carbon-fiber “Park Avenue” boom, the yacht exudes advanced design. “To say there’s a lot going on is an understatement,” McCormick remarks on its myriad of well-thought-out features.

    Technical Innovation

    for Self-Reliant Cruising

    The Sixty Solar Sail is engineered for autonomy and performance. Its substantial 7 kW solar array (comprising nearly 40 individual panels) feeds a 60 kWh lithium battery bank and a robust 48-volt electrical system, designed to “cover all house loads at anchor, including air conditioning, which negates the need for an onboard diesel generator.”
    For propulsion, it features an optional hybrid setup: two 110 hp Yanmar diesel engines with sail drives, paired with 15 kW electric motors/generators. These can operate in regeneration mode under sail or propel the boat electrically before the diesels take over. The hull, a vacuum-infused foam-core laminate with vinylester resin, is meticulously hand-laid above the waterline.

    Superior Sailing, Uncompromised Comfort

    Designed for ease of handling, often by a couple just as Tamas and Sara started, the Sixty Solar Sail doesn’t skimp on performance or luxury. McCormick recounts their test sail: “We started off with the big code sail on a beam reach and effortlessly glided along at just over 10 knots.” Even when switching down to the genoa, “we sheeted in everything and still clocked a respectable 7-plus knots.”
    His conclusion? “On the Sixty, it was clear that making rapid miles will never be an issue.” The interior spaces are equally impressive, from the “grand owner’s hull, to port, has a king-size berth; a lounging area with a couch and desk,” to the well-appointed guest staterooms. Seamless integration between indoor and outdoor areas enhances the generous living space.

    The Verdict:

    Herb McCormick aptly concludes that while owners of Xquisite Yachts might not always be on epic voyages, “when they do, they will set sail in one of the most innovative, interesting catamarans traversing any ocean.” The Xquisite Sixty Solar Sail, through his lens, is a testament to visionary design and a commitment to the future of cruising.

        Xquisite Sixty Solar Sail: High-Tech Luxury Meets Offshore Capability in Multihulls World Magazine’s Test

        Written by Xquisite Yachts on . Posted in News, Press.

        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.

        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.

        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.

        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.

            The Xquisite Sixty Solar Sail Catamaran Makes
            the Most of the Sun

            By Mark Pillsbury – Cruising World

            A High-Tech, Solar-Powered Catamaran Designed for Self-Reliant Cruising Couples

            Advanced Solar Technology and Energy Systems

            Packed with solar panels and lithium batteries, powered by a hybrid system that incorporates diesel engines and electric drive/power generators, and fitted out with a versatile and powerful sail plan, the Xquisite SIXTY SOLAR SAIL catamaran is intended to be a long-range cruiser that a self-reliant couple can handle on their own and liveaboard for extended periods.
            At anchor, the boat’s 6 kilowatts worth of solar panels, 60-kilowatt lithium battery bank and 48-volt electrical system will cover house loads, including air conditioning, eliminating the need for an onboard generator. Under sail, its electric motors, mounted between twin Yanmar 110 hp diesel engines and their saildrives, can run in regeneration mode to replenish the batteries or, when powering, propel the boat for extended periods before the diesels take over to drive both the boat and high-output alternators.
            Like earlier 54-foot models, the SIXTY SOLAR SAIL reflects the voyaging experience of the company’s founders, Tamas Hamor and Sara Hajdu, who circumnavigated together aboard multihulls before acquiring and finishing construction of a catamaran in South Africa that launched their new company, Xquisite Yachts, and made its American debut with the original Xquisite X5 at the Annapolis boat show in 2016.

              Sixty Solar Sail

            Designed for Easy Access and Couple-Friendly Sailing

            Having sailed as a shorthanded crew who maintained their boats themselves, the Xquisite team puts an emphasis on access to critical gear, such as shaft seals, pumps and steering components. Digital manuals, developed in-house, are extensive and cover parts, repairs and maintenance. And as importantly, an emphasis is put on sail handling that’s manageable for a couple, where one partner is often alone on watch.
            At the deck-level helm station, protected by a windshield and overhead Bimini, all sail control lines run to a pair of electric winches mounted on each side of the wheel. The square-top, in-boom-furling, full-batten main can be set or reduced in size easily at the touch of a button, and the skipper can match headsail to conditions by choosing to fly a self-tacking jib, genoa or code sail, all set on electric furlers. A carbon-fiber mast and boom also contribute to smooth sailing by reducing weight aloft.

            A Balance of Performance and Comfort

            Designed by Bill Dixon of Dixon Yacht Design, the SIXTY SOLAR SAIL is a big boat. Seen at the dock, it towers above other similar-size catamarans because in order to present narrow hulls at the waterline for proper sailing performance – and still have interior room to allow for walk-around athwartships king-size berths aft – the cabin soles are elevated to take advantage of increased beam as the hulls flare approaching the bridge deck.
            But to be clear, the Sixty Solar is still a cruising catamaran, loaded with creature comforts and plenty of room for belongings, provisions and toys.
            Let’s start with the toys. A carbon-fiber crane on the transom takes the work out of launching and retrieving a tender, while an optional hydraulic swim platform between the hulls makes it a snap to lift up to three paddleboards and move them into a dedicated storage locker under a seat that spans the transom. The seat also incorporates a large grill and sink. Under the starboard cockpit stairs, there’s another compartment designed to hold scuba tanks and a compressor.

            A Spacious and Versatile Interior Design

            The cockpit features a table for dining alfresco and plenty of space to lounge in the shade. Just forward, a glass door slides open into the salon. Step inside, and tasteful and practical living spaces await. A large opening centerline electric hatch forward provides a lot of natural ventilation, as do four overhead hatches. A dining table in the forward starboard corner converts to a coffee table or can lower farther to create a large bed – a perfect spot to enjoy movies on the 50-inch smart television. The well-equipped galley includes an island counter, electric cooktop and oven, and a house-size fridge.
            In the port hull, the owner’s suite is truly spacious. There’s the aforementioned king-size berth aft, a sitting area with a couch and desk amidships, loads of closet space, and a head and shower forward. Two guest cabins, both with athwartships bunks and en suite heads and showers, are to starboard. During the day, both hulls bathe in light from multiple ports.
            Wide side decks, ample handholds, and solid stainless-steel life rails running bow to stern topsides are all additional signs that the SIXTY SOLAR SAIL is built to be a comfortable and safe passagemaker, one that will leave a little less of a carbon trail in its wake.

              SIXTY SOLAR SAIL In-Depth: CEO Reveals the Engineering Excellence Behind Xquisite’s New Performance Catamaran

              Written by Xquisite Yachts on . Posted in News.

              SIXTY SOLAR SAIL In-Depth:

              CEO Reveals the Engineering Excellence Behind
              Xquisite’s New Performance Catamaran

              Video: Sixty Solar Sail Video Walktrough
              In this comprehensive walkthrough, Tamas Hamor, Founder and CEO of Xquisite Yachts, takes us on a detailed exploration of their new sailing flagship, revealing the innovative engineering and thoughtful design that emerged from five years of meticulous development.
              Following her successful world debut at the Annapolis Boat Show, where she demonstrated impressive performance of 10 knots in just 12 knots of wind, this remarkable vessel showcases Xquisite’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of luxury catamaran design.

              The Evolution of Excellence

              The SIXTY SOLAR SAIL represents the pinnacle of Xquisite’s sailing catamaran evolution. Beginning with the acclaimed X5, which saw 16 hulls produced, the company progressed to the enhanced X5 Plus. Now, Xquisite presents two new sailing models: the 54 E-Plus and their sailing flagship. This strategic evolution demonstrates Xquisite’s commitment to continuous innovation in the sailing catamaran sector. As the company expands its range to include power catamarans, she stands as the flagship of their sailing line, embodying their expertise in performance sailing yacht design.

              Engineering Innovation

              The development journey involved a complete rethinking of catamaran design. The Xquisite team spent a year analyzing every component’s weight, leading to a revolutionary approach: expanding to a 60-foot platform while maintaining the equipment package of a smaller vessel. This innovative solution, combined with naval architecture by Bill Dixon of Dixon Yacht Design, delivers superior performance without compromising luxury.

              Single-Handed Sailing Mastery

              What truly sets this performance catamaran apart is her sophisticated single-handed sailing capability. Every aspect has been engineered for efficient operation by one person:
              • Comprehensive camera system for sail management
              • Electric and hydraulic sail handling systems
              • Centralized helm control station
              • Protected helm position with complete visibility
              • Integrated safety features

              Home Comfort Meets Maritime Excellence

              This innovative yacht challenges conventional compromises between comfort and performance. She features:
              • Full-size home appliances throughout
              • King-size walk-around beds in master and VIP suites
              • Innovative boom design with integrated shade system
              • Up to 6 kW of solar power capacity
              • 48V DC system for efficient energy management

              Advanced Technology Integration

              The new 60-footer showcases Xquisite’s commitment to cutting-edge technology with features including:
              • Hybrid propulsion system
              • Regenerative power capabilities under sail
              • Advanced monitoring systems
              • Integrated smart controls
              • State-of-the-art navigation equipment

              Space Optimization

              Every inch of this luxury vessel has been thoughtfully designed for extended living aboard:
              • Master suite occupying an entire hull
              • Dedicated water toys and diving equipment storage
              • Multiple entertainment areas
              • Innovative fly lounge concept
              • Expansive storage solutions throughout

              Current Availability

              The exceptional market response to Xquisite’s new flagship has resulted in the first five hulls being sold out. Current availability:

                  Xquisite 30′ Sportcat: Sail Magazine’s In-Depth Review of Best Boats 2024 Nominee

                  Written by Xquisite Yachts on . Posted in News, Press.

                  Xquisite 30′ Sportcat:
                  Sail Magazine’s In-Depth Review of Best Boats 2024 Nominee

                  A Closer Look at the Xquisite 30′ Sportcat

                  Sail Magazine’s recent review of the Xquisite 30′ SportCat highlights its unique features and impressive performance.
                  This yacht is a remarkable departure from Xquisite Yachts’ typical offerings of luxurious bluewater cruising cats.
                  Designed by Francois Perus, the 30-foot catamaran is crafted for speed and ease of handling, making it a thrilling option for both training and leisure. With a lightweight design that includes carbon beams, a rotating carbon mast, and a sleek profile, the Sportcat delivers an agile and responsive sailing experience.

                  Review Highlights from Sail Magazine

                  Sail Magazine’s review of the 30 Sportcat underscores its dynamic performance and training potential. The catamaran was described as “enticing”, likened to a drag racer tugging at her dock lines during the Annapolis Sailboat Show. Achieving speeds of 16 to 18 knots in 14 knots of true wind, this performance is powered by advanced North Sails 3Di foils and a design that enables sailing up to one-and-a-half times the wind speed on a beam reach.
                  With a focus on simplicity, the Sportcat is designed without the complexities of daggerboards or foils, making it accessible for new sailors while still appealing to experienced hands.
                  “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”
                  – Tamas Hamor, Xquisite’s founder and CEO explained

                  Performance Meets Practicality

                  While the Xquisite 30 Sportcat boasts impressive sailing capabilities, its interior is deliberately minimalist, focused on essentials rather than luxury. Her construction allows it to be dismantled and transported easily, fitting into a 40-foot shipping container or on a trailer. The catamaran includes basic accommodations suitable for short overnights, including space for a mattress and basic amenities like a chemical toilet, making it perfect for adventurous sailors who want to camp out under the stars.
                  The Sportcat’s minimal displacement is achieved through an infusion process using e-glass, vinylester, and carbon reinforcement. This construction, along with the use of netting rather than heavy decking, ensures that the boat remains light without sacrificing strength or durability. Standard features include twin fixed keels with kick-up rudders, a 10-hp outboard option, and essential sailing hardware from Harken.
