SIXTY SOLAR POWER
Oceanic Range
Presented at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, the SIXTY SOLAR POWER leverages our decade of manufacturing experience to deliver a long-range power yacht. In this detailed video walkthrough , Gwen Dorning from Multihulls World takes us aboard to inspect the new model, which carries Xquisite’s signature design language, including the distinctive aft arch.
This flagship power cat features advanced hybrid propulsion, offering versatile operating profiles: a top speed of 20 knots under the twin 440 HP Yanmar diesels or a range of 3,000 nm at 6 knots in electric mode. Supported by 8 kWp of solar panels, she is designed for significant energy autonomy. 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
- A unique perspective looking into the master cabin from the forward cockpit. This large electric window opens at the touch of a button, connecting the interior with the private front deck and providing excellent cross-ventilation.
- Overhead Skylights, positioned directly above the master bed, these large opening hatches flood the cabin with natural light and provide a perfect view for star-gazing at night.
- Master Walk-In Wardrobe, located on the port side of the master suite, this dedicated dressing area features extensive storage, deep closets, and a bright workspace/vanity area.
- The ensuite bathroom in the master cabin includes an extra-large walk-in shower equipped with a rain showerhead and a wooden bench for comfort.
The power cat’s configurable layout allows for a master suite that occupies the full beam of the forward section. The cabin features a centerline king-size bed beneath large skylights. A standout practical feature is the electrically opening front window, which provides excellent natural cross-ventilation through the interior, reducing reliance on air conditioning.
The suite includes a substantial walk-in wardrobe and a bathroom with an oversized shower. The starboard hull accommodates a VIP cabin with a workspace and a forward guest cabin. Both guest spaces benefit from large opening portholes integrated into the hull windows, a standard feature ensuring fresh air flow below decks.

Solar Capacity & Electrical Systems
Prioritizing energy autonomy, she is equipped with an 8 kWp solar array using walkable glass panels distributed across the flybridge hardtop, aft arch, and foredeck. This system charges a high-capacity Lithium-Ion battery bank, allowing her to run essential “hotel loads” silently at anchor without running a generator. The electrical architecture is designed for redundancy, with the hybrid drives acting as high-output chargers while underway to automate energy management.

- The portside guest cabin features a large bed and shares the same high-quality finish and natural light as the owner’s suite.
- Gwen demonstrates the large opening porthole in the guest cabin, a key feature ensuring excellent natural ventilation throughout the entire yacht.
- Lower Helm Station designed for single-handed operation, the lower helm includes three large touchscreens and a side door for quick access to the deck during docking.
- The digital control panel for the E-Motion hybrid system, shown here in “Full Electric Propulsion” mode, allows the captain to manage power sources easily.
- Walking along the side deck, Gwen points out the impressive height of the glass windows, which provide the interior with protection and panoramic views.
Side Deck & Crew Access – A view of the starboard side deck looking aft; the door visible here provides separate access to the crew quarters or utility room directly from the cockpit.- 8kW Solar Array – A closer look at the glass solar panels, which generate up to 8kW of power. This system is strategically distributed across three zones: the aft arch, the flybridge roof, and the foredeck.
- Toy Management – A convenient built-in inflator/deflator station in the aft cockpit allows for quick setup of fenders and inflatable water toys.
The front deck features a private recessed lounge area with sunpads and a shade awning, located directly above the master cabin.- Hydraulic Garage Access, Gwen demonstrates the electrically operated transom that lifts open to reveal a dedicated storage garage for paddleboards and other water toys.
