    NautiStyles Full X5 Plus Walkthrough Video

    & What’s Next For Xquisite Yachts

    JUMP TO VIDEO

    While sailing in the Bahamas, we met a couple anchored next to us, cruising aboard a cool-looking Catamaran.

    After having some sundowners onboard their beautiful and shiny new Yacht, we got a full tour and were extremely impressed… so we have decided that we absolutely MUST bring a Yacht Tour of one of these to the channel.

    So welcome aboard on XQUISITE X5 PLUS CATAMARAN!
    We loved the quality of the build, the layout, the attention to detail, and the unique features.

    Following a chat with the Founder & CEO of Xquisite Yachts – Tamas, we have become fans of this Brand with a bright and exciting future ahead.

    Make sure to stay till the end to hear what’s in store: the ECO innovation, the     Solar expansion, the Hybrid Silent Future of this Boat Brand, and the ground-breaking attention to customer aftercare which is definitely not the standard in this industry and it’s customers are raving about.

    Step Aboard and prepare to be amazed…

    The NautiStyles team did a wonderfully detailed walk-through:

    They then did a one-on-one interview with owner Tamas to discuss two new projects:

    The dual 60 solar-powered catamarans: one sail one power, and the new Xquisite owners facilities build happening in The Bahamas

    • Xquisite Sixty Solar Sail

      The 60 Solar Power

      60 Solar Power comes with 6kw solar panels with advanced lithium-ion batteries and a very advanced hybrid-propulsion system.

      The yacht comes with an 80kw battery pack that can charge in 30 minutes. We are working with e-Motion hybrids systems from Italy, which recently won an innovation award.

      We have designed these to be more “future proof” by using a parallel hybrid system.

      It has a big diesel engine with an electric motor onto the same drive train, so you can have the best of both worlds: electric-only or you can use diesel which opens up multiple possibilities.

      Reduces engine hours, reduces fuel consumption, and reduces maintenance.

    • Xquisite - Bahamas

      The Bahamas: A New Multi-Purpose Facility For Xquisite Owners

      It’s our latest project, and it’s a big deal.

      Xquisite Yachts is known for its quality of product and after-sales service; it’s pretty much unmatched in the industry. Now, we are taking it to the next level:

      We will have our own marina and boat yard, where people can come in, haul out with an a la carte menu or store your catamaran there for hurricane season, and a training center for our customers.

      Meanwhile, we put you up in a nice hotel with a restaurant on site.

      Further details will come in the next few months as the build phases gear up.

    Thank you so much to the NautiStyles team for sharing such a great walk-through.
    Your enthusiasm is refreshing.
