A New Milestone in Catamaran Design
Introduced by Xquisite Yachts, the 30′ SportCat marks a significant achievement in modern catamaran design.
Crafted with precision in Poland, this vessel is a testament to our dedication to excellence in the nautical world since our inception in 2014.
Originally developed for the Xquisite sailing school in Grand Bahama, the 30′ SportCat serves as an exceptional platform for both novice and experienced sailors to enjoy the thrill of sailing. Its lightweight design, tipping the scales at just 1,875 lbs empty, makes it easily transportable and quick to set up, inviting explorers to venture into new waters.
