Xquisite continues its multimillion-dollar transformation of Running Mon!

Xquisite continues its multimillion-dollar transformation of Running Mon!
PHOTO: TRISTAN GIBSON
Xquisite Yachts’ multimillion-dollar transformation of the former Running Mon Marina and Resort into its Xquisite Catamaran Center that will serve as the company’s main charter operation, is cruising along nicely.
Xquisite’s Chief Executive Officer Tamas Hamor said that $2 million has already been pumped into renovations of the property, including the opening of the charter company office, dock facility, marina, restaurant and bar, and the roof of the hotel building.
While he is excited about the project’s progress since sealing the purchase deal for the property in September 2022, Hamor said the company still faces a major challenge with the canal passage.
“We have already spent $100,000 in clearing the canal, but the problem that we face is a recurring one,” – he said.
The challenge with the canal, he explained, is not an issue with dredging, but one where the sand, after being removed, keeps coming back and building up.
“After every storm, the sand returns and sits in the canal. The only way to solve that is to build more breakwater with boulders. However, the prices we’ve gotten are exorbitant and that is the challenge right now”.

He said the large catamarans can pass through the waterway at mid to high tide, but the larger branded boats that the company is known for will have difficulty with depth when the sand is high.
Despite the challenge, Hamor said coming to Grand Bahama was a great decision for Xquisite.
Xquisite Yachts builds its vessels around the world, including at Portugal and South Africa properties. To date, 43 of the company’s multimillion-dollar catamarans have been sold worldwide. Hamor started the company in 2014 with the vision of not only building luxury cruising catamarans, but also providing the after-sale service and charters.
That led to the need for a base with a proper service center where owners can bring in their boats for commissioning, repair, upgrades, maintenance and have a gathering hub. “This is our base where we house many services, but the main focus is the marina which is already operational,” Hamor explained.
At this point, the dock, marina and service company, where the vessels are repaired, are open. “Right now, we can fit about 20 catamarans in the dock, but by the end of the year, we want to build slips around the restaurant, which will double the current capacity.”
The marina is open to vessels other than his own brand, and to accommodate the international clientele, Hamor said customs and immigration officers are on property, so boaters coming from the United States and other foreign countries are cleared on arrival.
“We have come a long way, but there is still further to go” – he said, explaining that with the marina side of the project operational, the next phase is converting the existing 30 hotel rooms into one and two-bedroom luxury apartment units.
Speaking about the charter side of the business, Hamor said one catamaran is currently available with a captain and crew, and there are plans to add two more to the fleet by year’s end.
“So, that is growing pretty nicely. There are also plans in the works to launch two sailing clubs. One would be targeting university students and the second, a charity effort for underprivileged children, who otherwise would not have the opportunity. We have not worked out the details as yet, but it is in the plans” – Hamor explained.
It is anticipated that at the end of the project, the investment will be $3 million to $5 million over a two to three-year period.
We would like to thank The Nassau Guardian for the news!

Xquisite 30 SportCat Review:
The High-Performance Catamaran That’s Perfect for Novice Sailors
All about Xquisite’s newest offering, the 30 SportCat, which is designed to be the ideal training boat
for novice sailors who want to fast learn how to sail – Reviewed by Multihull Sailor

Xquisite 30 SportCat – the best training boat
Xquisite catamarans are well known as comfortable, well-built long-distance cruising cats with all of the luxury and accouterments one would expect – the antithesis, in other words, of minimalism. Which is why Xquisite’s new offering, the 30 Sportcat designed by François Perus, causes a double take of neck-twinging proportions.
With a rotating carbon mast, carbon deck beams, displacement of just 1,872 pounds, North 3Di sails, an interior whose greatest luxury is a mattress, and a construction methodology that lets it be dismantled and fit onto a trailer or inside a 40-foot shipping container, this little rocket is just begging to be sailed fast – and that is precisely its purpose, according to Tamas Hamor, Xquisite’s founder, and CEO.
“That was the goal – the best training boat for people to learn how to sail, but it’s fast enough for people who know how to sail to have fun” – he says. “Half of our owners buying new boats have never sailed before. We want to bring them here and teach them sailing.”
Super simple to sail, everything is small
Xquisite aims to help all of their new owners bridge this gap with a two-week training period. But actually learning to sail is something different, and that’s where the 30 Sportcat comes in. Hamor wanted to create a boat that’s light, fun, and exciting to sail without the complexities of daggerboards or foils. “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.”
Another impetus was the establishment of Xquisite’s new base in Freeport, Bahamas, which was to be fully opened by this summer and will include a sail training school.
Owners who are waiting for their boats to be built can come to the base and learn on the 30 Sportcat in the meantime. Hamor envisions fun regattas where a group of the boats sail to the Berry Islands, 50 miles away, to spend an overnight on the water. With a 10-hp outboard (optional electric), the boat has two berths aft in each hull, sail storage forward, a portable toilet, and a small sink. It’s camping, he says, and that’s also part of the fun.
At $285,000 a whack, it’s also expensive fun, but that hasn’t stopped some Xquisite owners from already ordering the boats to keep at their homes while sailing their big cats elsewhere.
OA: 30′ 4″ | Beam: 16′ 11″ | Draft: 2’ 6″ | Displ.: 1,872 Ibs
