Xquisite Yachts is thrilled to announce that our new flagship sailing model, the SIXTY SOLAR SAIL, has been awarded a place in SAIL Magazine’s “Top 10 Best Boats of 2025”.
This highly regarded accolade, featured in their January/February issue, celebrates the SIXTY SOLAR SAIL’s groundbreaking design, sustainable innovations, and luxury features. Having already earned recognition through prestigious nominations, with more expected, this win further solidifies her reputation as a benchmark in futureproof modular yacht design.
A Heroic Journey to Showcase Excellence
The SIXTY SOLAR SAIL made her dramatic debut at the Annapolis Sailboat Show following an impressive 8,000-nautical-mile voyage straight from South Africa to Maryland. She braved a storm-laden Atlantic, arriving in excellent condition to a hero’s welcome just two days into the show. This extraordinary journey, combined with her standout design and features, captivated attendees and industry professionals alike.
Features That Won Over SAIL Magazine
SAIL Magazine’s review team – Editor-in-Chief Wendy Mitman Clarke, Managing Editor Lydia Mullan, Charter Editor Zuzana Prochazka, and Technical Editor Adam Cove – highlighted specific features of the SIXTY SOLAR SAIL that earned her a place among the year’s top boats:
A Culture of Innovation and Excellence
“The new flagship – even if it’s still the first hull prototype model – had enough innovation and wow factor to impress the whole review team”
“I love the bold thinking inherent in that juxtaposition.”
“Xquisite inspires an impressive company culture of innovation and continuous improvement. The Solar 60 is a remarkable result of those efforts.”
