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.
