Forbes Horton Yacht Brokers is proud to be the exclusive dealer for X-Yachts Chesapeake and the Mid-Atlantic States.
X-Yachts has been creating winning cruiser – racer designs for over three decades. Today X-Yachts offers a line of cruising boats (the Xc Range) which includes the Xc 35, Xc 38, Xc 45 and Xc 50 as well as Performance Racing Yachts (the Xp Range) featuring the Xp 38, Xp 44, Xp 50, and Xp 55, and the latest line of luxury X-Yachts, the X Range. These “X” yachts include the X4⁰, X4³, X4⁶ X4⁹ and X6⁵.
A yacht which delivers Superior Sailing Pleasure is a yacht which sails well in a variety of wind conditions and sea states, offers luxurious comfort, is safe and reliable and provides pure enjoyment when at sea. Every detail of an X-Yacht, from the hull lines to the world-class craftsmanship, stem from this idea. From the first lines to the final fitting, X-Yachts are built for pure sailing pleasure, Step aboard an X-Yacht and discover what pure sailing is all about.
X-Yachts are designed by sailors, for sailors. Every X-Yacht is designed to perform superbly in all conditions and in all sail configurations. However, many of the very same factors which make the Xp models race winners, also ensure that they are enjoyable fast cruisers. Strength, stiffness and a high ballast to weight ratio are key to creating yachts which offer superlative sailing pleasure and performance.
One of the main differences between the Xperformance and Xcruising ranges is the hull design. The Xc range, with its deeper hull sections, provides a greater interior volume for tanks and other essential cruising equipment. Deeper V-shaped forward hull sections ensure a smooth and comfortable motion when the yacht is sailed into waves (either under sail or powered by the engine.) “This yacht is designed for someone who dreams of cruising but does not want to go slowly” Juan Pablo del Solar Kolbach, Xc 50 Owner, Chile.
Designed to complement both the existing two ranges, Xperformance (Xp) and Xcruising (Xc), X models offer both excellent sailing capabilities and a modern spacious interior. The “X” was conceived as true dual-purpose yacht. The guiding principle is that the X range should be competitive when sailed with a full crew and also easily handled by a couple or family.

In 1979, one of today’s most successful and quality orientated production yards was established in Denmark.
During the 1980’s, X-Yachts designed and built winning IOR yachts for World Class Racing. Their success with this market attracted the attention of the cruising market, which was then looking for fast, high quality and comfortable sailing yachts. It seemed very clear that X-Yachts should use their boat building experience from the fast racers and combine them with building high performance cruising yachts.
X-Yachts always strives to optimize both performance and comfort, and believes that they go hand in hand. A yacht that sails efficiently, accelerates well, heels less, and punches through waves better, is a yacht that will give you the most comfort, is safer, and will deliver a completely enjoyable trustworthy sail whatever the conditions.
