Types of X-Yachts

X-Yachts builds different types of sailboats, with a fleet ranging from 35 to 65 feet, offering options for both cruising and performance sailing. The brand features three main series of sailing boats: XCruising, XPerformance, and XRange. The XRange series consists of five models: X40, X43, X46, X49, and X56, each designed to suit different preferences and activities. X-Yachts offers several distinct ranges—ideal for tailoring your x-yachts charter experience to your crew and sailing style.

Pure X Range (X4⁰, X4³, X4⁶, X4⁹, X5⁶): The Pure X range offers a variety of experiences and features across its five models, combining modern comfort and performance—easy to handle with the crew you have, while still delivering a genuinely rewarding sailing feel.

XCruising Range (Xc 47, Xc 50): The XCruising line is aimed at sailors who want to cruise properly—more volume, a steady motion, and the kind of confidence that suits longer passages. X-Yachts describes it as their dedicated long-distance cruiser range, and notes the Xc line’s history and recognition (including the range launch and awards). 

XPerformance Range (Xp): The Xp models lean further into speed and race-bred responsiveness while maintaining comfort for real cruising. The current number of models in the XPerformance series includes the Xp 44 and Xp 50, with the Xp 44 introduced as the first in the range. X-Yachts’ Xp 44, for example, is described as the first in the Xperformance range and was named Sailing World’s “Yacht of the Year” in 2014.

XRacing Range (XR 41): For sailors chasing modern race performance, the XR 41 is presented by X-Yachts as the first model in their new XRacing range—developed in collaboration with accomplished sailors and technical partners, with a clear focus on winning under rating rules.

The XRacing range is designed to improve speed and innovation, offering high-performance yachts that are competitive on the racecourse and can be configured for sport cruising.

Crewed or Bareboat Options

X-yachts charter is available in several formats:

X-Yachts are available for charter upon request, allowing for a personalized and customer-driven booking process. With a global dealer network of 40 independent dealers, X-Yachts supports charter clients worldwide.

Bareboat Charter: for licensed sailors who want full independence.

Skippered Charter: add a professional skipper if you want to relax and fully enjoy the sailing.

Crewed Charter: selected larger models may be available with crew in some destinations.

License Requirements

For bareboat x-yachts charter, you typically need:

• A valid sailing license (such as ICC, RYA Day Skipper, or an equivalent national certificate)

• A VHF radio operator’s certificate (mandatory in many destinations)

If you don’t hold a valid license, adding a skipper or choosing a crewed charter is always an option.

Preparing for Your Trip

An X-Yachts charter is at its best with a bit of planning:

Choose a model that matches your crew’s experience and your desired route pace (Pure X vs Xc vs Xp vs XR).

X-Yachts are designed for adventures across the globe, making them ideal for worldwide travel and exploration.

Review local wind patterns—especially in higher-wind areas like the Cyclades, where an X-Yachts really comes alive.

X-Yachts builds approximately 150 boats per year, demonstrating the brand's experience and reliability.

During check-in, spend time on sail handling systems, reefing, docking approach, and onboard power/water routines—so you can sail confidently from day one.

Sustainability and Environmental Responsibility

X-Yachts’ focus on durability and controlled composite production methods (such as vacuum infusion and post-curing) reflects a build philosophy centred on structural quality and longevity—key factors for responsible long-term use in charter fleets. X-Yachts
