What this builder is
Xquisite Yachts says it was established in 2014 to launch a new brand of sailing and power catamarans, aiming at the ultimate luxury cruising yacht in which safety and innovative design go together. The boats are built by what it calls a team of highly experienced catamaran builders and sold worldwide exclusively under the Xquisite name; the company describes itself as a boutique boatyard that builds only a limited number of yachts each year, and its registered office is in Road Town, Tortola, in the British Virgin Islands. The sail range runs from the 9.25-metre 30 SportCat, a trailer-transportable sport cat with a 10 HP outboard, through the 16.63-metre 54 E-Plus, the next step of the award-winning X5 line with Yanmar diesels and Integrel electric drives, to the 18.80-metre Sixty Solar Sail; the power range has the 40 PowerCat with inboard or outboard engines, the 52 Exploration with an optional ocean hybrid drive, and the 18.98-metre Sixty Solar Power with an E-Motion hybrid system. The sixty-footers and the 40 PowerCat carry Dixon Yacht Design's name. Around the boats the company runs the Xquisite Catamaran Center marina in Freeport, Bahamas, a charter arm with a try-before-you-buy offer, certified pre-owned sales of the retired X5 Plus, and The Great Xcape, a four-year assisted circumnavigation in company.
Who sails them
Xquisite buyers are couples and families who want to cross oceans and live aboard without giving up home comforts — generator, air-conditioning, watermaker, washing machine and digital switching come as standard — and who like to sail a big catamaran short-handed, or want a power cat that runs on sun and batteries for long, quiet stays at anchor.
Signature models
The X5 line collected Best Boat, Best System and Most Innovative Sailboat awards and lives on in the 54 E-Plus; the 30 SportCat was a Boat of the Year winner in 2022, and the Sixty Solar Sail and Sixty Solar Power, drawn by Dixon Yacht Design, carry the brand's solar-and-hybrid idea to sixty feet.
Strengths
The yard stresses lightweight building with high-density foam core and vacuum-infused epoxy to CE category A, easy handling with two headsails, electric winches and davits, a long standard equipment list, three interior finishes at no extra cost, an in-house design team that offers standard or fully custom versions, solar roofs and hybrid drives, and a service base and marina of its own in the Bahamas.
Considerations
The site does not say where the boats are built; each model page prints its own kind of table — metric first on some, imperial first on others, the Sixty Solar Sail's diesel tank written as '1.440 litres' — the 40 PowerCat and 52 Exploration appear only in renders, the Sixty Solar Power page gives no engine figures, and most pages give no cabin count.

History
Xquisite Yachts says it was established in 2014 with the purpose of launching a new brand of sailing and power catamarans: the ultimate luxury yacht for cruisers, in which safety and innovative design blend, for adventurers who want to explore the oceans without giving up a comfortable life. Its yachts are built by a team of highly experienced catamaran builders and marketed globally and exclusively under the Xquisite brand. Every boat was meant for comfort and easy sail handling — two headsails, electric winches and davits — with a generator, air-conditioning, watermaker, washing machine and digital switching as standard, light construction in high-density foam core and vacuum-infused epoxy to CE category A, and twin 80 HP Yanmar engines. An in-house design team offers both standard and fully custom versions, with three interior finishes at no extra cost. Calling itself a boutique boatyard, Xquisite builds only a limited number of yachts each year; buyers can take a finished boat from the boat shows — Miami, Annapolis and the International Multihull Boat Show in France — or order one, and its charter division lets them try a boat before they buy.
