X-Yachts X 49 MkII

About this yacht

The X-Yachts X 49 MkII represents a refined evolution in performance cruising, blending racing pedigree with sophisticated onboard comfort. Launched in 2022, this 15.40-meter sailing yacht accommodates up to 10 guests and carries CE (A) certification for offshore passage-making. Building on the success of over 50 X 49 MkI hulls delivered worldwide, the X-Yachts X 49 MkII incorporates design advancements drawn from the acclaimed X5⁶ and X4³ MkII. The result is a lighter, faster sailboat with enhanced luxury throughout—a true performance cruiser equally capable as a bluewater passage-maker or spirited racer-cruiser. The exterior showcases the distinctive S-bow profile, housing an extended carbon bowsprit that improves downwind performance with larger asymmetric sails. The redesigned cockpit features longer benches and repositioned winches for intuitive sail handling, while the updated coaming provides superior helming ergonomics whether seated or standing. The transom opens to create an inviting social space when moored stern-to, reflecting the sportier aesthetic of X-Yachts' flagship models. Performance gains come from comprehensive engineering: a new rudder design delivers improved grip and reduced drag, while structural refinements lower the center of gravity and reduce overall displacement. For versatile sailing configurations, the X-Yachts X 49 MkII offers deck-recessed track for a self-tacking genoa or optional longitudinal tracks for a 106% overlapping headsail—allowing owners to prioritize ease of handling or maximum performance. Below deck, the fiberglass hull reveals a thoroughly modernized interior. Three guest cabins feature Nordic oak or optional teak veneers, while redesigned head compartments showcase integrated Corian basins set into seamless worktops. The saloon introduces a luxurious starboard lounge with deeper cushions and angled backrests, complemented by gas-strut-assisted storage access throughout. Flush-mounted portlights increase natural light by 50% while improving ventilation across the main cabin. With a draft of 2.40 meters, the X-Yachts X 49 MkII balances shoal-water accessibility with the stability demanded by serious cruising sailboats. Whether planning coastal daysailing or extended offshore passages, this sailboat delivers the performance, comfort, and build quality that define the Pure X range.
