The launch of the Xcel 70 catamaran, which is expected to “exemplify the pinnacle of craftsmanship, innovation, and design”, is scheduled for January 2025

The catamaran features a modern exterior design, with a superstructure brought forward and expansive glazing. The hull lines go up at the bow and descend smoothly towards the stern, while the flybridge with a hard top fits into the profile of the vessel harmoniously.

According to the first renderings, with a length of 23.5 m and a beam of 8.9 m there are plenty of both exterior and interior spaces on board the Xcel 70. Thus, the flybridge, which is home to a lounge with sofas, a bar “island”, a dining area, a sunpad and a helm station with the state-of-the-art navigation equipment, has the area of about 80 sq.m, which makes it one of the largest in its class. According to the yard, there are customization options available to meet various cuwtomer needs and preferences.

The main saloon is divided into two areas: a large living room that can be transformed into a cinema, and a dining room with a galley on the starboard side and a dining table for eight on the portside. The helm station can be either enclosed or united with the social area of the saloon. According to the yard, they wanted to offer a good balance of interior and exterior spaces and make them comfortable both at anchor and during long voyages.
