Outremer 4X Buyer's Guide
Shopping the brokerage market for an Outremer 4X means looking at a performance catamaran built from 2016 onward, derived from the Outremer 45 hull with aft extensions and a carbon rig. These are boats designed for demanding owners who want more performance than the 45 in light airs, and the used fleet reflects both private and ex-charter histories. Knowing the model's documented strengths and the few trade-offs recorded helps a buyer focus a survey where it matters.
Layouts on the Used Market
Owner three-cabin layouts are the more common on the used market, but both are available; ex-charter examples are common. The 4X preserves the same level of comfort as the Outremer 45 with the same quality of finish and the same storage space, though the interior and fit-out is basic to the point of minimalist. Simple and light-weight fixings are standard, and the recommended maximum load is the same as the Outremer 45 while the boat is lighter and benefits from a higher payload compared to the 45.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Trampoline, radar, AIS, autopilot, and chartplotter are commonly fitted. Solar, inverter, code zero, gennaker, spinnaker, asymmetric spinnaker, hot water, life raft, and transatlantic completed are often seen. The 4X itself has an optional gennaker of 115 m2 and optional spinnaker of 167 m2, and removable canvas on carbon posts protects from sun or rain when at anchor or in port. The bimini is reduced in size to facilitate passage through the cockpit to access the starboard and port winches.
What to Inspect
Documented known issues are minimal. The principal point to verify is the extent of weight-saving modifications: the builder suggests replacing doors and some shelves with fabric structures closed with zips or magnets, and some Corian worktops have been replaced by lighter composite. Confirm that all structural parts are laminated and that the vacuum infused carbon composite reinforced bulkheads are intact. No defects in hull, rig, or systems are recorded in the available material, but the minimalist interior should be assessed for condition relative to the boat's use history.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
Typical markets for the Outremer 4X are Australia, France, Guadeloupe, and Mexico. For a buyer, the checklist is short: confirm the carbon rig and rotating mast are sound, verify the documented lightening modifications are present and functional, check the bulkheads for integrity, and match the layout — owner three-cabin or other — to intended use. With no systemic faults on record and a builder-stated 50-year design life, a well-kept 4X remains a credible blue-water performance platform.
