Outremer 5 X Buyer's Guide
The Outremer 5X is the flagship performance catamaran from Outremer Yachting, designed with VPLP and aimed at the same fast-offshore niche as Gunboat. On the brokerage market she appears in both privately owned three-cabin layouts and ex-charter four-cabin versions, with the latter well represented among available boats. A 60-foot production catamaran displacing around 15 tons in cruising trim, she rewards a buyer who values sailing ability over cavernous interior volume.
Layouts on the Used Market
Owner three-cabin and charter four-cabin arrangements are both commonly found, and ex-charter examples are a frequent presence rather than a rarity. The interior follows a theme of expensive simplicity — subdued, classy styling with lightweight composite furniture finished mainly in white anchor — and the sleeping quarters are offered in three configurations that make the most of the relatively slim hulls. A buyer should understand that the slim hulls trade storage space for performance, so cabin stowage will be tighter than on a typical charter cat of this length.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Most 5X boats on the market carry a strong baseline of offshore equipment. Commonly fitted systems include autopilot, chartplotter, radar, AIS, Starlink, solar, a watermaker, and heating, along with a range of downwind sails such as spinnaker, gennaker, asymmetric spinnaker, and code zero. Often-seen upgrades cluster around energy and self-sufficiency for distance cruising: lithium batteries, inverter, air conditioning, hot water, and a short-handed setup appear on many boats, while dinghy davits, life raft, and circumnavigation-oriented gear are also frequent. Less common but worth noting as owner additions are electric winches and a cockpit shower. For a buyer, the meaningful clusters are power and energy — lithium and inverter support long anchorages — and sail handling, where a code zero or gennaker extends light-air range without crew strain.
What to Inspect
A prudent survey of a 5X should focus on the daggerboard trunks and the mast and rigging, which demand precise adjustment anchor.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
These cats are typically found in France, Saint Martin (French part), Spain, Canada, Panama, and the United States. For the shopper, the checklist is straightforward: confirm layout — owner three-cabin versus ex-charter four-cabin — and accept that slim hulls mean limited storage; verify the rig and daggerboard systems are sound; and review the energy and sail-handling upgrades against your cruising plan. The 5X is a performance cruiser first, and the right buyer is one who wants to sail hard rather than live large.
