X-Yachts X-482 Buyer's Guide
Shopping the brokerage market for an X-482 means weighing a Danish 48-footer that was built as a racer with cruising accommodations against the realities of owning a teak-decked performance hull. Niels Jeppesen's design carries 26,455 pounds of displacement and 11,023 pounds of ballast, with a beam of 14 feet 1 inch and a standard draft of 8 feet 2 inches. The used fleet spans several interior plans, and understanding which version is in front of you matters more than any option list.
Layouts on the Used Market
Owner three-cabin layouts are the more common on the used market, but both three- and four-cabin versions are available, and ex-charter examples are common. The three-cabin classic uses pilot berths in the saloon; the modern three-cabin version places a spread-out galley to port and a big wraparound dinette to starboard. Four-cabin boats nest an extra stateroom forward, and one such version reaches 12 berths via saloon pilot berths, though the forward fit is tight. No version offers an enclosed shower stall, and the dining area seats six at a time.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Most boats on the market carry a strong cruising suite. Autopilot, chartplotter, radar, and AIS are commonly fitted, joined by teak decks, air conditioning, heating, and lithium batteries. Electric winches and a bimini are also usual. Often-seen additions include an inverter, bow thruster, freezer, hot water, dodger, cockpit shower, life raft, and downwind sails such as a gennaker or asymmetric spinnaker. For a buyer, the power-and-energy cluster (lithium batteries, inverter, air conditioning and heating loads) determines how independently you can cruise; the canvas-and-sail-handling cluster (bimini, dodger, electric winches, bow thruster) shapes short-handed maneuvering and cockpit comfort.
What to Inspect
The principal documented watch item is the teak deck. These work well as non-skid and look good when new, but the maintenance burden of teak decks is real, and a careful survey of seam condition and sub-deck moisture should precede any offer. Beyond that, the available record raises no structural or systemic defects specific to the model.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
Typical markets include Australia, the United States, Italy, and Croatia. For the shopper, the short list is: confirm the layout matches your berth and privacy needs, survey the teak decks closely, verify the autopilot and chartplotter are current, and accept the 8-foot-2-inch draft as a fixed constraint on where you can anchor.
