X-Yachts X4/4³ Buyer's Guide
Shopping the brokerage market for an X-Yachts X4/4³ means looking at a 2016-launched 41-footer that opened a new “X” cruising line from the Danish builder, blending Xp-style modern lines with more volume. Most used examples are the conventional three-cabin, two-head layout, though the two-cabin version exists; ex-charter boats are a common sight on the market, so survey and logbooks matter more than usual.
Layouts on the Used Market
Owner three-cabin layouts dominate the used fleet, with the two-cabin option available but less often encountered. The three-cabin interior is standard teak, with an optional oak Alpi veneer, and places tanks beneath the berths for weight balance. Early boats had doorways with just 5ft 7in headroom before frame detailing was widened; the forward cabin keeps 6ft 4in at an elevated island berth. The three-cabin format offers only a minimal chart table by the starboard settee, while the two-cabin layout provides a proper forward-facing navstation—a point worth confirming in person if you need a real desk.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Teak decks, electric winches, autopilot, and a chartplotter are commonly fitted and form the baseline you can expect. Often-seen additions include a bow thruster, heating, AIS, and asymmetric spinnaker or gennaker for offwind fun. Less common owner upgrades run to solar, inverter, hot water, and a Code Zero. For a buyer, the power-and-energy cluster (bow thruster, heating, solar, inverter) determines winter and anchor comfort; the sail-handling cluster (electric winches, asymmetric/spinnaker gear) signals short-handed or performance use; and navigation (chartplotter, AIS) is nearly universal.
What to Inspect
The open-transom early boats left the factory with only two aft guardrail wires, later revised to a third lifeline by X-Yachts, so check the pushpit configuration on any early hull. Early mirrored windows were changed to tinted units—verify the glazing and its seals. Doorway headroom was increased via frame detailing, so inspect the revised joinery for clean execution. Confirm whether the three-cabin example has the minimum chart table or lacks a navstation entirely.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
These boats typically appear in the United States, France, United Kingdom, Sweden, Switzerland, and Germany. For a used X4/4³, verify layout (three- versus two-cabin and navstation), confirm pushpit and window updates, inspect joinery revisions, and review equipment tier against your cruising plans.
- Choose three-cabin for resale breadth or two-cabin for a real navstation
- Check aft lifelines and window tint on early hulls
- Confirm electric winches, autopilot, and chartplotter are present
- Note ex-charter history in survey and maintenance records
