X-Yachts X4⁰ Buyer's Guide
Shopping the brokerage market for an X-Yachts X4⁰ means chasing the smallest of the Pure X range, a forty-foot performance cruiser built from 2019 onward with a reputation for speed and style. Ex-charter examples are common, and the boat’s two-cabin and three-cabin interiors both surface on the used market, with the owner three-cabin version the more frequently seen of the two.
Layouts on the Used Market
The standard two-cabin arrangement places the owner’s cabin forward with a side-access double berth and hanging lockers, a head with separate shower, and a forward-facing navigation station; testers who sailed this layout preferred it. The three-cabin alternative, available from Spring 2020, adds mirror-image quarterberths aft but removes the chart table and much of the heads compartment, leaving only one heads to serve the boat. A large sail locker forward and an L-shaped galley to port with Eno stove are consistent across layouts, and the Nordic Oak veneer with teak-laminate sole is standard.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
On the used market these boats commonly carry heating, teak decks, autopilot,A solar, self-tacking jib, gennaker, asymmetric spinnaker, bow thruster, electric winches, AIS, and chartplotter as fitted equipment. Often-seen additions include freezer, hot water, bimini, dodger, swim platform, cockpit shower, and short-handed setup. The standard deck layout itself brings four winches, twin Jefa wheels, synthetic teak cockpit sole, retractable mooring cleats, and a fixed sprit for an A-sail; a carbon mast and boom, genoa tracks with dedicated winches, and a Gori folding prop were factory options rather than common retrofits.
What to Inspect
Documented known issues are minimal. The keel grillage is described as immensely strong, reliable, and very easy to inspect for potential damage, so a close look at the galvanised steel structure for shock or grounding evidence is warranted. The hull bake cycle exists partly to minimise surface finish loss on darker coloured hulls, so darker-hulled examples deserve a finish inspection. Beyond these points the manufacturer’s own summary closed with no remarks to be made.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
Typical markets for the X4⁰ are Denmark, Germany, United States, Switzerland, United Kingdom, and Netherlands. For a buyer, the checklist is short: confirm keel-grillage condition, inspect darker hull finishes for surface defects, decide between the roomier two-cabin and berth-heavy three-cabin layout, and verify which common cruising upgrades are already fitted versus still desired.
