X-Yachts X4⁰ Buyer's Guide
Shopping the brokerage market for an X-Yachts X4⁰ means looking at a 2019-onward Danish performance cruiser that has proven popular both as a private boat and in ex-charter fleets. Owner three-cabin versions are the more common on the used market, but two-cabin boats are available too, and ex-charter examples are common.
Layouts on the Used Market
The standard two-cabin interior gives a forward owner's stateroom, a proper heads with separate shower, and a forward-facing navigation station. The three-cabin alternative, available from spring 2020, places mirror-image quarterberths aft but removes the chart table and much of the spacious heads compartment, leaving a single head for the whole boat. Buyers who cruise as a couple or with one other family should favor the two-cabin arrangement; those needing four berths must accept the heads compromise.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
On the used X4⁰, teak decks, autopilot, cabin heating, solar, a self-tacking jib, gennaker or asymmetric spinnaker, bow thruster, electric winches, AIS, and chartplotter are commonly fitted, and a short-handed setup is usual. For power and energy, solar and a bow thruster ease anchor work and reduce generator need. Sail-handling clusters center on the self-tacker plus a gennaker or A-sail and electric winches for single-handed ease. Navigation is covered by chartplotter and AIS. Less universal but seen are a furling main, freezer, hot water, bimini, dodger, swim platform, and cockpit shower.
What to Inspect
The steel keel grillage is the boat's structural heart and the place to start: look for rust bloom or cracked welds where the iron fin and lead bulb bolt on, since that frame carries keel and mast loads and must absorb grounding shock anchor. Confirm the recessed self-tacker track is clear and the belowdeck furler operates smoothly. On three-cabin examples, verify the lone heads compartment for mold or seal failure given the lost space and chart table. At a viewing, work the folding mooring cleats free of their recesses and open the companionway doors that conceal line bins to check for stiffness or water staining at the hull-deck joint.
