X-Yachts proudly announces the updated X46 MkII, a model refined with an uncompromising focus on elevating the sailing experience. The latest evolution introduces a series of design enhancements that blend performance, comfort, and craftsmanship more seamlessly than ever before.
"At every stage of the X46 MkII development, our goal was simple," says Peter Schmidt, Designer at X-Yachts. "Improve the sailing experience in ways that sailors will feel immediately—whether they're trimming sails, taking the helm, or relaxing in the cockpit."
A major highlight is the newly engineered mainsheet system featuring German sheeting. This upgrade delivers significantly improved efficiency and control of the mainsheet traveller while reducing line clutter in the cockpit. The result is cleaner, safer, and more intuitive sail handling.
Cockpit comfort has also been elevated. Extended cockpit benches create a more inviting space for crew and guests, while longer coamings offer the helmsman enhanced support and improved seating ergonomics. A refined pedestal design and a wider aft cockpit opening contribute to a more open, spacious feel that reflects the yacht's true capability.
At the bow, the X46 MkII now features the signature S-bow seen across the latest Pure X models. This distinctive profile not only sharpens the yacht's aesthetic but also accommodates larger anchors without compromising the clean, uncluttered deck layout.
"Our commitment to continuous development is at the core of who we are," says Kræn B. Nielsen, CEO of X-Yachts. "We never stand still. Every new model, every refinement, is driven by our desire to push boundaries and deliver yachts that set new standards for performance and quality."
"The X46 MkII represents our ongoing commitment to refining what already works beautifully," adds Peter Schmidt, Designer at X-Yachts. "It's about thoughtful evolution—small details that together make a big difference on the water.
