X-Yachting

What X-Yachting does

X-Yachting is a privately-held Greek sailing charter and yacht services company founded in 2019 and headquartered at Olympic Marina in Lavrio, Attica. It operates the world's largest charter fleet of X-Yachts performance sailing yachts, offering all three brand ranges — Pure X (X4⁰, X4³ MkII, X4⁶), Xperformance (Xp44, XR 41), and XCruising (Xc47) — supplemented by three X-Power 33c motorboats used for day cruises. The company is the authorised X-Yachts dealer for Greece and runs the X-Yachts Care Program for owners needing maintenance, refit, emergency support, and concierge services.

The underlying technology is supplied by its core partner X-Yachts Denmark and includes vacuum-infused epoxy hulls with carbon reinforcement, galvanised steel keel grillage frames, carbon masts, rod rigging, and tri-radial laminate Quantum Sails. The XR 41 hull is designed using CFD and AI-based optimisation, and the Xc47 features a longer integrated bowsprit and elevated coach roof for interior volume. The fleet integrates custom sail wardrobes tuned to Greek wind conditions and Category A ocean certification on selected racers.

X-Yachting's revenue model combines multiple streams: bareboat and skippered charters (full-time, day-one, and ghost skipper options), racing charters for events like the Aegean 600, Rolex Middle Sea Race, and Bosphorus Cup, day cruises from Lavrio, Porto Heli/Spetses and Hydra, corporate event charters, yacht sales commissions, and recurring owner-service retainers through the Care Program. The go-to-market is sales-led: customers engage via the website, direct email ([email protected]), phone, and the company's annual boot Düsseldorf booth, with charters typically running Saturday-to-Saturday. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The customer base spans sailing families and enthusiasts, competitive racing teams, X-Yachts owners requiring Greece-based service, corporate clients, and day-cruise tourists.
