XBOAT ref :6236. An exceptional sailing yacht, built for the open ocean
I own a 16.80-meter aluminum monohull with a beam of 4.95 meters. This used boat was designed to sail into polar regions, and it even participated in an Antarctic expedition in 2012. It embodies the robustness and safety characteristic of the Garcia shipyard.
Modernization and equipment
A hardtop was added in 2024 to improve comfort and protection from the elements. In 2019, the boat underwent a major overhaul, and in 2024 it was modernized again for over €350,000 in work. Today, it stands out as an exceptional yacht, very well equipped, reliable, and comfortable.
