Sixty Solar Power

Transoceanic Hybrid Propulsion

Based at the Xquisite Catamaran Center in Freeport, Grand Bahama Island, the Sixty Solar Power is part of a unique approach to the power multihull market. Both a technological laboratory and a true bluewater yacht, this powercat takes a pragmatic approach to energy transition applied to offshore cruising. Far from making grandiose claims or offering gimmicky solutions, Xquisite Yachts seeks to demonstrate that it is now possible to combine self-sufficiency, comfort, transoceanic range, and a significant reduction in energy footprint without sacrificing the fundamentals of the modern powercat.

Primarily designed for long-term cruising, the Sixty Solar Power has not compromised on design, farfrom it...

A two-man crew is sufficient to handle the Sixty Solar Power.

So, I’m undoubtedly one of the first journalists to have tried out the brand new Sixty Solar Power.
This first unit, owned by the shipyard, has served as a full-scale test bed. Even before welcoming its first prospects and charter customers in the Bahamas, the Sixty Solar Power undertook a transatlantic passage between Aveiro, Portugal, and Freeport, Bahamas, in September 2025. This voyage of several thousand miles, completed at an average speed of around 8 knots, provided an opportunity to test the advanced hybrid propulsion system developed for this model in real-world conditions. Such a crossing is no small feat for a prototype: it tests the reliability of the systems, the overall energy efficiency, and also the long-term comfort of life on board.
My test took place the day after an exclusive event for Xquisite Yachts customers and prospects, whic...
