Holterman Shipyard is preparing to deliver the first X-65 model, designed for an owner who plans to cruise extensively. The yacht was recently made available for viewing at the Hiswa Te Water boat show in Lelystad, Netherlands, which ran from 28 August to 1 September 2024.
The X-65 was designed by Bernd Weel Design. The model, part of Holterman’s Xtreme range, has steel construction, spacious storage, and a double-height lower saloon with an office area. The yacht was customised to meet the needs of a European client who intends to cruise Northern European waters and the Norwegian fjords.
“The client, like our other clients at Holterman, came to us with a specific brief for a specific yacht,” begins Bernd Weel, principal of Bernd Weel Design.
“He liked the Xtreme lines and the design of the boats, and he asked us to draw a yacht specifically made for his needs that also carried the design cues of the other Xtreme models.”
