For someone who doesn't do sail boat's you did a great job asking all the " newbie " questions. I got a ton of information from the questions you asked. Thomas did an amazing job with answering the questions, and if and when I am in the market, I will definitely consider this cat. I love the layout and that it comes fully equipped with a warranty that other sailing vessels don't come with
It's great to see a boat designed by someone that lived on one. So many things are designed just to look good but don't take maintenance into consideration.
Great tour by Tomas and Sarah! You could videotape your sailings because some of the things you've done were right out there with real-life stories. Fabulous to see you two still working.
ALFRED Hello, I have only been on 1 cat sailboat,@ THE BITTER END YACHT CLUB,,,, ‘PARANDA, A dear lady friend & I used to travel together, she was a BOSTONIAN , but lived in BAYSIDE QUEENS NY, we used to go to the NY BOAT SHOW @ JAVITS CENTRE, so many years ago I discovered how much REAL SPACE there was on sailboats, but low space on power boats as the as space was taken by the engines, all her family were sailors by sailboats, she moved back to BASS RIVER MASSASSUCETS , and died there , sadly. I used to fly airplanes, but learned to sail, thanks for showing this beauty, CHERIO🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Stunning state of the art. The Star Trek shuttle craft, on water... oustanding, full size, immersive experience (not a laptop, smart phone, tablet, smart TV), best device in its class on planet. I want one, in my dreams but oh, gorgeous.
This sailing yacht is insanely well built and designed. A guy with that much experience absolutely got it right. Love the Miami Boat Show, can’t wait for Abu Dhabi!
That was excellent!! Sailboats always fascinate me. I've always wanted to sail but I'm way too old now! And, I don't have $1.8mm to have that one! Thank you for doing that tour, Alfred!!
Tell the owner this is the best looking, owner operator cat I've seen and has so many nice features. A very smart catamaran. I'm going to imagine myself and some friends sitting on that sofa, listening to a gentle rain, planing where to go next. The law of attraction making this happen for someone with no money! Thank you for a very good and informative video.
This is incredible, I know so little about boats but love learning and maintaining things myself. The amount of thought that went into making this something you can maintain and use is awesome. I cant wait to see a tour of the of the 60 Solar!
I'm really glad you did this video on this sail boat because if you want to go transatlantic and beyond, a motorized boat just isn't going to do it. This looks like a great boat for someone to have who is new to sailing and can train to sail it. Very impressive yacht - Thanks for the great tour, Alfred!
Everyone who I know who bought a boat from Thomas has nothing but amazing things to say about him. He seems like a genuinely good person, who is passionate about sailing... and wants to share that with other people... great boats....
Outstanding Alfred!!!! Thanks for showing the the other side of the spectrum. Also glad to see a vessel built by ‘the guy that’s been there’. Steep price but they give you two weeks training, tools, spare parts (which is mind blowing), and they have a Power Cat!!! Hope you are able to one day give us a tour of that 60’ power cat!!
Lovely Vessel, of all that has been shown I can say this seems to be well thought out from the view of a full time live aboard and sailing! Adore the tool stowage! Rain water collection is what should be the norm! So useful!
What a great business plan. One call to the manufacturer takes care of all system issues. It’s also wonderful to see designs incorporated by experience, not just looks. Great job Alfred! Spreading yourself to other boating venues like a pro. Thanks for your hard work
There's a different YT channel that sailed one of these boats and had a problem with the water maker. Xquisite didn't just talk them through fixing it, they flew a guy out from the factory to Jamestown in Saint Helena with a suitcase of parts to do the repair even though they knew the repair would take a few hours but the flights to Saint Helena are only weekly so once on the island, he was stuck for a week on company time. It totally redefines what customer service should be.
Here is a company who spends two weeks with their buyers teaching them about the boat!!! It doesn't get any better than that!!!!! What a great Business model!!! I will give these guys a serious look When the time comes!!!!
I would leave the "business part apart from the scene ...wife making a comment ...." it was just heart breaking .....Thomas whatever you do...make sure your Lady approves it! Its appealing !
A couple years ago I researched this cat and I love everything about it. If I hit the loto it would be the bout I buy! Oh and the only down side I could see to the boat is it that it’s heavy!
Just a thought, You should consider doing these interviews for other boat builders in FL. Your interviewing approach would interest the "weekend water warriors" and probably sell a few boats.
damn man, you should've checked out that seafoam hh50 next door, i feel like the power boaters in your community would be interested in learning about the carbon high performance boats like HH, Kinetic, Gunboat, Balance etc
Hi there! 1st time viewer, but avid boat watcher. On a production side note a few things: A. Try to come into the show/what you're showing us, at least semi prepared. I know you said at the beginning you're new at this, and "I don't know this, that, etc", it just helps with the feel of it. B. You're WAY too close to your camera. Not sure if it's a go-pro strapped to you, but hearing you Hard breathing, inside and even outside was extremely off putting. C. The engine/generator room is missing from the walk-through. As for someone who might be interested in the boat, not even seeing it would turn me away. I hope you take this as just constructive criticism, and not an attack. 😉 I hope you do well in your future endeavors.
Was ok just wish you could have been able to get rid of all the people as you were showing it. If this is how Xquisit shows, there boats I am out looks like a Chit show to me. Sorry you had to put up with that Alfred.
Too many systems, too complicated. I understand that new boats are going this way now-a-days, but for me, if I'm sailing around the world, I want to keep it simple. What happens if I get a lightning strike in Papua New Guinea? That fancy electronic IPad that's so integral to the function of the boat will be useless. Can I get a technician to PNG to fix it? Probably not. I will probably have to have the yacht towed to Indonesia just to find a yard with the proper facilities to fix it enough to limp it to Australia for the real repair. What a nightmare. And lightning strikes happen a lot when cruising. At least with a simpler boat, I can pull out the paper charts and make my way to a boat yard where I can find parts and expertise to repair all the fried electronics. The stuff on this boat looks to be very proprietary, and I doubt Xquisit will allow a random yard worker to work on it.
It's actually fitted with common equipment to sail the boat. Even the electric winches can be manually wound by inserting the handle. There are tiller points to fit a handle to if your steering mechanism fails. There are a second set of instruments at the nav station inside which you could use in case of main helm failure. You will find cat's with this level of tech have lightning grounding lines feeding from the mast to the keels under water, which means you'll probably lose your masthead cameras and antennae etc, but the majority of the electrics will be okay. The tablet control is for convenience, and there are switches located on the devices as well. You won't need to find a worker to replace this kind of tech, it's fairly simple to switch out, just unplug and replace.
For someone who doesn't do sail boat's you did a great job asking all the " newbie " questions. I got a ton of information from the questions you asked. Thomas did an amazing job with answering the questions, and if and when I am in the market, I will definitely consider this cat.

This is my favorite cat on the market today. Very high end and extremely well built. Thanks Alfred. Love the boat show vids!!
What do you think about the Privilege 580?
It's great to see a boat designed by someone that lived on one. So many things are designed just to look good but don't take maintenance into consideration.

Wow! What a beautiful boat and lovely people too, may they go from strength to strength.

Finally someone standing behind the product they sell, top of the list for us
Just a brilliant concept from design to delivery
Combined with all the tools spares and training
Complete package
Yes please 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you for showcasing these beautiful boats and yachts! While we would never purchase one, it’s so amazing to see them. We love your videos.
lots of thought and experience gone into this one. nice

Thank you for the walk through. I have been waiting for someone to show the new X5 Plus in detail. Fabulous cat and and company.
Here is a company who spends two weeks with their buyers teaching them about the boat!!! It doesn't get any better than that!!!!! What a great Business model!!! I will give these guys a serious look When the time comes!!!!
From a sailor Alfred, you did a great job on reviewing this great cat. It looks like winner!
Brilliant, brilliant boat!! 🔥🔥🔥 I love that it was 1000% thought through from the water up by a 1000% seasoned sailor. Great video!
Incredible boat and as a first time viewer I certainly appreciate your thoroughness in questions and video techniques.
Alfred, I must say that was one awesome and very detailed showing of a beautiful vessel.
Beautiful !
Tank you for the tour Alfred…from Snowy Vermont. Love your shows and am glad I subscribed.
Thanks Daniel
It's incredible, and complete, sail around the world catamaran. I think it's awesome..
That’s a dream catamaran to travel the world! 🌎 Great video Alfred. You should continue to do sailing vessels.
Seriously this is an awesome boat well designed , everything is though with intelligence and practicality.
Awesome boat and awesome job showing it.
I would leave the "business part apart from the scene ...wife making a comment ...." it was just heart breaking .....Thomas whatever you do...make sure your Lady approves it! Its appealing !
Thanks a bunch for including a sailboat. Wow, is that ever cool.
The Grumman Gulfstream of sailing cats. Just amazing!
A couple years ago I researched this cat and I love everything about it. If I hit the loto it would be the bout I buy! Oh and the only down side I could see to the boat is it that it’s heavy!
Every week I check before checking my ticket I have a quick look to see how long I would need to wait in case this time I'm lucky :D
Great job once again, from Minnesota⛄️
Imagine your first experience in a cat is a walk through by Tomas on the X5. Every cat will feel sad now in comparison. Tomas and Sarah are legends.
Beautiful boat. Excellent video
Hands down the best cat in that size range I have seen
Beautiful Cat.. will need to buy extra lotto tickets. :)
Just a thought, You should consider doing these interviews for other boat builders in FL. Your interviewing approach would interest the "weekend water warriors" and probably sell a few boats.
You missed a trick. Their new 60 foot solar motor cruise was sitting on the table. No sails, just hybrid engines on a cat hull.
That was a awesome ship, and great video brotha alfred!
This was a nice review of the X5 plus, looking forward to Tamas doing something like this for his 60 solar sail hull...
This in its simplicity is design for true traveler. When out in water something is going to brake and there's a backup for.
Wow - I defo need to put this one on the list!
Wow great cat!
Fantastic !! Brilliant !!
The best represented sailing cat I recall seeing.
I lost my mind when he said 50ft.. Would have sworn it was larger... WAY LARGER!
Beautiful
This is fantastic!
The boat of my dreams! ❤️
Tamas is such a cool guy!
Amazing walk through. Love your content Alfred.
damn man, you should've checked out that seafoam hh50 next door, i feel like the power boaters in your community would be interested in learning about the carbon high performance boats like HH, Kinetic, Gunboat, Balance etc
You are right.
Thank you Alfred for giving some love to the sailing community.
GOOD JOB .
Tamàs, melyik lesz a következő euròpai boat show, ahol rèszt fogtok venni a Plus-szal? Miben különbözik a Plusz az X5-tòl?
Such a perfect cat
It would be nice to have a side shot of some of these boats.
Wow, Two weeks of training means they are serious about taking care of their clients!
That guy thought of every thing .. very nice boat.
What a dream boat!
Just beautiful
For cruising cat, this x5 is the good choice ...
For performance cat, outreamer 55 is the right deal ...
I want more info about this boat.
It would have been nice to see the engines.
Yes and to know its fuel storage
This was a nice change and glad you admitted you knew nothing about sailing cats.
He wasn't lying. 'How do you learn how to drive this?' lol
nice boat

Small question how can I get one of the models that are displayed on board this boat?
Hard to see anything when the foreground is so blury. Don't set the camera to focus on the distant background.
Epic Alfred Epic
OSUM! 👍👍👍
Would love to see you a Nautistyle do a vid together
Sailing LA Vagabond should have built one of these
Shame about the sound quality. Great video otherwise .
Should have said is this my room ?
Kickass
❤❤❤
10/10
Was ok just wish you could have been able to get rid of all the people as you were showing it. If this is how Xquisit shows, there boats I am out looks like a Chit show to me. Sorry you had to put up with that Alfred.
Two weeks of training, wow they aren't f'ing around.
That is really one up on most cats
How so?
I'll take it
Your tittle misspelled xquisit(e)
Price
If I could only…
x5, whats the diference?
And they are all sold!!!! You have to wait until 2026 to buy one!!!!
You were way out of your depth on this video. The Xquisit Catamaran is a spectacular boat. Stick to your casual crap that is basically meaningless.
Too many systems, too complicated. I understand that new boats are going this way now-a-days, but for me, if I'm sailing around the world, I want to keep it simple.
What happens if I get a lightning strike in Papua New Guinea? That fancy electronic IPad that's so integral to the function of the boat will be useless. Can I get a technician to PNG to fix it? Probably not. I will probably have to have the yacht towed to Indonesia just to find a yard with the proper facilities to fix it enough to limp it to Australia for the real repair. What a nightmare.

It's actually fitted with common equipment to sail the boat. Even the electric winches can be manually wound by inserting the handle. There are tiller points to fit a handle to if your steering mechanism fails. There are a second set of instruments at the nav station inside which you could use in case of main helm failure. You will find cat's with this level of tech have lightning grounding lines feeding from the mast to the keels under water, which means you'll probably lose your masthead cameras and antennae etc, but the majority of the electrics will be okay. The tablet control is for convenience, and there are switches located on the devices as well. You won't need to find a worker to replace this kind of tech, it's fairly simple to switch out, just unplug and replace.
Is it a silly thought to think about Putin taking out the electrical grid
Great for downlind.
Oh Lord can you buy me a Xquisit X5...........,
My friend's all have Leopards i must make amends .
🌄 join me, And I will turn you into fisher of men, may you continue to be 🙌 😇 🙏, Amen.
2 million bux lol
Looks uncomfortable 😮
