X-Yachts

Danish reliability combined with a competitive edge.

X-Yachts was founded in 1979 by brothers Lars and Niels Jeppesen, together with their friend Birger Hansen, in Haderslev, Denmark. Their first boat, the X-79 (named after its length in metres and the year of construction), won countless regattas and, with 468 units built, became a classic.

More than 6,000 boats on X-Yachts, the company still builds its boats in-house, with a reputation for Danish reliability combined with outstanding racing performance.
