A Refined Evolution of the Pure X Philosophy
The X4³ MkII is the latest evolution of one of X Yachts’ most successful models, redesigned to deliver greater stability, improved performance and a sleeker, more contemporary appearance. Her updated hull form, with a wider stern, soft chines and the distinctive S bow, provides a steadier heel and a smoother, more composed motion through the water. Increased mast height and a longer integrated bowsprit allow her to carry more sail with confidence, adding power upwind and a freer feel downwind.
At the helm, the MkII feels precise and responsive. The revised rudder geometry, shared with other new generation Pure X models, brings sharper grip and lighter feedback which makes the yacht engaging to sail whether on a weekend passage or stretching her legs offshore.

Why an X4³ MkII?
Choosing an X43 MkII means choosing a yacht crafted far beyond ordinary production‑boat standards. She delivers:
A genuinely dual‑purpose sailing experience — fast, responsive and rewarding in light airs, yet composed, stiff and confidence‑inspiring in stronger conditions.
Engineering pedigree that you can feel under sail, thanks to X‑Yachts’ structural principles: advanced epoxy construction, engineered load paths and premium components throughout.
A modern, ergonomic deck layout that supports effortless cruising and responsive performance sailing.
A beautifully balanced helm, refined rudder design and efficient hull lines that translate your inputs directly into boat speed.
A timeless Scandinavian interior, bright, airy and built with materials and craftsmanship that make ownership a pleasure every day.
A yacht that ages gracefully, both aesthetically and structurally — an X43 MkII is built to deliver decades of enjoyment, performance and pride.
In essence, the X43 MkII is for sailors who want a yacht that is deeply satisfying to own, exhilarating to sail, and beautiful to live aboard — without compromise.
Confident Sailing Through a Redesigned Deck and Hull
The MkII introduces a completely re engineered deck and deck liner, bringing a cleaner aesthetic and greater functionality. The updated coachroof and coamings mirror the modern look of the newer Pure X models, and the redesigned sprayhood provides better shelter whilst maintaining a clearer view forward for the helmsman. Longitudinal jib tracks come as standard, giving sailors fine control of headsail trim, while an optional recessed self tacking track keeps the cabin top flush for effortless short handed sailing.
Six self tailing winches manage halyards, genoa and mainsheet with ease, and wider aft sections translate into a more generous cockpit and improved rope stowage at the companionway. Beneath the surface, the vacuum infused epoxy sandwich hull delivers stiffness, strength and excellent weight efficiency, forming the foundation of the X4³’s composed behaviour in stronger breezes. X Yachts’ essentials — encapsulated keel, hydraulic backstay, discontinuous rod rigging and premium deck hardware — complete a well engineered platform suited to real world sailing.

An Interior Shaped by Light, Craftsmanship and Danish Design
Below deck, the X4³ MkII reflects the clean, timeless style that defines Scandinavian design. High quality materials and meticulous joinery give the interior a warm, natural character, while the increased number of deck and hull portlights allow daylight to pour into the saloon and cabins. Improved ventilation makes the interior comfortable for extended cruising, and the broader aft hull shape creates spacious aft cabins and generous berths. It is a calm, inviting environment that feels equally suited to passage making or quiet evenings alongside.
Interior Layouts Designed to Support Your Sailing Style
The X4³ MkII offers a choice of interior configurations, developed to support a range of cruising requirements. The wide aft section of the hull allows for generous cabin volumes, and owners can select arrangements that prioritise accommodation or extra gear stowage depending on how they use their boat. Across all layouts, the galley, navigation area and saloon are designed for practical living at sea with good stowage, balanced proportions and the characteristic Danish sense of order and simplicity.

A Powerful, Versatile Rig for Everyday Performance
The MkII carries a taller rig than its predecessor, making full use of the hull’s improved stability. Upwind, sailors can choose between the standard arrangement with a 106% genoa on longitudinal tracks, or opt for the self tacker for effortless short handed control. Downwind, the longer integrated bowsprit supports larger, freer flying gennakers that unlock genuine pace on reaching and running angles. Structural engineering — from the epoxy infused hull to the rod rigging and hydraulic backstay — helps maintain sail shape, prevents forestay pumping and keeps the yacht composed as the breeze freshens. It is a balanced, real world sail plan that rewards skill without demanding it.
