X4⁶ MkII – Evolution Refined for Pure Sailing Pleasure
The X4⁶ MkII represents a carefully considered evolution of one of the most versatile yachts in the Pure X range. The latest updates focus on enhancing real world handling, elevating comfort in the cockpit and creating a cleaner, more intuitive sailing environment. A newly engineered German sheeting mainsheet system significantly improves traveller control while reducing cockpit clutter, making evolutions safer and smoother for both shorthanded crews and those who enjoy more spirited sailing. Extended cockpit benches, longer coamings and a wider aft opening further improve comfort and support, creating a more inviting and capable space.
At the bow, the signature S bow accommodates an integrated bowsprit and anchor arm, preserving the yacht’s clean lines while improving anchoring convenience. Below deck, larger hull windows increase natural light and enhance the sense of space throughout the saloon and cabins. Updated materials, refined detailing and increased storage in key areas give the interior a fresh, contemporary feel tailored to comfortable, extended cruising.

The X4⁶ MkII offers interior layout options that support a wide range of sailing preferences, from short coastal trips to extended time aboard. Three double cabins come as standard, with the port aft cabin featuring a split berth that can be converted into a wider double when required. Both aft cabins can also be specified with optional pipe berths to increase sleeping flexibility for guests, children or additional crew.
The owner’s cabin forward provides generous storage and an ensuite heads compartment with a separate shower as standard. In the saloon, a forward facing navigation station and long, well proportioned sofa create a comfortable and practical living space.
