12 August 2024

Xcel Yachts has revealed more details of its new catamaran, the Xcel 70, which is on track for its maiden voyage in January 2025.

The Xcel 70 is the first model from Xcel, a new brand from UAE-based boatbuilder Riviera.

With a length of 23.5 metres, this catamaran is designed for both long voyages and social gatherings.

The Xcel 70’s teak-clad deck features multiple sun pads, lounging chairs, and a spacious dining area for guests. The flybridge, at 80 square metres, is among the largest in its class and offers customisation options alongside cutting-edge navigation systems and leather seating.

The standard boat features a diesel engine. Riviera says it foresees an optional eco-friendly hybrid propulsion system, which combines traditional diesel power with an electric motor, making this vessel more fuel-efficient.

The twin-hull design typical of catamarans enhances stability and reduces rolling at sea.
