2022 Outremer 5X

The Outremer 5X is a rare breed: a performance catamaran that doesn't sacrifice comfort for speed. Designed by VPLP and built by the renowned French yard, this semi-custom blue-water cruiser appeals to sailors who want to cross oceans quickly and safely without giving up living space. Hull #33, named CYAN, represents one of the last 5X models built and benefits from an owner who was deeply involved in every specification choice.
 

This catamaran suits experienced sailors who prioritize performance and safety on long passages, yet need enough space for family or guests. It's ideal for a live-aboard couple or family planning extended cruising, such as a circumnavigation or seasonal Caribbean-Mediterranean hopping. If you're looking for a boat that can handle rough weather with confidence while still offering comfortable living quarters, the 5X fits the bill.
 

Is the Outremer 5X CYAN for Sale?

Yes, this Outremer 5X CYAN, hull #33, is currently offered for sale through its listing broker. The yacht is located in Saint Martin and is being actively marketed to experienced sailors who prioritize performance and safety on long passages. Because only 35 units were ever built, with hull #33 among the last and most refined, availability of a comparable example in similar condition may be extremely limited.
 

For buyers, availability is less important than acting quickly. The recent upgrades, rigging condition, sail inventory, and full specification should all be reviewed before making an offer. Given the rarity of the 5X, especially in this condition and with this specification, CYAN is considered one of the best 5X examples on the market.
 

Outremer 5X CYAN Price

The asking price for this Outremer 5X CYAN should be confirmed directly with the listing broker, as pricing for semi-custom performance catamarans varies with specification, equipment, and documented maintenance. Depreciation is slower than on production cats because of the Outremer pedigree and limited supply, and well-maintained 5X models hold their value exceptionally well, which supports the boat's market position. Asking prices are subject to change and should not be treated as confirmed transaction values.
 

The purchase price is only part of the budget for a 60-foot performance catamaran. Owning a 5X means appreciating its low fuel consumption for a catamaran of this size—twin Volvo 75 HP engines sip diesel at a modest rate, keeping running costs predictable. Maintenance is straightforward thanks to the simple, well-proven systems and the boat's accessible layout. Budget for regular rigging checks and sail upkeep, which are essential for a performance-oriented boat, along with a professional survey, sea trial, insurance, and berthing.
