STORM YACHTS IN THE NETHERLANDS has launched the Storm X-65 Wheelhouse.

This all-aluminium round-bilge motoryacht offers a top speed of 24 knots. The minimal swell generated when manoeuvring in the marina or sailing at high speed in open water is highly impressive. Particularly notable is the low exhaust noise during mooring and unmooring. The model also has low noise and resonance levels throughout as well as an exceptional amount of interior space.

The X-65 is propelled by two Volvo IPS D3 1050 drives, powered by Volvo D-13 diesel engines. Each drive has a standard transmission mounted on a steerable pod unit with two counter-rotating propellers. Combined with the FDHF hull, which has a very low resistance at all speeds, the X-65 has unusually low fuel consumption for a yacht of this weight and length.

Crucially, the arrangement of the interior layout can be adapted according to the wishes of the client. This first X-65, for instance, is equipped with a utility room under the stairs and a gym in the Owners’ cabin. Owners can also select their preferred design and decorative style, with Storm Yachts offering a selection of colours, wood structures, finishes, carpets and upholstery to meet each taste. This newly launched model features a contemporary look and feel, with a light colour scheme that is in line with the Owner’s taste. www.stormyachts.com
