CL Yachts' SAV CLX96 Due to Begin Sea Trials

Built for an international clientele, CLX96 combines an array of features that are perfectly suited for the American market that she is making her way to. 

Adorned with a sporty, rugged exterior, penned by Milan-based designer Jozeph Forakis, the first SAV’s design is inspired from workboats: boasting a two-level deckhouse and inverted windshield to withstand rough weather, a trait often seen on trade carrying vessels. The design has also been carefully created to keep the interior spaces cool through a reduction in overhanging glass: often causing a warming greenhouse effect. 

Having received a number of awards for her rugged design and impressive features, even before her launch in December last year, CLX96 marks a significant milestone for the family-owned American yard as its first 'modern explorer' Sea Activity Vessel.

A combination of speed, long range performance and comfort make this vessel the perfect adventure yacht for her new owner. An expansive interior volume and spacious sun decks offer a luxurious sense of entertainment space onboard, whilst several private areas offer a chance to retreat in peace. 

CLX96 has a maximum speed of 24-25 knots at full load which will be put to the test during her sea trials in Florida this summer, where a select group of potential owners will be onboard. She will make her debut at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show this year: expected to impress her new American audience. 

We look forward to bringing readers more updates as this landmark project nears her final completion.
