About the Xquisite 30 SportCat

The Xquisite 30 SportCat is a lightweight, trailer-transportable sailing catamaran built around an open deck rather than an enclosed cruising saloon. Its purpose is active day sailing, island and beach hopping, with occasional overnight stops for owners who value simple systems, direct contact with the water, and the ability to relocate the boat between sailing areas.

Accommodation is deliberately modest: two cabin mattresses provide separate sleeping zones in the hulls, while a chemical toilet covers basic needs. Although published day capacity reaches eight people, that figure does not represent equivalent berth capacity; a full sailing group enjoys generous shared deck space, but overnight guests should expect limited shelter and only hull-level privacy.

From the helm, the SportCat’s open layout keeps sail handling and communication with the crew immediate, while uncluttered decks support swimming stops and beach approaches. The sailing package uses a rotating carbon mast, carbon crossbeams and North 3Di sails. Standard mini-keels favor straightforward operation; optional daggerboards suit buyers seeking a more adjustable sailing setup.

A key purchase decision is whether standard mini-keels or optional daggerboards better match your sailing plans and tolerance for setup complexity. When using CatamaranWorld to compare actual listings, inspect the boat itself and verify its board configuration, mast, sails, mattresses, toilet and outboard. Treat the trailer as optional equipment, and ensure any road move includes the correct dismantling procedure, trailer and support gear.
