About the Xquisite 40 PowerCat
The Xquisite 40 PowerCat is a compact cabin cruiser designed by Dixon Yacht Design for weekend use and longer stays. Its purpose is practical cruising in a manageable power-catamaran format, with propulsion choices shaping the final configuration. Inboard, outboard and optional electric installations are offered, so length and draft vary with the selected package.
Accommodation centers on two private ensuite cabins, each with a separate shower stall and convertible cabin bed configurations that provide flexibility within the cabins. The main cockpit combines the galley with social seating and can be optionally enclosed for climate protection, an arrangement that emphasizes shared living space while keeping accommodation confined to the two cabins.
At the helm, evaluate all-round sightlines, control ergonomics and access to mooring points, since propulsion and equipment choices can alter the operating setup. Deck circulation includes bow boarding steps, while the expanding aft beach-club-style sundeck has opening sides, supporting movement aboard and access around the exterior without adding unnecessary complexity to the layout.
A concrete decision is whether to choose inboard or outboard propulsion: each changes overall length and working draft, while engine power also varies by package. Compare actual listings on CatamaranWorld, then inspect the specific Xquisite 40 PowerCat to verify installed propulsion, option inventory, convertible-bed operation, cockpit enclosure, deck mechanisms and measured clearance before contracting.
