Designed by Niels Jeppesen and built in Denmark to X-Yachts' exacting standards, the X-43 is a superb example of a true performance cruiser that ticks all the boxes. The stiff hull structure, supported by X-Yachts' renowned internal steel frame, delivers a powerful yet beautifully balanced yacht with exceptional upwind performance that is simply a joy to sail. Thoughtful deck ergonomics, premium hardware, and refined Scandinavian joinery below decks reflect a design that prioritises both sailing performance and long-term cruising comfort. The result is a yacht that remains as engaging to sail today as it was when first launched, with enduring appeal for discerning sailors.

Stepping below, the beautifully crafted teak interior paired with crisp white finishes creates a light, warm and inviting ambience. To starboard, the generous dinette comfortably seats eight on freshly upholstered settees, making it ideal for entertaining or relaxing at anchor. Opposite, the well-appointed galley is fully equipped for extended cruising, featuring a large top-loading fridge, two-burner gas stove with oven, double stainless-steel sink with hot and cold pressurised water, and excellent storage throughout. The accommodation layout is superbly designed to suit both family cruising and a full race crew. Forward, the master cabin offers a spacious double V-berth, lounge seating, and a private ensuite complete with toilet, shower, and vanity. Aft are two private double cabins, complemented by a second full bathroom. A traditional chart table completes the interior, with Raymarine display and VHF radio conveniently positioned for navigation and communication underway.
On deck, the spacious cockpit is thoughtfully laid out for effortless sailing, whether cruising short-handed or racing competitively. All lines are led aft to the cabin top, the mainsail is in a boom bag with lazy jacks, and the headsail is on a furler, making sail handling simple and efficient. A Raymarine autopilot further enhances ease of operation, making her a pleasure to sail even single-handed. The comprehensive electronics package includes a Raymarine Axiom chartplotter, wind, speed and depth displays at the companionway, plus additional mast-mounted displays. Wide side decks provide safe, easy access forward, and anchoring is straightforward with the near-new Manson anchor.
Power is provided by the 2019 Volvo Penta D2-40 diesel engine with saildrive and three-blade folding propeller. With low engine hours and having been meticulously maintained, this provides reliable and economical cruising at 6 knots.
With exceptional build quality, genuine bluewater capability, and the perfect balance of performance and comfort, "Scaramouche" is a yacht not to be missed. Superbly maintained and thoughtfully upgraded, this is the yacht to turn your sailing dreams into reality!
