CL Yachts is thrilled to announce that its first Sea Activity Vessel (SAV), the award-winning CLX96, is currently enroute to the United States. The yacht was recentlyloaded onto a transport vessel and is making the long trek across the Pacific Oceanandthrough the Panama Canal with a final destination of the Yachting Capital ofthe World, Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
CLX96, while built for an international clientele, is exceptionally outfitted for theU.S. market. Her rugged, eye-catching lines, penned by Milan-based designerJozeph Forakis, will no doubt appeal to American sensibilities. She takes some ofher design cues from workboats, with a two-level deckhouse and an invertedwindshield that will clear rough water much more quickly than a traditionally rakedwindshield. The design also helps keep the yacht’s interior cool by reducing anygreenhouse effect given by overhanging glass
True to its crossover aesthetic, CLX96 has both speed and long range performanceready for whatever adventures await her owner. A focus on interior volume willalso keep passengers happy, with enormous decks on which to luxuriate whileunderway—with private spaces to steal away for a quiet cup of coffee or a momentwith a book. When the yacht needs to get to port quickly,it can make an impressive24-25 knots at full speed and full load.
CLX96’s innovative design and unparalleled performance has not escaped the eyesof contest judges worldwide. It’s already won a GOOD DESIGN Award 2020, aBronze A’ Design Award 2021, and the prestigious award from the InternationalYacht & Aviation Awards 2021.

Then CL Yachts will begin readyingher for the bigstage at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, where she issureto impress showgoers and attract an ever-growing list of new American admirers.
