<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6398" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CL Yachts (Company)">CL Yachts</a>’ 29.5-metre award-winning motor yacht CLX96 has reached a new milestone as it has been loaded onto a transport vessel for a transpacific voyage to the United States where it will undertake its sea trials. Notably, this is the builder’s first Sea Activity Vessel (SAV).<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/231055/image/large-c531db737d249616eb1ae145d7b237a2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/231055">The yacht CLX96 was recently loaded onto a transport vessel in Hong Kong, where she was built, and will pass through the Panama Canal enroute to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The explorer yacht was designed inside and out by the Milan-based designer <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5910" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Jozeph Forakis (Company)">Jozeph Forakis</a>, who penned her with rugged, captivating exterior lines – which CL Yachts believes “will no doubt appeal to American sensibilities.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/231057/image/large-b7ae33e279e629fbc22d8b39211c5496.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/231057"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5910" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Jozeph Forakis (Company)">Jozeph Forakis</a> drew inspiration from the commercial sector; the yacht CLX96 sports a two-level deck house and inverted windshield, which will smooth passage through rough waters a lot easier than if she was drawn with a traditional raked windshield. Furthermore, this design allows for more tranquil passages through more temperate waters, as it helps keep the yacht’s interior cooler. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/231290/image/large-de1e6434ebc7051be18d31f1140db05e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/231290"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/231291/image/large-f3ccc80431c230a2183dfdbf7339b72f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/231291"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/231289/image/large-5e9fd2e29ad164f9e87ad9484938f5ed.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/231289">The interior design of the CLX96 yacht is soothing and modern. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5910" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Jozeph Forakis (Company)">Jozeph Forakis</a> opted for a clean and minimalist styling, making great use of a soft muted colour palette. Guests onboard will benefit from large windows throughout the yacht, which offers plenty of light and outstanding views.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/231060/image/large-53fb83d215823bc91dbe83be65a8bde9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/231060">The CLX96 yacht also brings alfresco space in spades; she has a large sundeck with ample space both forward and aft. Two more decks grace the stern – the main deck, which cascades to her extendable swim platform.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/231058/image/large-7166b709179a3d502faf750549b1fb51.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/231058">This 99 GT motor yacht is draped in accolades and has already won a Good Design Award 2020, a Bronze A’ Design Award 2021, and bagged a trophy from the International Yacht &amp; Aviation Awards 2021.As many as eight guests can reside in the CLX96 yacht, across her four staterooms. Alongside three crew members. In terms of performance, this GRP explorer yacht can cruise at 22 knots and reach speeds of up to 25 knots at full load, thanks to twin <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1408" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Caterpillar Inc (Company)">CAT</a> engines. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/231059/image/large-ce4b9edbf4271d6ba4f726ca756542cc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/231059">Upon arrival in Florida, the CLX96 yacht will undergo sea trials with a select group of potential owners.

Thanks to her stabilisation options, including a Quick MC56 gyrostabiliser and Sidepower fins, she is very steady in a seaway as well.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/216403/image/large-4d9d5bc626f5fd1914a588c71d0d2c7a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/216403">Featuring exterior and interior design from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5910" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Jozeph Forakis (Company)">Jozeph Forakis</a>, while <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6114" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Alfaro Design (Company)">Alfaro Design</a> completed her naval architecture. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/54281" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CL Yachts launches first 30m CLX96 SAV (2021-12-15 11:00:00 +0100)">The yacht was launched in December</a> and can accommodate as many as eight guests between four staterooms.

SYT Synopsis: An overview of December

<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6398" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CL Yachts (Company)">CL Yachts</a> has launched its first Sea Activity Vessel (SAV), its CLX96 series. The 29.5-metre motor yacht has been built to a design by Milan-based designer <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5910" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Jozeph Forakis (Company)">Jozeph Forakis</a> who penned her exterior lines along with her interior styling.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/213832/image/large-9ab2d035265f3c5d23ecd3f86827145b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/213832">The yacht was preparing to be launched in October, but was postponed due to issues brought on by the pandemic.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/213831/image/large-7ffd33568dde4f383d0d111443455886.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/213831"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6398" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CL Yachts (Company)">CL Yachts</a> describes its CLX96 SAV series as “workboat chic”, combining the utility of a workboat with the level of aesthetic expected on a yacht. Her designer was inspired by a New York loft, “The yacht’s distinctive profile is born from observations of living habits at sea and reconsidering the preconceptions of space, comfort and conviviality. Of course, comfort is a priority on a luxury yacht, but I also want those onboard to always be aware that they are on a ‘vessel’ built to transport them through space and time,” explained <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5910" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Jozeph Forakis (Company)">Forakis</a>.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/213829/image/large-09026fc36491ac64944d870d2fb74f64.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/213829"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/213830/image/large-81c0bbee4754b17734c41c70944512c9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/213830">Her deckhouse is two levels and has reverse-sheer windshields that are highly functional. Not only do they help to maintain visibility in rough seas, as water washes away smoothly, but they also help to reduce a ‘greenhouse effect’ in the yacht’s interior, ensuring that the interior is always cool and comfortable.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/213834/image/large-3234e4304396eafa30de6fa11bee1835.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/213834">The yacht accommodates as many as eight guests across four staterooms, each of which have ample natural light due to skylights and large windows used throughout.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/213835/image/large-ed55a82c2ed65f62a1a548a91cf9874a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/213835">CLX96 SAV will be equipped with twin <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1408" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Caterpillar Inc (Company)">Caterpillar</a> C32 engines and will reach a top speed at 27 knots, when at half load, and will cruise comfortably at 22 knots.

CL Yachts launches first 30m CLX96 SAV

After being postponed due to the pandemic, CL Yachts has launched the first unit of its 30m CLX96 SAV series.

<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6398" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CL Yachts (Company)">CL Yachts</a> has announced that its first CLX96 Sea Activity Vehicle (SAV) motor yacht which is currently under construction at their Hong-Kong based shipyard, is nearing completion. Her construction began in late 2020 and she is preparing to be launched next month.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/179219/image/large-1a8609133b3ca059b6176bc5f6089299.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/179219" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">“It’s all coming together on CLX96 and it will be beautiful when the yacht is completed. The realisation of the designer’s vision is on track, and we are extremely proud of what is being achieved with our very first SAV,” commented Martin Lo, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6398" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CL Yachts (Company)">CL Yachts</a> Director.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/209682/image/large-d6907bcf5ec85715a174463e0e1b3fde.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/209682">Pandemic-induced supply chain issues have also proved challenging to the shipyard. “Throughout the significant challenges of the last 18 months, the team has rallied together and found a pathway to building our most complex and exciting yacht to date. We are reaching the final hurdles before CLX96 launches for the first time, and I am looking forward to showing the world the first of our remarkable crossover yachts from this design in the coming months,” added Lo.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/209684/image/large-e907f3a8a9aba6146f079de45e472ad5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/209684">The CLX96 SAV features naval architecture by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6114" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Alfaro Design (Company)">Alfaro Design</a> and interior and exterior styling by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5910" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Jozeph Forakis (Company)">Jozeph Forakis</a>. The yacht has already received widespread recognition, having &nbsp;won the award for the Concept Under 40 Metres from the International Yacht &amp; Aviation Awards as well as a GOOD Design Award and a Bronze A Design Award. Director Martin Lo remarked, “In order to be competitive in today’s market, you need to be daring and we believe that the CLX96 is a bold challenge of the status quo in its category.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/179221/image/large-e4fad525cefe8a82e32d5644f65656a5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/179221">CLX96 SAV is designed to blend the traditional explorer yacht features while ensuring comfort and luxury style on board. The versatile CLX96 offers open-planned and clean lines. She features a two-level, reverse angled deckhouse to maximise space, whilst her vertical bow further amplifies space down below. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/179223/image/large-66adc7ce88098a6f02e787111af37c50.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/179223">Designed to give an indoor-outdoor aesthetic, she features vast retractable windows and bi-folding doors on her flybridge, leading directly to her large al fresco dining space aft.

The design layout aims to blur the boundaries between the exterior and interiors.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/179226/image/large-383812aa6829b50184376c33a2a83c4c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/179226"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/179225/image/large-956fe02784b306ca225f10c6fd53d2d3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/179225"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/179224/image/large-4750645ca803725e56146a14989c636d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/179224">“We wanted to offer those aboard the SAV a truly authentic experience, one that nourishes body and soul and celebrates wellbeing– the true luxury of modern life,” says Martin Lo, director of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/517" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cheoy Lee (Company)">CL Yachts</a>.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/179227/image/large-9faa780e8745ad8ee413db6293dbfa06.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/179227"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/179232/image/large-001fe3840b9fd41fe82610253932a18e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/179232">The exterior design includes a spacious area on the foredeck, Piazza del Sole, with sun pads that can be transformed into a variety of furniture styles, such as a coffee table or sunbeds. The Terrazza Portoghese skydeck was designed to allow guests to flow freely from adjacent areas and suit entertainment purposes. The loft-like saloon interiors of the new model offer 360-degree views throughout the yacht, including in the master stateroom and full-beam VIP staterooms.<iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/iXJfRGfK9ks?&amp;t=131s&amp;ab_channel=CLYachts&amp;wmode=opaque" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe> “CLX96’s distinctive profile, which is instantly iconic, is born from observations of living habits at sea and reconsidering the preconceptions of space, comfort, and conviviality. I wanted the feeling of being on the ocean to follow you everywhere, inside and outside. I was born in a New York City loft, and I wanted to capture that sense of the limitless possibility of living in open spaces. I think it is analogous to the inspiration we feel from the expansive horizon of the sea and the endless quest of human potential,” says Jozeph Forakis.
