The vessel is the largest yacht ever designed by the New Zealand shipyard.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/379992/image/large-70fa8863a330275efcda29661b4b1556.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/379992">Built on Voodoo’s record-setting hydrofoil catamaran platform, the XF450 features naval architecture and exterior design all penned by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7834" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Voodoo Yachts (Company)">Voodoo Yachts</a>, while her interior design was crafted by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7538" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Christian Oliver Design (Company)">Christian Oliver Design</a>.&nbsp;“The XF450 represents the evolution of what we believe in and have pioneered, using advanced technology and innovative design to blend features and capabilities that traditionally compete. And in doing so unlocking the oceans to a greater level than ever before,” said a representative from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7834" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Voodoo Yachts (Company)">Voodoo Yachts</a>.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/379987/image/large-cda387fdaf6b02036cd6f2dfcac62d93.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/379987">Inside the beach club, the space transitions into a versatile studio that can be configured for fitness, yoga, massage or spa treatments. Dedicated access to a sauna or hammam, cold plunge, shower and dayhead elevates the area into a complete wellness sanctuary. A disappearing aft door and fold-down balconies further open the deck to the water, creating an immersive oceanfront lounge.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/379986/image/large-2b68ae3bedf8c721ec991107b1ec8265.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/379986"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7538" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Christian Oliver Design (Company)">Christian Oliver Design</a> has crafted interiors that emphasise openness, natural light and a refined but active lifestyle. Neutral fabrics, light woods and sculpted textures create a warm, calm atmosphere. Plush white sofas and armchairs gather around woven tables on textured rugs, reinforcing a contemporary but natural aesthetic.At the centre of the yacht, a dramatic three-deck light well, the “living tower”, flows with greenery and acts as a vertical garden, connecting the beach club, saloon and upper-deck bar. This feature floods the yacht with daylight and lends the interior an organic, architectural presence.&nbsp;Additionally, large glass doors with flush sills allow the aft deck’s teak flooring to continue seamlessly inside. Fold-down balconies expand the saloon into a 72-square-metre open-air living zone, blending sea views, open space and indoor comfort.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/379984/image/large-793424f11f09b429e1e98f6809cc8c34.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/379984">With a 10.5-metre beam and an interior volume of 450 GT, the XF450 accommodates five guest staterooms, including a full-beam owner’s suite with sweeping 180-degree views. Owners may customise the yacht extensively, choosing an open or enclosed flybridge and tailoring interior layouts to their lifestyle.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/379989/image/large-dc14457ef37354de71bcb25c6485a301.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/379989">Moving outside, the XF450 places its full-beam beach club at the heart of the yacht’s design. Opening on three sides, the space dissolves the boundaries between the interior and the sea. The teak-clad aft deck forms a wide, over-water platform furnished with white chaise lounges, low tables and generous lounging space for sunbathing and water sports. Broad staircases to port and starboard rise from the water’s edge into the beach club, reinforcing the yacht’s indoor-outdoor flow.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/379988/image/large-fd9b6e6a9be5f420b8fd4c96a173ecb6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/379988"> This lower-deck environment is conceived not only for relaxation but also for activity. The yacht features a fitness bicycle and yoga mats, highlighting the yacht’s focus on movement, exploration and wellness.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/379985/image/large-864f3b5815f13457b78f635df5224ae7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/379985">The XF450 cruises comfortably at 25 to 30 knots, while she reaches an estimated top speed of 35 to 40 knots.
