Yacht X Tender, a division of Lynx Yachts, is proud to announce that the building of the first 20-metre superyacht support vessel YXT is progressing well and according to the schedule. The yacht is under construction in Holland just as all YXT vessels and is in the painting stage at the moment. She has already completed all the system and power plant installations.

As opposed to the 24m YXT boasting a grey livery and delivered in 2014, the new 20-metre will have a white livery, providing her with ah fresher and more marine-like appearance. This colour choice also emphasises the gamma’s production philosophy: created for carrying extra toys and gadgets, the yacht’s use is closer to the fun and leisure aspects of seagoing.
