CLX96 and CLB65 to Debut at FLIBS 2022
At the 2022 edition of the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show CL Yachts will display two new models, CLX96 and CLB65.
The award-winning CLX96 has been created in collaboration with international designer Jozeph Forakis, with structural engineering from Albert Horsmon and naval architecture from Earl Alfaro.
CLX96, CL Yachts new flagship, heralds the establishment of the new X-Series that will be joined by more models in the future. The versatile CLX96 has a ‘workboat chic’ two-level, reverse-angle deckhouse using inverted trapezoids that maximize space as well as reduce glare and heat, while the plumb bow further amplifies accommodation while providing hydrodynamic efficiency.
The main deck’s vast windows and bi-fold doors are echoed in the flybridge’s glazing with retractable windows on three sides, seamlessly leading guests from the sky lounge and pilothouse to the sky deck alfresco dining area aft. Other exterior social zones include the “Terrazza Portoghese” forward of the sky lounge, the “Piazza del Sole” seating and sunning area on the foredeck, and the expansive stern beach club at the waterline with its hydraulically-submerging swim platform.
Below deck, she features a four-cabin layout, including a full-beam master suite. Powered by twin 1900 hp Caterpillar C32 engines, she has a maximum speed of over 25 knots at full load.
CLB65 is built upon the combined expertise of naval architect Howard Apollonio and leading marine structural engineers Gurit. With a resin-infused composite hull, the vessel uses carbon fiber strategically; the yacht’s streamlined silhouette is complemented by modern interiors.
The main deck’s expansive windows allow natural light to flow throughout the space. Conveniently located between aft deck and salon, the open-style galley serves both areas and is the ideal place for gathering. Up top, the expansive flybridge has an electric grill and abundant seating for lounging.
Located midship on the lower deck, the full-beam master stateroom, the VIP stateroom is located forward, and the guest cabin has twin beds.
CLB65 is powered by twin VOLVO IPS1050 Pod Drives and has a top speed of 27 knots.
CL Yachts’ goal is to offer unparalleled experiences to the modern explorer. The luxury performance brand stands apart from its competitors thanks to its unique approach to design – driven by CL Yacht’s core value of innovation. Fusing progressive design with engineering prowess and state-of-the-art technology, every element of CL Yachts’ vessels are meticulously geared to steer luxury into uncharted territories.
