CLX99

Buying a yacht still under construction changes what ownership looks like from the outset: no survey to commission on delivery, no previous owner's choices to inherit, only a fixed specification to confirm before she is finished. CL Yachts is building the CLX99 for delivery in 2027, a 100-foot flybridge motor yacht coming out of Zhuhai. At 96 gross tons she is laid out for ten guests in five cabins, built to be handed to her first owner rather than her second.

Build and provenance

The CLX99 is built in GRP, hull and superstructure both, with a teak deck over a monohull flybridge layout. As an in-build yacht her provenance is her build slot rather than a history: everything from the lamination to the systems is new and specified now rather than inherited from an earlier owner.

Layout and accommodation

Ten guests are berthed across five cabins, with a crew of five aboard to run her, an even one-to-one ratio between guest cabins and crew that points to a fully staffed experience rather than a lean one.

Performance and engineering

She is specified to cruise at 22 knots, a pace suited to a flybridge motor yacht moving between anchorages rather than covering long open-water legs. Her beam is 24 feet, 7.32 metres, giving the CLX99 the stability a flybridge layout needs at that length.

Where she lies and how to see her

The CLX99 is building in Zhuhai, China. Boatcrowd can arrange a viewing at her build stage or once she is finished, and once an offer is accepted, survey and sea trial follow ahead of handover.
