Extra X98 RPH Motor Yacht

Ten guests across five cabins, with a crew of four looking after them: that is the balance the Extra X98 RPH is built around. Extra Yachts is building this twenty-nine-metre flybridge motor yacht for delivery in 2027, a size where the guest-to-crew ratio says as much about the boat as her length does.

Build and provenance

She is a monohull, one of Extra Yachts' X98 RPH models, currently in build with delivery set for 2027. At twenty-nine metres, with a beam of seven point seven metres and a draft of one point eight metres, her proportions can be read directly against a berth or a marina's draft limit.

Layout and accommodation

Five cabins hold her ten guests, and a crew of four is kept to their own quarters, a ratio that points to comfortable service rather than a lean delivery crew. As a flybridge motor yacht, she carries an extra deck of open living space above the main saloon, over and above the interior cabins below.

Performance and engineering

Three Volvo Penta engines power the Extra X98 RPH, each rated at 1,000 hp on IPS 1350 pod drives, giving a cruising speed of twenty-two knots and a top speed of twenty-eight knots:

On deck and at anchor

Fold-down balconies are her one standout deck feature: panels that lower from the hull to turn a cabin or the saloon wall into an open platform above the water, rather than leaving guests behind a fixed window.

Where she lies and how to see her

Her build is under way in Italy. We can put a viewing in the diary at whatever stage she has reached and join you for it; when an offer is accepted, the survey and sea trial that come next are ours to organise too.
