Project: Storm X-55

Storm present the project for a new X-55, which is a continuance of the Storm X-53 F, a model specifically designed for the French canals, with a maximum clearance of 3.40 meters. The lack of clearance limitations provided us with even more design freedom, and allowed us to develop the X-55 in a wheelhouse and flybridge version. With a hull length of just over sixteen meters and beam of a lit bit more to four meters, the X-55 is is an exceptionally spacious live-aboard yacht for two with a wealth of luxury and comfort. As all Storm the X-55 also features an FDHF hull combined with the Volvo IPS system.

Project: Storm X-44

Meetings with clients and owners have led Storm yachts to the development of a new project at the lower end of it's production size range: the X-44. From a distance this project is clearly identifiable as true Storm yachts, and even with a limited hull length of just over thirteen meters, the model will still offer everything that makes the brand unique in the market.  The X-44 supplements the range in the shortest length. With strong lines and a masculine appearance, it is an eye-catching day cruiser. Yet, as applies to all Storm, noblesse oblige! The combination of the FDHF hull with Volvo IPS pod propulsion system ensures a superior performance and optimal maneuverability, comfort and ease of operation for a premium boating experience.
