The X430 sits between the already familiar X350 and X400 models and is aimed at owners of larger yachts - ideally from 20 metres upwards. Christian Grande, no stranger to Italian yacht design, is responsible for the lines. The result is a sporty, elegant tender with clear contours and a subtle aggressiveness.
The nose design immediately catches the eye: wide, with raised side pads that partially enclose the tubular profile - which not only looks good, but also increases comfort on board. The rubber strip along the side is more than just an ornament: it is reminiscent of the profile of the Cinturato Blue Full Wet, the wet racing tyre from Formula 1, making the connection to motorsport more than just a marketing slogan.
Comfort on board
A folding back cushion in the stern transforms the bench seat into a sun lounger in no time at all. The 4.30 metre long boat can accommodate up to seven people. Propulsion is provided by a 130 hp Rotax jet drive - quiet, efficient and flat-bottomed, as befits a tender. Practical: the removable steering wheel makes it easy to stow away in tight garages. Optional extras include a wakeboard holder and a waterproof bow bag.

The new Pit Lane version brings even more racing looks into play: black hull, optionally with red, yellow or white accents - an allusion to the well-known colour codes of the Pirelli racing tyres. So if you're looking for a bit of pit lane feeling on the water too, you'll find it here.
Expansion to a complete series
With the announcement of the larger sister model X460 for the spring, Sacs Tecnorib makes it clear that the X-Line will not just remain a niche toy, but will be systematically expanded into a complete series.
