Holterman has added a fair-weather version to its Xtreme series. The 78 Flybridge is based on the Xtreme Sport from 2022, which was created for the Dutch canals and northern climes

Designer Bernd Weel took the voluminous aluminium structure measuring 23.9 by 6.18 metres and crowned it with an airy terrace for the Mediterranean. "I love these chaise longues that flank the helm station," says Weel, "the captain is not alone and enjoys the unobstructed view forward." The design team added two wings that arch over the side decks to give the higher deckhouse a wider look. The 58-tonner fulfils the owner's wish for a seat close to the water with a bench above the swimming platform.

Safety on board the Xtreme yachts is paramount

Safety is the top priority on board: a thermal imaging camera hangs on the mast to accompany man-overboard manoeuvres at night. The maximum speed on the papers is 26 knots, the cruising speed is 20 knots and the range (at 13 knots) is specified as 450 nautical miles. The first 78 Fly will be delivered this spring and is expected to continue the success of the Xtreme 105. The 33 metre"Lady Fleur" marked the start of the series in 2022.

Editor News & Panorama

Uske was born just outside Volkswagen in 1970 and tested various small boats with sails through her boyfriend (now husband 😊) on a quarry pond. Her studies in Kiel took her to the Baltic Sea with boats of all kinds and eventually to a regatta from Hong Kong to Mauritius via the Academic Sailing Club. Her teacher training ended at the Burda School of Journalism in Munich instead of in the classroom and finally at Boote Exclusiv. After a long break and various stories about house building, she returned to Delius Klasing and has been filling the magazine with long stories about large ships ever since. A family-owned H-boat was quickly sold again as the mother realized that sailing with two small children was neither relaxing nor fun.
