X-119 RAFALE
The X-Yachts 119 is a pre-owned motorboat that embodies the renowned Scandinavian tradition in shipbuilding, offering a highly valued combination of structural solidity, functional design, and high-end equipment. Built in 1988 under the supervision of designer Jeppesen, this model represents one of the great successes of the Danish brand X-Yachts, which for decades has been synonymous with innovation and quality in high-performance vessels. Based in Barcelona, province of Barcelona, this specimen presents itself as a unique option for those seeking a motorboat with a length of 11.96 meters, a beam of 3.3 meters, and a draft of 1.99 meters, ideal for both coastal navigation and tackling more ambitious crossings, including transoceanic ones.
The overall condition of this X-Yachts 119 is particularly noteworthy, resulting from a series of significant renovations and improvements made in recent years. In 2022, multiple repairs were carried out, and equipment specifically designed for Atlantic crossings was added, significantly increasing its reliability and autonomy. This is complemented by regular maintenance, with antifouling applied in June 2024, as well as inspections both inside and outside, keeping the boat in exceptional condition for its age.
The interior layout of the X-Yachts 119 follows a classic and efficient approach. Its main cabin includes a V-berth forward, a central salon with opposing seating to port and starboard, a galley to port, two additional cabins aft, and a bathroom located in the passage to the bow. This design allows for accommodating a family or a small group of crew members with total comfort, supported by an interior height of 1.85 meters and furniture made of noble woods, which remains in excellent condition. It offers six berths distributed across two cabins, with high-density foam cushions covered in marine vinyl and acrylic, providing extra comfort for long stays on board. The bathroom has been recently updated with a new cabinet, and the shower allows for a comfortable experience after days of sailing.
The kitchen is perfectly equipped for life on board. It features hot water, a refrigerator, a pressurized water system, and an Opumus two-burner LPG gas stove in optimal working condition, designed for preparing meals during crossings. Regarding comfort on deck, practical details such as speakers, a shower in the cockpit, and a swim ladder are included, allowing for full enjoyment of life at sea both while sailing and at anchor.
In terms of technical and safety aspects, the X-Yachts 119 from Barcelona offers an outstanding equipment package. It features state-of-the-art Raymarine navigation instruments: EV-100 autopilot, Axiom 9 plotter, I70 instruments, as well as integrated radar and GPS. Safety is reinforced with elements such as an Iridium GO satellite phone, EPIRB beacon, a Seamaster liferaft for six people, new fire extinguishers, and two life jackets with AIS. Onboard communication is ensured by a VHF with DSC and marine radio, in addition to a recently installed pedestal Suunto compass and wireless Raymarine wind and depth gauges located at the helm console.
The electrical system has been upgraded with two 1000-watt solar panels, a Rutlan wind generator, and a set of three 12-volt batteries with newly replaced wiring and boxes. This ensures energy autonomy even on long voyages without access to port. Among the deck equipment, the motorboat features Harken hardware and six Lewmar ST40/ST43 winches, facilitating sail handling and general maneuvering.
The Volvo Penta 2000 engine with 29 HP has undergone a recent comprehensive review in 2024, ensuring optimal performance and mechanical reliability. Additionally, it includes a folding two-blade propeller, 70-liter fuel tanks, and 120-liter water tanks, all aimed at maximizing autonomy and comfort during navigation.
The rigging consists of an aluminum mast and boom, with partially renewed standing rigging and sails in excellent condition: two mainsails (one new), a genoa with UV protection, and two spinnakers for racing. The Selden 200S furler on the forestay facilitates handling the genoa, and the anchoring equipment includes an additional stainless steel anchor and replaced ISO G30 chain. Among the extras, an inflatable dinghy with an engine and a floating anchor stand out, providing versatility for landings and emergency situations.
This X-Yachts 119 is located in one of the most attractive ports in the Mediterranean, with easy access to international routes and top-notch nautical services. Due to its equipment, condition, and capacity, it is particularly suitable for experienced sailors looking for a robust and well-maintained motorboat for long trips, as well as for families or enthusiasts wishing to start offshore sailing with guarantees of safety, comfort, and the backing of a world-renowned brand.
