Katie is an outstanding example of the XO 270 Explorer Front Cabin, combining exceptional Scandinavian design with the strength and performance of XO Boats' renowned military-grade aluminium deep-V hull. Built in 2020 and presented as a 2021 model, she delivers a remarkably capable offshore ride while maintaining the comfort and practicality required for extended cruising and weekend adventures.
Meticulously maintained and presented in excellent condition with no damage history, Katie is offered as a genuine turn-key opportunity. Recent maintenance includes a full engine service and comprehensive hull treatment completed in May 2026, with the hull stripped back to bare aluminium before receiving new aluminium primer, barrier coat and International antifouling.
Powered by twin Yamaha F250 V6 outboards with only 178 hours, Katie cruises comfortably at 25 knots and reaches speeds of up to 47 knots. Yamaha's advanced Skyhook station-keeping system, electro-hydraulic steering and 12V electric bow thruster provide outstanding control, making docking and close-quarters manoeuvring effortless.
The sought-after Front Cabin Explorer layout offers comfortable accommodation for couples or small families, featuring a double berth, single berth and drop-down saloon. Onboard amenities include an electric toilet with holding tank, hot water system, cockpit galley with fridge/freezer, stainless steel sink and portable gas burner.
Navigation and onboard systems are equally impressive, with Garmin GPS, chartplotter, radar and depth sounder, Yamaha autopilot, Navicom AIS and VHF communications. Safety equipment includes a six-person liferaft, EPIRB, electric and manual bilge pumps, fire extinguisher and full anchoring package.
Registered in Poland with EU VAT paid, Katie is currently lying in Bali, Indonesia and represents an ideal platform for coastal cruising, island exploration and offshore adventures throughout Asia and beyond.
Worldwide delivery is available at the buyer's expense and a shipping quotation can be provided upon request.
Inspection is highly recommended for buyers seeking a premium high-performance explorer with exceptional build quality, low hours and extensive recent maintenance.
