Holterman’s newest model was an extreme labor of love.
The X-95, the latest addition to the Xtreme range, has been some 60 years in the making, according to the Dutch yard. The 95-foot newcomer sits neatly between the X-78 and the X-105, combining the performance and handling of the smaller 78-footer with the superyacht features of the larger 105-footer.

Holterman poured more than half a century of boatbuilding experience into the project, with the goal of creating the perfect 95-footer for both cruising and charter. The team also looked at customer feedback on the Xtreme range to ensure the new model would meet the needs of discerning seafarers.
“The Xtreme range may be very new—and the X-95 the newest of those—but Holterman is not,” CEO Robbert Holterman said in a statement. “The X-95 really is the culmination of everything we have done and everything we have learned over six decades of building exceptional yachts.”
Designed in collaboration with Dutch studio Bernd Weel, the widebody yacht features a sleek, all-aluminum exterior and a reliable, twin-shaft drivetrain that enables a top speed of 24 knots and a range of 1,800 nautical miles at 15 knots. It is also fitted with a modern exhaust treatment system that meets the latest IMO Tier III emission standards.
Onboard, a stunning raised pilothouse creates what Holterman describes as “acres” of exterior and interior living space. On the main deck, a huge salon leads to a forward owner’s suite with a luxurious private terrace. Below, the lower deck is outfitted with four generous guest cabins and large crew quarters.
“We believe the X-95 is something really special,” adds designer Bernd Weel. “One of the main focuses right from the start was to create a lot of exterior space for outdoor living, but at the same time maximizing interior space for a full five-cabin layout—we also really wanted to design the yacht to be optimized for potential charter, so the integration of captain and crew has been paramount in the design.”
Outside, the main deck cockpit sports an alfresco dining area forward and a sizable lounge area aft. Further aft, the enclosed garage can store a 20-foot tender, while the swim platform provides direct access to the sea. Up top, the sundeck combines a bar, lounge, and helm forward with a spa aft. The sundeck deck can be tailored to the owner, too. May we suggest adding an outdoor cinema?
