When CLX96 debuted during FLIBS 2022, the head-turning design and function-fit performance showed CL Yachts was not only drawing on its 150-year heritage but was also firmly focused on the future. CLX96’s bold styling came as the result of a decision to look outside the traditional yacht sector for design inspiration, and that in turn led the yard to Milan-based Jozeph Forakis of forakis design.
That decision was instantly validated when Forakis produced a design that centered on function while emphasizing a brilliantly bold form rooted in rugged workboat ethos – the perfect platform for a modern, go-anywhere cruising yacht.
Now the yard and Forakis have taken their tour-de-force CLX design a step further with the unveiling of CLX99. At first glance, it is clear the new CLX99 draws heavily on her sibling, and not just in styling and design DNA.
