The flagship of the #yanmar brand, the X47 is a high-performance 47-foot cruiser designed by #kenokuyama that combines stunning performance with sublime comfort. The Express Cruiser was developed for a new marine island-hopping lifestyle where families can travel at high-speed from the marina to uninhabited islands then relax and spend time cruising at leisure.

The award was given in the Product #design category where the X47 was recognized for its exceptional performance, space and facilities that evoke the comforts of home, and superb operability with Yanmar's unique joystick.

About the X47 Express Cruiser
