Focus Motor Yachts steps into a new dimension with the 5X, a 16.50-metre performance cruiser that refuses to choose between open-air exhilaration and enclosed comfort. Hydraulic side windows fold away at the touch of a button, an electric glass roof retracts overhead, and the convertible deck transforms the entire social space from sealed saloon to wide-open sundeck in seconds. It is a genuine dual-personality yacht, designed for owners who want one boat that covers every mood.
Below the styling sits a deep-V hull hand-laid in fiberglass with integrated structural bulkheads, delivering the stiffness Focus builds its reputation on. Two propulsion packages let buyers tune the character: twin Volvo Penta D11 IPS 950 pods for quiet docking and tight-quarters agility, or twin MAN I6 850 shaft drives for those who prefer a more traditional drivetrain with raw torque. Either setup draws from a 2,500-litre fuel reserve.
The interior layout is fully configurable. One, two or three cabins can be arranged around the owner’s priorities, with the master suite centred on an extended 2.25-metre berth. Up to two bathrooms keep overnight guests comfortable, while the main deck’s full-beam saloon seats a larger day party in a single, unbroken volume.
Built in the Netherlands and certified to CE Category B, the 5X carries a full-width hydraulic swim platform, an integrated dinghy garage and the kind of bespoke finish Focus includes as standard, right down to exterior colour and interior material selection. Every hull is a one-off.

Fifty knots and more is a serious number for a sixteen and a half metre hull.
Focus offers the 5X with a choice of propulsion built for two different owners. Twin Volvo Penta D11 IPS 950 pod drives give quiet docking, tight turning circles and effortless manoeuvring in a crowded marina. Twin MAN I6 850 shaft drives trade some of that agility for a more traditional feel and raw torque underway. Either way, 2,500 litres of fuel sit beneath a deep V hull hand laid in fibreglass with its own structural bulkheads, the stiffness the yard has built its reputation on. It is a rare motor yacht that lets the owner pick the character of the drivetrain rather than accepting whatever the builder specifies.
Her bow stands tall and almost vertical, and that choice pays for itself across three decks.
Focus has drawn the 5X around maximising usable space rather than following a conventional sports cruiser profile, and the vertical stem buys extra volume forward without lengthening the hull. The real signature, though, is the convertible deck. Hydraulic side windows fold away and an electric glass roof retracts overhead, turning the enclosed, coupe style saloon into an open sundeck in seconds, the same dayboat and coupe hybrid concept Focus first proved on its smaller 3X. No two 5X hulls leave the yard looking the same, since colour and exterior material are chosen individually by each owner.
The cockpit does not stop at the transom. It keeps going.
Seating and a sunbed unit run straight through the open transom and down over the aft steps to the hydraulic swim platform, blurring the line between cockpit and sea in the style of a high end Mediterranean dayboat. Inside, a long galley runs the length of the port side, feeding a saloon built for socialising rather than formal dining. A two person helm sits centred rather than offset, and the forward end of the starboard dinette turns to face aft, so guests can talk to the skipper underway instead of staring at the bulkhead. It is deck planning built around how people actually move and sit on board, not around brochure symmetry.
Two cabins, configured for comfort rather than maximum headcount.
The owner’s cabin runs the full beam, built around an extended 2.25 metre berth, with its own ensuite and a separate day heads close by. Forward, the VIP cabin carries its own private facilities, a shower to port and a heads to starboard, kept apart so two couples can cruise together without compromise. Focus builds the layout around the owner’s priorities rather than a fixed brochure plan, and the 5X can be specified with up to two bathrooms in total, each finished in materials the owner selects hull by hull.
Every 5X is a commission, not a catalogue order.
Built in the Netherlands and certified to CE Category B for coastal cruising, the 5X measures 16.50 metres overall on a 4.4 metre beam, with 2,500 litres of fuel aboard. A full width hydraulic swim platform and an integrated dinghy garage come as standard, and day capacity runs to ten guests across two cabins. Focus includes bespoke exterior colour and interior material selection as part of the build rather than a paid option, which is why no two hulls look alike. For an owner who wants genuine performance, real flexibility between open and enclosed cruising, and a yacht finished entirely to their own taste, the 5X is a considered answer.
