Dutch builder Focus Motoryachts is breaking the mold with a new flagship featuring a cockpit that extends right over the transom
There’s a new flagship on the way at Dutch builder, Focus Motoryachts, and it comes with quite an unusual deck layout.
At the aft end, the Focus 5X’s cockpit’s seating and sunbed unit extends through the open transom and over the aft steps to the hydraulic platform, in the style of a high-end Med dayboat.
Further forward, the saloon adopts a more classical coupé solution, with a long port galley, a two-man helm in the centre and aft-facing lounge seating at the forward end of the starboard dinette so you can keep the skipper company. This space can still be opened up, thanks to a set of hydraulic side windows and a large electric glass roof.

The flagship 5X uses the same dayboat/coupé hybrid approach as the smaller 3X
The layout down below is usefully flexible too.
The full-beam ensuite owner’s cabin leads onto a separate day heads, with a galley to port and either a lounge or a bunk cabin to starboard. And the forward VIP cabin comes with its own private facilities, attractively split between a port shower and a starboard heads.
