The XS2000 is an interesting fusion of Buzzi's race-proven technology and signature lines and Sunseeker's sensual yet always unique curves. The sleek and narrow twin-stepped hull is eye pleasing, yet at the same time, looking at the design always reveals a tangent or two to what was initially expected. Features such as an anti-stuff nose, a unique low-sided cockpit design and windscreen console, no strakes behind the aft step, and Trimax drives are just a few things which set the XS2000 apart from other boats at the dock.
With a beautiful high-tech web site, Blubay Yachts showcases a nice range of both sail and power yacht design.

Images of Blubay yachts capture the imagination yet at the same time their lines are distinct and have a realness so after just a glimpse one already has the feeling that they have been aboard a special yacht.
