Yanmar’s X47 Express Cruiser Exclusive Edition by Hiroshi Fujiwara

The X47FRGMT by fragment design was produced on the platform of the Yanmar’s X47 EXPRESS CRUISER, created as the globally-renowned marine engine company’s flagship yacht for the next 100 years.

The hull of the X47 delivers a unique fusion of the cool image of a powerboat and the elegance of a cruiser, featuring a living space with natural light, two en-suite cabins, lounge and kitchen. One of the highlights of the X47 EXPRESS CRUISER is how its beautiful form belies its stature as a 47-foot cruiser developed by international industrial designer Ken Okuyama.

At the helm station, which is connected to the cockpit by a naturally flowing layout, is a next-generation dashboard with touchscreen panel capable of centrally operating the cruiser’s three 8LV turbo diesel engines. The intuitive Yanmar joystick control system makes steering the X47 a breeze.

Production of the complex, beautiful X47 EXPRESS CRUISER was completed by AZIMUT YACHTS. The X47 EXPRESS CRUISER has brought together this high-class famous Italian boat builder, its superior FRP technology married with fine interiors where brilliant craftsmanship shines, and former Ferrari designer Ken Okuyama.

Fujiwara’s “fragment design” label is taking on its largest project to date: the X47FRGMT. Working on this cruiser traveling on the water at40 knots, with many limitations in terms of space efficiency, weight and safety, they produced a highly attractive interior by discussing with engineers everything down to the finest details and uncompromisingly selecting materials together with Yanmar’s designers.

Surprisingly, the lounge of this cutting-edge cruiser is covered with vintage carpet. Another new approach can be seen in the bench seating that runs from the afterdeck to the cabin. These elements combined deliver a new style of marine life with a space in which people can relax as though attending a home party.

The X47 EXPRESS CRUISER is a masterpiece created by a dream teamcombining world-leading engineering, design and production. With its dark gray body color, the X47FRGMT is a breath of fresh air: a true flagship for the future.
