OXO | Dixon Yacht Design

OXO

Our reputation has been built on the design of large, ocean going sailing yachts that must perform efficiently, comfortably, and reliably in all conditions. This heritage gives us a powerful advantage when designing an efficient, next generation motor yacht.

Developed in collaboration with Design Unlimited, OXO combines timeless exterior proportions with a sophisticated contemporary interior, creating a yacht that is both elegant and forward-looking.

Efficiency isn’t about one change, its about a multitude of smart decisions working together. Her long and slender hull form lowers the wave making resistance whilst her CFD (computer fluid dynamics) optimised stern sections ensure reduced transom immersion and associated drag.

For this motor yacht, that philosophy extends beyond hydrodynamic efficiency to onboard energy generation. Over 100 m² of integrated solar panels harvest between 70 and 90 kWh of energy per day in the Mediterranean, contributing approximately 20% to the yacht’s overall hotel load. From the outset, solar energy has been treated as a core design driver rather than an add on — fully integrated into the architecture, power management strategy, and visual language of the yacht.

The drive train features twin controlable pitch Hundested Propellers.

Design Unlimited has developed a sophisticated contemporary interior that brings together understated luxury, comfort and practicality.

Organic forms, bespoke detailing and a carefully selected mix of natural materials create spaces that feel warm, welcoming and set the scene for relaxed living.

Large areas of glazing maximise natural light and scenic views, while the layout has been developed to support modern life on board, resulting in an interior that is elegant, refined and practical.
