Owner Experience Review
Public owner reports on the CLX96are still limited—hull 1 was sold, named 'Reunion,' and listed for charter—but the intended use profile is well defined. Reviewers highlight family cruising and weekend entertaining thanks to expansive main‑deck living, multiple lounge zones, and transformable outdoor areas, including the flexible foredeck "Piazza del Sole" and generous al‑fresco dining and upper‑deck lounge spaces. Inside, the main saloon’s thin mullions and large glazing deliver exceptional natural light and sightlines.
On the water, sea‑trial coverage describes a quiet, smooth ride; one tester wrote, "Our two hours offshore feel more like a pleasure cruise than a trial." Reported cruising feels comfortable around 19.5–22 knots, with test top speeds roughly 24–27 knots (builder guidance around 25), and noise levels as low as about 71 dB at the top end. The lower‑deck owner’s cabin with a large skylight and full‑beam ensuite, plus a full‑beam VIP amidships, earn consistent praise for space and layout.
Engineering reflects Cheoy Lee’s shipbuilding heritage: a commercial‑style engine room, chunky/oversized deck gear, and a build approach that favors serviceability, with classification‑minded structure and access emphasized. Propulsion is twin Caterpillar C32 ACERTs (~1,900 hp per original spec), backed by a global service network, though high‑power diesel maintenance costs should be expected. Notably, forum and news searches have not surfaced widespread owner‑posted mechanical issues to date, but the sample size remains small.
Pros and Cons
- Flexible family and charter layout with multiple lounges, a foredeck "Piazza del Sole," and large al‑fresco and upper‑deck social areas.
- Quiet, smooth running with a comfortable 19.5–22‑knot cruise and reported mid‑20s top speed.
- Commercial‑style engineering and service access, plus twin CAT C32s with a global support network.
- Limited volume of independent owner‑reported reliability data so far.
- High‑power diesel maintenance costs expected despite good serviceability.
- Reported top speed is in the mid‑20‑knot range, not for buyers chasing 30‑knot performance.
