EXTRA Yachts Partners with Denison Yachting
By Sarah Nadler
EXTRA Yachts appoints Denison as its newest exclusive dealer in the Americas.
Denison is pleased to announce its partnership with EXTRA Yachts as its exclusive representative for North & South America, Central America and Mexico.
EXTRA Yachts specializes in the development of yachts with a strong personality. Its distinctive lines are combined in a variety of motor yacht models ranging from 90 to 130 feet and a 30-meter motor catamaran, all characterized by highly livable interiors and exteriors, reduced consumption, and a good range. Developed thanks to the advanced technical experience of ISA Yachts, EXTRA offers customers all the advantages of being part of the Palumbo Superyachts network.
Managing Director of EXTRA Yachts, Antonio Palumbo Jr., shared: “We are very excited to partner with Denison Yachting to help expand the EXTRA brand presence in the Americas. The American market is a world of opportunity for yachting. Denison’s strength and expertise will offer exceptional customer service and ample opportunity to develop our presence in the region.”
Yacht broker Alex G. Clarke is teaming up with fellow Denison broker Gary Hardcastle to promote the brand within their territories. Alex commented: “EXTRA Yachts is a dynamic shipyard that I feel will continue to gain market share in the America’s with their portfolio of express and tri-deck motor yachts. Personally speaking, I feel Gary Hardcastle & Antonio Palumbo are the perfect team to help grow the brand. Both are very driven and I feel focus specifically on the demographic of clientele that EXTRA Yachts appeals to. Francesco Carbone, general manager of Palumbo Superyachts, is a longtime friend and we have a relationship dating back for almost 15 years.
Combine that with Antonio Romano of Hot Lab, who is behind the new series offered by EXTRA Yachts (X90 Fast and X98 RPH)–and also is a longtime friend–and we immediately have a team that has fantastic rapport, which will be invaluable when introducing the brand to the Americas. Early in my career, I had an opportunity to work with the Palumbo family, so it’s great to see this relationship come full circle and to be working with them again, years down the road. I am excited to see what Gary Hardcastle and Denison Yachting can do with EXTRA Yachts.”
There are currently six EXTRA models available for sale exclusively with Denison. The new X98 RPH concept model stands as the progenitor of the new EXTRA design philosophy, with a sophisticated contemporary style. The main feature of the model is the two-and-a-half-deck layout, albeit the volumes of the latter are considerably deceived by the design of the exterior lines, leading the observer to believe that it is a classic two-deck with flybridge.
130' EXTRA 2025 | X130 Triplex
The EXTRA X130 Triplex is the flagship in the EXTRA line of yachts which feature an aggressive yet elegant design. The X130 Triplex combines the ability of an explorer yacht by boasting an impressive 3,000nm range and large interior volume of 300GRT while maintaining her beautiful profile lines that are easily recognizable as a member of the EXTRA fleet.
100' EXTRA 2025 | X30 Villa
The EXTRA X30 Villa enters the power catamaran market with distinctive styling and an eco-friendlier approach to yachting with a hybrid propulsion system. Catamarans have a clear advantage over a mono hull specifically with space and stability when at anchor. EXTRA Yachts features a design that combines interior and exterior spaces into one. Sleeping up to 10 guests in 5 cabins with additional accommodations for 5 crew in 3 cabins, she provides spaces typically only found on larger mono hulls.
99' EXTRA 2024 | X99 Fast
The EXTRA 99 Fast is a fantastic platform that offers high performance with excellent exterior lounge spaces. Her aggressive yet elegant profile lines are what one would expect from EXTRA Yachts. The triple-engine package and water jets give her an impressive top speed of 44 knots and a cruising speed in the mid to high 30s–combined with a shallow draft, she is the perfect Bahamas boat. The interior layout sleeps up to 8 guests in 4 cabins including a spacious VIP and full-beam master. Crew accommodations can be configured in a 2- or 3-cabin layout sleeping up to 5 crew.
98' EXTRA 2025 | X98 RPH
The EXTRA X98 Raised Pilot House sleeps 10 guests in 5 cabins including an on-deck master and 4 additional guest cabins located down below. She has a surprisingly impressive interior volume with a main salon that utilizes glass and natural light to fill a space that features both formal dining and lounge areas. Combine that with a massive aft deck that allows easy access to the water and a sundeck complete with alfresco dining, lounge pads, and a second helm, and you have an extremely inviting layout. Milan-based design studio Hot Lab has done an excellent job of utilizing spaces yet maintaining a sexy yet elegant profile.
96' EXTRA 2025 | X96 Triplex
The EXTRA X96 Triplex is a “triple bridge yacht” comprised of three decks in a sub-100ft model where 10 guests can sleep in 5 spacious cabins plus 5 crew in 3 cabins. An impressive 2,000nm range allows her to accomplish extensive cruising yet remain in a very manageable size range, appealing to a large demographic of buyers. For propulsion, the X96 Triplex features triple Volvo IPS 1350 (also available in triple 1,000hp traditional propulsion package), giving her a top speed of 17.5 knots and a cruise speed of 12 knots, which is where that 2,000nm range is accomplished.
90' EXTRA 2025 | X90 Fast
The EXTRA 90 Fast is the latest model in the EXTRA line of sport yachts and is designed by the famed Milan-based design studio Hot Lab. She sleeps 8 guests in 4 cabins and 4 crew in 2 cabins. The lower guest area consists of a full-beam master, an equally impressive VIP, and 2 smaller cabins. She is surprisingly spacious considering this is a 90 sport model. There is a main deck lounge and an aft-positioned galley. A private sundeck can be isolated for guests with sun pads, a lounge area, and a dining area. There is also a smaller second helm for an owner-operator or captain to enjoy the views.
