Villeneuve Marine has become the exclusive importer in France for X-Liner, a Ukrainian manufacturer specializing in aluminum sport fishing boats. The first models are scheduled to go on sale starting in April 2026, equipped with Suzuki outboard motors.
The first two X-Liners powered by Suzuki
The French launch will initially feature the X-Liner 460 and X-Liner 500. The former, which is 4.60 m long, will be available with a Suzuki DF50 ATL. The X-Liner 500, meanwhile, will be equipped with a DF140 BTGL Black Mat engine.
For the 5-meter models, the DF140 will be used in the Stealth lineup. This four-cylinder engine features a chain-driven timing system, an architecture with an offset crankshaft?the ?Suzuki offset??and the Lean Burn fuel injection system. It is paired with a multifunction gauge that provides access to Troll Mode for fine-tuning engine speed at low speeds, as well as Auto-Trim.
An aluminum series ranging from 4.60 m to 6.45 m
X-Liner draws on more than ten years of experience in boatbuilding. Its current lineup ranges in length from 4.60 m to 6.45 m, with models designed for both frequent use on inland waters and coastal cruising. The layout is geared toward sport fishing, with compact designs in the smaller models and more space on board as you move up the lineup.
A 4.20-meter model is also in the works. It will round out the lineup with a shorter boat, designed specifically for anglers looking for a vessel that is easy to transport and maneuver.
