HOC 33Explorer

For sale is my second-hand, innovative HOC 33p Explorer, built in 2016, in excellent technical and visual condition. This Swedish yacht is now being produced by the Danish sailing yacht brand X-Yachts as the X-Power 33 in an open cruiser version.

A key innovation of the HOC is the Petestep hull, which features special deflectors that rise from the keel to the chines. This design reduces friction and spray, resulting in exceptional fuel efficiency. At a cruising speed of 27 knots, it consumes only 1.4 liters of diesel per nautical mile, which equates to just 77 liters per 100 km. Furthermore, the Petestep hull design ensures a very quiet ride and provides excellent comfort when sailing through waves.

All services on the yacht, such as annual engine service and antifouling, and biennial Z-drive service, were performed by professional shipyards certified for Volvo Penta (Boote Polch in Traben-Trarbach, Hugo Hener Bootsmotoren Service GmbH in Mainz). The last service was carried out in January 2026. This included sanding and repainting the antifouling, engine service, replacement of all engine V-belts and tensioners, and an overhaul of the bow thruster. The service battery and starter battery were replaced in 2024. The complete service history is documented and verifiable via the invoices.

The HOC 33p Explorer offers pure driving pleasure: its top speed is 40 knots. Its versatility is vast: the boat is ideal as a commuter or all-weather yacht, and thanks to the saloon table that converts into a berth, it's not only perfect for extended holidays for two, but also as a weekender for families.

I have owned the HOC 33 since June 2021. Since then, with one exception, the yacht has only been used in freshwater on the Rhine and Moselle rivers. In the summer of 2025, I had the yacht transported to the Mediterranean by Glogau Yachttransporte and explored the bays of Mallorca. The photos were taken during this trip. Since mid-August 2025, the boat has been back on the Rhine. Zinc anodes are therefore also availlable. I'm selling the boat because I'm planning to buy a bluewater sailing yacht.

“HIDEAWAY” is ready for the 2026 season and is available for a test drive in Göteborg, Sweden.
