NX370HT Video Review: Big Boat Feel From a Brazilian Builder
By the YachtWay editorial deskUpdated October 2026Video walkthrough6 min read
The NX370HT is a 36 ft hardtop cruiser built in Brazil by NX Boats, made to give a big boat feel at a lower cost. We walked a brand new one at the NX facility in Fort Lauderdale, where every boat for North America is commissioned. She runs on twin Volvo D4-320 sterndrives and has an outdoor galley, an L-shaped lounge, an opening sunroof, a bow sunbed, a V-berth salon with a head and a separate guest cabin.
A lot of boat for the money
NX told us the 370 starts at around $400,000 with engines and goes up to about $625,000 with options like twin 400 V10s, diesels or stabilisers. The boat we filmed still had its stickers on. Every NX for North America lands at this Fort Lauderdale facility first, where the team checks it, fits electronics and commissions the engines with Volvo or Mercury. NX expects to deliver 70 to 80 boats in the US in 2025.
