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.

The verdict

The NX370HT packs a lot into 36 ft. The outdoor galley, the L-shaped lounge with AC and the opening hardtop make long days easy, and the joystick and raising footrest help at the helm. Below, a V-berth salon, a guest cabin and a head with a bench make weekends practical. With pricing from about $400,000 and a busy US base to commission and support the boats, she is a strong value pick.
