T
he Finnish boating company XO Boats Ltd. has launched the newest achievement of its ambitious product development. The new DFNDR 9 follows the known principles of XO boats, yet taking substantial leaps forward in issues such as versatility and seaworthiness.
While the unique design concept makes DFNDR 9 an excellenct choice for adventures and watersports alike, it has everything you need to overcome the rough seas at full speed.
While XO boats have always been known for their pursuit to challenge the status quo and to discover new dimensions when it comes to issues such as versatility, adventures, and ability to drive even under the most demanding conditions, the DFNDR 9 takes all this – and then some – to yet another level.
The DFNDR 9 is the first centre console XO boat for overnight use, which, along with extensive customising opportunities, makes it an exceptional multipurpose boat. While the open cabin structure enables enjoying the warm winds, optional walls provide shelter from harsh weather. The clever design allows a wide variety of uses, from water skiing and sport fishing to day cruising and challenging adventures. The aft deck and bow areas convert into enormous sunbeds while private head and berths for two enable a comfortable overnight stay. Equipped with two Mercury 225 V6 engines, the boat can reach a cruising speed of up to 50 knots.
The super strong XO military grade aluminum structure and deep-V hull design – another trademarks in XO design – make DFNDR 9 an attractive choice for a superyacht chase boat, as well as for professional use. The boat’s exceptional capabilities to operate even under the most demanding conditions have already raised interest around the world.
REDEFINING VERSATILITY The DFNDR 9’s suitability to a wide variety of purposes outright dazzles even the most demanding boaters. No surprise it has made its way to professional use and to a chase boat for luxury yachts alike – perfect drivability meets sheer strength as the robust, safe hull structure is smoothly aligned with stylish design and smart details. You don’t even have to be an extremely experienced boater to feel confident at the helm – the DFNDR 9 co-operates very well and quite often saves the driver from several hair-rising situations. It requires a minimum amount of maintenance and survives even a bit abrupt head-first landings onto a sandy beach.
Built of the lightest, yet most durable material possible, the DFNDR 9 is also responsive and agile to drive. The light aluminum superstructure is extremely rigid – helping make the boat ideal for commuting, fishing, diving, wakeboarding, and any kind of other activities and adventures. Ample storage space hides all
