Built of the lightest, yet most durable material possible, the DFNDR 9 is also responsive and agile to drive


equipment efficiently, thus enabling thoroughly enjoyable time at sea. For the required accessories, plenty of rigging options are available.


READY TO TAKE ON THE ROUGH SEAS DFNDR 9 is a true pathfinder, enabling continuous exploring even in the unknown waters. Combining a deep-V shape hull that is manufactured of the best military grade aluminum in the market with aesthetic design enabled by state-of-the-art fibreglass, DFNDR 9 is an attractive choice for a superyacht chase boat, as well as for professional use. It takes you reliably to the horizon and well beyond, all the way to new adventures and experiences.


The DFNDR 9 is first and foremost fun to drive but works ideally in sport fishing and professional use alike. Enjoy the up to 50 knot speed or turn the aft deck and bow area into enormous sunbeds and just take it easy. Private head and berths for two can offer a pleasant overnight stay – meaning longer adventures and more quality time. The extensive customising opportunities complete a truly personal boat with capabilities to exceed expectations even under the most demanding sea conditions.


CALM BEFORE THE STORM While the DFNDR 9 possesses exceptional capabilities to operate even in the most challenging conditions, it has everything that makes relaxed overnight cruises more than worthwhile. While the clever design enables a wide variety of uses and extensive


customising opportunities take the multi-purpose options yet to another level, sometimes all you need for an unforgettable story is the moment itself. You do not have to ride the storm at full force every time you head out – as long as you know that you can.


When you’re in a class of your own, there are simply no limits or restrictions, just opportunities. Whatever your purpose for boating may be, the DFNDR 9 is ready to go. It fills every role as if it was built for it. Confidence comes naturally when you know that you can keep going, even in situations when most would turn back. For true trailblazers, challenges are a way of life. We want to be the first ones to get there – because that’s what adventurous boaters do.


As the global demand for chase boats with exceptional capabilities to perform in varied and demanding conditions has been on a steady rise, XO Boats and it’s team is actively expanding its international operations. During the past couple of years, the company has substantially strengthened its presence in the Mediterranean area as well as opened doors to Taiwan, Australia, Canada, and Alaska.
