For those who want to keep exploring new destinations and dimensions, after test driving the XO DFNDR 9 there is no turning back. This new center console multi-purpose boat has everything you need to overcome the rough seas.

The new XO DFNDR 9 has everything you need to overcome the rough seas. It is first and foremost fun to drive but works ideally in sport fishing and professional use alike.

The aft deck and bow areas can be turned into enormous sunbeds while private head and berths for two enable comfortable overnight stay. Equipped with two Mercury 225 V6 engines, the boat can reach +45 knots top speed.

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 fiberglass, the new DFNDR 9 takes you through the roughest seas to new adventures and experiences that go well beyond conventional.

To truly put our latest model to the test, we set off on a windy day and drove through the rough Baltic Sea via its most remote outer islands from Finland to Sweden. XO crew packed our gear and set the drones and cameras to cover the journey between the Nordic capitals Helsinki and Stockholm.

With an XO you can easily cross the heavy sea comfortably over 30 knots cruising speed.

Ready for a Rough Ride
