The Finnish boating company XO Boats Ltd. has launched its newest product, the DFNDR 9.  

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.

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 a private head and berths for two assure comfortable overnight stays.

Equipped with two Mercury 225 V6 engines, the boat can reach a top speed of 50 knots.

The super-strong XO military-grade aluminium structure and deep-V hull make DFNDR 9 an attractive choice for a superyacht chase boat, or for professional use.

XO Boats has strengthened its presence in the Mediterranean region, as well as Taiwan, Australia, Canada and Alaska.
