2026 Zodiac X9CC

The 2026 Zodiac X9 CC is a 28-foot rigid inflatable built on a fiberglass hull with twin Mercury V8 engines producing 500 horsepower. It reaches speeds up to 50 mph and cruises at 35 mph. Designed as a versatile platform suitable for everything from shallow-water exploration to open-ocean runs, the X9 CC combines performance with practical design.

The layout prioritizes both seating and comfort. The cockpit features a convertible dinette and split helm seating with flip-up bolsters. The expansive bow accommodates forward-facing seating with removable backrests and a table. The standout feature is a full cabin with stand-up headroom, a head with toilet and black water tank, sink, cabinet, mirror, and towel dryer, plus a bed and cabin lighting.

Extensive options are available to customize the boat to individual needs. Engine choices range from twin Mercury 200s through 250s, or Yamaha alternatives. Tube colors, upholstery schemes, and a hard-top with windshield are configurable. Additional features include a bow thruster, towing system, ski mast, sunshades, EVA or Flexiteek deck flooring, a cockpit bar fridge and sink, and a full suite of navigation and entertainment electronics.
