2027 XO DFNDR 9

The XO DFNDR 9 is a 28'10" aluminum and GRP composite pilothouse boat built for serious all-weather cruising. Its deep-V hull carries a CE Category B/C rating, offering open-ocean capability alongside the shallow 3'3" draft needed for inshore exploration. A single Mercury 225 hp engine delivers 45-knot top speed and 30-knot cruise, drawing from a 119-gallon fuel tank. The design accommodates up to eight passengers in patrol configuration or six in offshore setup, making it equally at home on day runs or extended trips.

The hull combines Nordic engineering with seakeeping performance designed to handle variable conditions without compromise. Weighing 5,975 pounds dry, the boat carries enough capability for Florida waters, inlet crossings, and Bahamas passages. Beam of 8'6" provides stability and working room on deck.
