This aluminium motor boat is designed for both Arctic and tropical conditions, so you won’t have to miss out on a single adventure.
The XO DFNDR 8 is available in two different versions, the open version of which can be converted into a boat with a more enclosed cabin by opting for the fixed side windows and fixed rear bulkhead as extras.
Thanks to the various options for partially customising the boat to suit your specific needs, the XO DFNDR 8 can be configured for sport fishing, day trips or as a tender for a superyacht.
With its twin engines, the manoeuvrable XO DFNDR 8 can reach speeds of over 50 knots. Although the boat is smaller than other recent XO models, it still retains the uncompromising character and robustness of a true XO.
