NEW XO Boats DFNDR 9

She's a Mini Explorer Yacht

XO BOATS DFNDR 9

NEW WALKTHROUGH VIDEO. The 28'11" (8.8 m) DFNDR 9 is new to the U.S. Like other XO models, she has a heavy gauge marine aluminum hull and GRP interior and deck. She's designed as a dayboat/weekender for two — but we can see her doing much more for adventurous boaters. The forward cabin has access from the helm and the bow.

TEST VIDEO. The 246 Cayman is right-sized to be a dayboat for two couples or a family of four. She can also function as a serious bay boat fishing platform, seaworthy enough to go outside the inlet on pleasant days.
