Commuter, superyacht tender, or weekend explorer, the XO DFNDR 8 refuses to be boxed in.
Forged from military grade aluminium and fitted with a fiberglass superstructure, it's aggressive yet refined. The 23 degree deep-V slices through confused seas with the solidity of far larger craft, yet the hull tips the scales at barely 2 tonnes. Pair that with a single Mercury V8 300 hp, and you have effortless acceleration and 36 knots on tap.
At the helm, shock mitigating seats, hydraulic power steering and Lenco trim tabs keep the drive civilised, while Simrad navigation and sounding ensures fingertip situational awareness. A 2kW bow thruster makes single handed docking feel almost unfair, and Fusion stereo fills the cabin with your favourite tracks.
The cabin is a weather tight cocoon for eight passengers and offers the convenience of an enclosed head and a drawer fridge for comfortable day trips.
Step forward and the bow reveals the DFNDR signature retractable anchoring system, that slips out of harm's way for silky beach landings, then reemerges to "drop the pick" in your favourite anchorage. Flip the cushions and that foredeck becomes an inviting sun pad --proof that rugged can still feel refined.
Whether you crave dawn surf runs, Sunday adventures with the family, or limousine tender duties for a mothership, the XO DFNDR 8 delivers exceptional versatility with no excuses.
