2023 XO Boats DFNDR 9, 1.832.000 NOK

Factory new XO DFNDR 9 // 2027 Mercury V 400 V10

This is an uncompromising crossover built for Norwegian and Nordic conditions – perfect for boaters who want full control, true driving pleasure, and safety, whether the sea is calm or rough.

The first thing you notice when leaving the dock is the feeling of solid quality. The aluminum hull rests heavy and stable in the water, and the pronounced V-hull slices precisely through the waves – not over them. The result is a calm, predictable, and extremely safe ride, even at high speeds.

With a 23-degree aluminum V-hull, this delivers immense seaworthiness, driving excitement, and robustness of the highest degree.

The helm station is in a league of its own. Here you sit well-protected, ergonomically correct, and with a perfect overview, whether you're driving alone or with passengers. This is a boat that invites you to drive – not just be transported.

At the same time, the DFNDR 9 is much more than raw performance:

• Spacious cockpit with flexible seating
• Smart solutions that work in practice
• Comfortable cabin with overnight accommodation
• Separate head/toilet room making weekend trips a reality – not just theoretical

This is the boat for you who:

• Want to use your boat often
• Want to feel safe in all weather conditions
• Value quality and functionality
• Want a boat that stands out clearly – both at sea and in the harbor

XO DFNDR 9 has everything you need to overcome the rough seas. It is first and foremost fun to drive, but works ideally for transport, sport fishing, and professional use alike.

The aft deck and bow areas can be converted into expansive sunbeds, and a separate head with berths for 2 people enables comfortable overnight stays.

XO DFNDR 9 combines a deep-V hull manufactured with the best industrial grade quality on the market. Here you get aesthetic design, state-of-the-art fiberglass, and genuine quality and driving pleasure.

With an XO, you can easily cross heavy seas safely and comfortably at a cruising speed well over 30 knots.

• Aluminum hull material (military grade) combined with a fiberglass innerliner/deck.
• Robustness. Withstands rough handling, ice, rocks, and impact against docks without worry.
• Driving dynamics. Heavy, stable, and crushing in head seas. Slices through waves like a naval craft with zero slamming.
• Comfort and noise levels. The hull is foam-filled for sound insulation.
• Maintenance. Extremely low. Requires minimal cosmetic care on the exterior hull.
• Cabin. Compact sleeping cabin for two in the bow and a separate, private head/toilet compartment.
