2027 XO DFNDR 9

The award-winning XO DFNDR 9 - named "Adventure Boat of the Year 2023" - has set the benchmark for serious all-weather crossover boats, and MCG Yachts is proud to bring it to Florida buyers as the State's authorized XO Boats dealer.

At 28'10" (8.8 m) overall with a 8'6" (2.6 m) beam, the DFNDR 9 marries Nordic aluminum/GRP composite construction with deep-V seakeeping that handles the unknown without flinching. Twin 225 hp outboards deliver 45+ knot performance; a 119 US gal (450 L) fuel cell delivers the range. CE Category B/C means open-ocean credentials, not just inshore comfort.

A TRUE PATHFINDER
8 passengers in patrol-boat trim, 6 in offshore configuration. A true pathfinder - engineered for explorers who don't read the weather forecast as a stop sign. Award-winning credentials, real-world build quality, and a hull that simply doesn't care about chop.

BUILT FOR FLORIDA WATERS
The DFNDR 9's deep-V was engineered for Nordic offshore conditions - which means it eats Florida chop, inlet swells, and Bahamas crossings without flinching. When others stay in port, you go.
