XO Boats is very excited to announce that our XO DFNDR 8 has entered the final stage of the Best of Boats Award and has stood out in the Best for Performance category.
These nominated boats have all passed rigorous testing by a jury consisting of international yacht experts and journalists, and the ultimate winners will be announced at the 2023 Berlin Boat Show.
The DFNDR 8 is a smaller version of our award-winning XO DFNDR 9. It is equipped with twin engines, allowing you to fly over the water at speeds exceeding 50 knots. Although this boat is slightly smaller than our other XO models, it still possesses the hallmark XO durability and versatility.
It perfectly blends the joy of boating with stunning speed, and combined with XO's unique superior driving performance, it makes this model a standout in its category.
We are incredibly honored by this recognition for the BOB Award!
