XO DFNDR A8

Enquire

Launched at the Cannes Yachting Show 2023, the XO DFNDR A8 marks a new milestone in XO’s product development by being the first full aluminium XO.

The A8’s durability and robustness fuses seamlessly with Italian-inspired design and lightness, resulting in an exceptionally capable and functional vessel with eye catching style.

The A8 is available with a plethora of customisable options and is also available in a special edition, for those looking for luxury, and also a fishing package.

It offers a wide range of engine options, including but not limited to, a Mercury 400hp V10, twin Merc 225’s, and also a diesel option with the COX 300. This is paired with an exceptional performing deep V aluminium hull, an ergonomic helm position, and suspension seats. You will feel the difference when you drive this boat, it’s pure driving pleasure. And with the twin 225’s bolted on the transom, you can expect speeds in excess of 50 knots.

The A8 is fast, it’s fun, and is suited to those looking for functionality as a priority. If you’re heading off to fish or dive a remote island, then this boat is for you.
