XO EXPLR 9

The XO EXPLR 9 is widely regarded as one of the most capable all-weather adventure boats on the market, combining a rugged aluminium deep-V hull with a stylish and practical pilothouse design. This 2023 model, powered by a Mercury 400hp outboard, offers exceptional performance and versatility, delivering exhilarating speeds while maintaining outstanding comfort and control in a wide range of sea conditions!

This particular example is berthed in Dartmouth and presents in immaculate condition throughout. Having seen extremely light use, the engine has just 30 hours, and the boat has recently been serviced and anti-fouled in March 2026, meaning she is fully prepared and ready for the season ahead!

The EXPLR 9 is designed for those who want to enjoy boating all year round. The enclosed pilothouse provides superb protection from the elements while maintaining excellent visibility thanks to the large panoramic windows and opening roof hatch. At the helm, the XO exclusive full-suspension driver’s seat ensures a comfortable ride even at higher speeds, complemented by a twin co-driver seat allowing guests to sit alongside the skipper!

Navigation and control are centred around a Simrad NSS16 EVO3+ chartplotter with GPS, paired with a Simrad HDI echosounder and Simrad RS100B VHF with AIS, providing excellent situational awareness whether cruising the coast or planning longer passages. The boat is also equipped with a 2.0kW bow thruster and Mente Marine automatic trim tab control system, making manoeuvring and ride optimisation effortless!

Comfort and practicality are key features onboard. The cabin offers a comfortable saloon area with table, along with an electric WC with septic tank, sink and hand shower. A 42L refrigerator, freshwater pressure system with 45L tank, and 4kW air heater ensure the boat remains practical and comfortable for extended outings in all seasons!

The cockpit and foredeck areas are thoughtfully arranged for relaxing and socialising. The boat features foredeck cushions, additional aft deck seating with mattresses, removable side seats, and a rain cover for the aft seating area. High-quality Plasdeck decking has been fitted both internally and on the outer decks, giving the boat a premium finish while also providing excellent grip and durability!

Additional equipment includes an electric anchor windlass with anchor and chain, searchlight, shore power with charger, dual battery system, freshwater shower, white floor lighting, window wipers with washer, and a complete mooring kit including fenders, ropes and XO protective socks. The exterior is finished with a striking black carbon-colour hull accent and bow bumper, adding to the boat’s distinctive and purposeful look!

Combining impressive performance, high-quality Scandinavian build, and an exceptional specification, this 2023 XO EXPLR 9 represents a fantastic opportunity to acquire a nearly new example with very low hours, ready to be enjoyed immediately!

The boat is currently lying in Dartmouth and viewings are highly recommended to fully appreciate the condition and specification on offer!
