The ergonomic helm position provides excellent visibility and protection, while the sociable cockpit layout allows comfortable seating for family and guests. Below deck, the surprisingly spacious forward cabin provides overnight accommodation together with practical storage and separate heads compartment, giving genuine weekend capability within a highly manageable 28ft package. Powered by a Volvo Penta diesel inboard engine, the XO combines exhilarating performance with excellent efficiency and offshore pedigree.
