Building on the success of the X10CC launched in 2024, Zodiac expands its range with the X9CC, an 8.6-meter RIB that carries forward the design DNA of the X10CC in a more compact, accessible, and versatile format.
"With the X10CC, we opened up a new segment. The X9CC continues along that path, meeting the expectations of boaters looking for a maneuverable, innovative, and refined craft."
Its rigid hull ensures precise handling and outstanding performance, while its inflatable tubes provide stability, safety, and capacity for up to 15 passengers.
The X9CC combines the best of both rigid and inflatable worlds, featuring smooth center-console circulation, high protective freeboards, and two spacious relaxation areas at the bow and stern. Its modular cabin includes a berth, toilet area, and storage space offering all the comfort needed for extended adventures at sea.
With a length of 8.60 m, a beam of 3.32 m, and a weight of 2,350 kg, this boat stands out thanks to its innovative stepped hull, designed to push the limits of navigation.
The result: exceptional performance, optimized fuel efficiency, and unmatched stability and comfort at sea. Capable of being powered by up to 2 × 250 hp engines, it can reach 50 knots, and its 620-liter fuel tank ensures ideal range for long maritime adventures.
Equipped as standard (electric anchor winch, sunbathing areas, console with bolster, USB ports, rear platforms, deck shower, functional cabin), the X9CC can be customized with various NEO tubes and a range of upholstery options, allowing owners to create a unique boat that reflects Zodiac's sporty-chic spirit.
