Within today’s range of premium boats, a clear development is visible. While some brands focus entirely on speed and sporty performance, others opt instead for versatility and adventure.
The Zodiac X10CC is a high-performance RIB developed from a different vision: not choosing between these worlds, but bringing them together in one powerful, well-considered design.
For those looking for a high-performance RIB like the Zodiac X10CC, suitable for speed, offshore use and luxury applications, the X10CC offers a unique solution within the segment.
Two directions in modern boat development
In the premium segment, there are broadly two clear trends.
On the one hand, there are boats that are all about performance. Lightweight constructions, high speeds and a strong focus on fun and ease of use make these boats ideal for day boating and sporty cruising.
On the other hand, there are boats built around adventure and versatility. These models are designed for longer trips, changing weather conditions and multi-purpose use. Comfort and flexibility play a bigger role here.
For many buyers, this means in practice having to choose between these two approaches.
The Zodiac X10CC combines both worlds
The Zodiac X10CC breaks through this traditional divide and brings both worlds together in one design.
With a length of 10 metres, a beam of 3.80 metres and a well-thought-out layout, this RIB offers both performance and versatility. The deep-V hull and stepped hull deliver speed, efficiency and control at higher speeds. At the same time, the wide beam and D-shaped tubes contribute to stability, safety and comfort.
This results in a boat that feels equally at home on high-speed runs as on longer offshore passages or for professional use.
Performance just as you expect from a sporty boat
For those who love speed and dynamics, the X10CC delivers exactly what you expect.
The combination of powerful engine options up to 2 × 450 hp and an optimised hull delivers instant acceleration and stable handling. The boat responds precisely to steering input and remains controllable, even at higher speeds.
This makes the X10CC exceptionally suitable for:
- Sporty cruising and high-speed transfers
- Active use on open water
- Dynamic manoeuvring
Versatility and comfort for every situation
In addition to performance, the X10CC offers a high level of flexibility.
The spacious deck layout and centre console provide clear visibility and freedom of movement on board.
This makes the boat suitable for a wide range of applications, such as use as a yacht tender or support vessel. Read more about the use of the Zodiac X10CC as a yacht tender or support vessel.

- Crew and guest transport
- Water sports activities
- Professional use as a support vessel
The combination of comfort and functionality ensures the X10CC is not only fast, but also practical for day-to-day use.
The advantage of RIB technology
An important distinguishing feature of the X10CC is the use of RIB technology, developed by Zodiac Nautic.
The inflatable tubes provide extra stability, safety and buoyancy. This results in:
- More stability at rest and during boarding
- Added safety during transfers
- Better control in rough conditions
- Efficient weight-to-performance ratio
- Higher certification for Category B
These characteristics make the X10CC particularly suitable for both recreational and professional use.
A strategic position between performance and lifestyle
Within the current boat offering, the Zodiac X10CC positions itself in a unique way.
In a market where brands such as Saxdor and Axopar each follow their own design philosophy—focused on performance and adventure respectively—the X10CC brings these qualities together on one platform.
Not as a compromise, but as a well-considered combination of both worlds.
This results in a boat suitable for a broad range of users, without sacrificing performance or functionality.
