Zodiac X9CC - 8.60-metre premium centre console RIB
The Zodiac X9CC is a premium 8.60-metre centre console RIB for those who want to combine sporty performance, luxury finish and practical usability in one high-quality boat. This model has been developed for demanding watersports enthusiasts, yacht owners and professional users looking for comfort, speed, stability and presence on the water.
With its wide hull, twin stepped hull, generous layout and high-quality finish, the Zodiac X9CC is a strong choice for customers considering luxury dayboats, sporty centre console boats, premium chase boats or exclusive tenders. The X9CC offers the look and comfort of a high-end dayboat, combined with the stability, safety and buoyancy of a true Zodiac RIB.
Thanks to the spacious console/cabin, comfortable seating, large bow area, extended swim platforms and extensive personalisation options, the X9CC is suitable for relaxed day trips, sporty cruising, watersports, coastal cruising and use as a luxury tender for larger yachts.
Construction and hull design
The Zodiac X9CC is built with a GRP deep-V hull with a non-slip self-draining deck and a twin stepped hull. This hull design is developed for efficient performance, stable handling and a sporty boating experience. The combination of the deep-V hull, generous beam and well-considered weight distribution provides confidence, comfort and control underway.
The tubes are made of Hypalon Neoprene or optionally Carbon Hypalon Neoprene. This high-quality material is known for its strong properties, long service life and high resistance to sun, salt water and intensive use. The wide rubbing strake around the tubes provides extra protection during docking, manoeuvring and everyday use.
With 7 air chambers, a D-shaped tube and a beam of 3.32 metres, the X9CC offers excellent stability and a safe feeling on board. This makes the boat particularly suitable for users looking for the performance of a sporty boat, while also valuing comfort, safety and practical usability.
Layout and onboard comfort
The Zodiac X9CC offers a spacious and smart layout for up to 15 people in category C and 8 people in category B. On board, considerable attention has been paid to comfort, freedom of movement and ease of use. The luxury “Diamond” stitched upholstery, practical storage spaces and high-quality finish give the boat a premium look.
At the front is a spacious bow area with bow rails, navigation lighting and sunpad cushions for the bow locker. This area is ideal for relaxing, sunbathing or riding comfortably during a day on the water.
The console/cabin is equipped with a windscreen, wiper, cup holders, storage spaces and a comfortable forward-facing seat. This means the X9CC not only offers sporty handling, but also extra comfort and shelter on longer trips.
Behind the console there is a bolster seat for 2 people with armrests, cup holders and a backrest with 2 positions. At the stern there is a fold-down bench seat. The extended swim platforms with access gates and a telescopic swim ladder ensure comfortable use from the water, for example when swimming, doing watersports or when used as a tender.
Premium alternative to luxury dayboats and sporty centre console boats
The Zodiac X9CC appeals to the same target group as modern premium dayboats, sporty centre console boats and luxury chase boats. Think of watersports enthusiasts looking for a fast, stylish and comfortable boat for day trips, coastal cruising, watersports or use alongside a larger yacht.
The difference lies in the RIB concept. The X9CC combines a sporty hull with large Hypalon Neoprene tubes. This gives you added stability, plenty of buoyancy, a reassuring feeling at higher speeds and a practical step all around the boat. That makes the X9CC particularly interesting for customers who want the look of a premium dayboat, but also want the functional benefits of a high-quality RIB.
For those looking at boats in the higher segment, such as sporty centre console models, luxury tenders or chase boats, the Zodiac X9CC offers a distinctive combination of design, comfort, performance and ease of use. Also view the other models within the Zodiac XCC series.
Performance and engine options
The Zodiac X9CC is suitable for a maximum engine rating of 2 × 250 hp. Zodiac recommends 2 × 225 hp, giving the boat a powerful, well-balanced and sporty boating experience.
The integrated 620-litre fuel tank makes the X9CC suitable for longer trips and intensive use. Combined with the twin stepped hull, deep-V hull and generous beam, this model offers an excellent balance between acceleration, stability, efficiency and comfort.
Whether you use the boat for sporty day trips, watersports, coastal cruising or as a luxury chase boat, the X9CC delivers the performance and control you can expect from a premium Zodiac RIB.
