Zodiac X9CC
The latest RIB from the French shipyard known for special-purpose motorboats expands the formula: excellent seakeeping, a comfortable weekend cruiser, and suitable for deep-sea fishing.
From the jury’s statement:
A ‘Best RIBs’ boat needs a stable, seaworthy hull with resilient tubes for confident handling in any conditions, plus the versatility to serve as tender, sports boat and day cruiser and the Zodiac X9CC, from a shipyard built on special-purpose motorboats, is engineered for exactly that expanded role. Its hull delivers excellent seakeeping suitable even for the most demanding conditions, while still working as a comfortable daily cruiser for weekend trips and a capable platform for deep-sea fishing. Ample space in the open-top cockpits and a single cabin with separate toilet extend that versatility to overnight use.
