2015 XO 270 RS
The XO 270 RS Open is a striking Scandinavian performance cruiser combining aggressive offshore capability with the versatility of a sociable open-bow layout. Built in Finland and engineered around XO’s renowned military-grade aluminium deep-V hull, the 270 RS delivers exceptional rough-water handling, impressive performance and unmistakable modern styling.
Unlike conventional GRP sportsboats, the XO features a rugged marine aluminium hull paired with a lightweight GRP deck and superstructure, creating an incredibly strong yet agile platform ideally suited to UK and Northern European conditions.

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. Rare to the market and instantly recognisable, the XO 270 RS Open offers a unique alternative to conventional sports cruisers.
