Plymouth Boat Fest 2026 will bring marine technology, leisure boating and live demonstrations to Mount Batten this June.
High-end, aluminium Scandinavian boat builder, XO Boats, have just signed MCC Marine of Southampton as their brand new representatives here in the U.K. ‘It’s a very exciting prospect for us here at MCC”, stated company director, Craig McCarthy, in discussion with PBR. “We believe that the XO Crossover range will sit perfectly alongside our other premium brands and allow us to offer not only another world-class model range to our ever-growing client base, but in conjunction with that, the bespoke customer care that goes hand in hand with a brand such XO”.
Meanwhile, MCC have confirmed that their XO stock orders have already been placed and that the first of these craft should be on display at their MDL Hamble Point facility within the next few weeks.
