In this new test, we present the latest addition to the Zodiac range, the X10CC, a 10-meter center console boat that moves away from the semi-rigid concept towards rigid hulls. This model is the result of three years of research and development, and introduces innovations in both hull and layout.

A pioneer in the world of inflatables, Zodiac quickly evolved into the semi-rigid, becoming almost synonymous with this type of craft. In 2024, the brand decided to depart from its traditional design, characterized by a low hull and bulwark-like floats. With its new model, the X10CC, Zodiac offers a boat with a rigid bulwark and D-shaped peripheral floats, a design already explored by some Italian manufacturers. Measuring 10 meters in length, this new flagship model in the range aims to meet customers' needs for comfort and safety, thanks to its polyester bulwark and deep cockpit, offering enhanced protection.

In this 4-part test, you'll discover the unit's technological innovations, its layout, its sailing performance and its price positioning in the face of eclectic competition.
