Exciting news from the Ballistic team! Our Ballistic XP80 has been shortlisted in the Adventure Boats category at the 2024 Motor Boat Awards. These awards are the pinnacle of recognition in the boating world, akin to the Oscars for boats and yachts.
The Prestige of the Motor Boat Awards
The Motor Boat Awards are highly esteemed in our industry, celebrating the crème de la crème of boating excellence. To be nominated, boats undergo extensive sea trials and thorough evaluations. Being a finalist is not just an honour; it’s a testament to our commitment to quality and innovation.
The Birth of 'The Adventurer'
The journey of the XP80 is one of passion. Born as a lockdown project, we set out to design something remarkably unique, with adventure at its core. In the back garden, wooden models were crafted and revised, each iteration bringing us closer to our vision. Affectionately known as ‘The Adventurer’ by those who knew her, the XP80 was a labour of love, embodying our dedication to creating an exceptional adventure vessel. Launched to the market in March 2023, the XP80’s recognition in this category is not just an achievement; it’s a dream realised.

Innovative Accommodation: The XP80 also boasts pop-up accommodation for two, perfect for those who dream of sleeping under the stars or waking up right in the heart of adventure.
Structured T-Top Roof: The structured T-top roof isn’t just about protection from the elements; it’s ingeniously designed for stowing toys or even for those brave enough to jump into the big blue!
Versatile Performance: Whether you’re embarking on a leisurely cruise or seeking the thrill of high-speed adventures, the XP80 adapts seamlessly. Its advanced hull design ensures stability and agility, making every journey an absolute delight.
