Aluminum is not always used as 100% pure material and thanks to its versatility other metals can be added to it for the purpose of fortifying some of its natural qualities – such as its sturdiness and waterproofness. As an alloy, aluminum offers a similar performance level as advanced steels and titanium. Aluminum is also a very common material found across the planet, ensuring its durability. All of these qualities are what make aluminum the ideal material used in boating production – also in terms of sustainability: at the end of their exceptionally long life, aluminum boats can be fully recycled with very low energy costs. We at XO have known about the positive qualities of aluminum for many years and believe ourselves to be industry leaders, as the use of aluminum as a production material has just recently started to be accepted as a solution for the future in many other industries. Forerunner in sustainability When the others are looking towards the horizon, XO is already there. We come from the northern, rugged and beautiful archipelago of Finland. These wild and endangered surroundings of the Baltic Sea have inspired our design and our philosophy: to create beautiful boats that can last a lifetime. We care about the preservation of nature, which is why utilizing sustainable materials and finding new solutions to make the boating industry more environmentally friendly matters to us. The value of XO boats is not just in their outer appearance, but their versatility and value.
