Rock XWide – Press Release
20 October 2023
WHY GO LONGER WHEN YOU CAN GO WIDER?
When the Rock 85 launched from the drawing boards of Dutch design studio Vripack in 2018, it boasted a voluminous open plan layout with 20 per cent more internal volume than any other 26m boat on the market. Five years on, and the new iteration – Rock XWide (meaning extra width) – has reinvigorated the design yet again, now with 35 per cent more interior space and 25 per cent more exterior space than the original ground-breaking design.
Bart M. Bouwhuis, Co-Creative Director: “Rock XW has an impressive 8.5m beam, but we not only made the design wider, but also developed a refined interior layout.”
