Dutch design studio Vripack has introduced the Rock XWide, an updated version of the Rock 85, boasting a wider beam and significantly more space than the original design.
When the Rock 85 launched from the studio’s drawing boards in 2018, it boasted a voluminous open plan layout that Vripakc claimed to offer 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 design.
“Rock XWide has an impressive 8.5m beam,” says Vripack co-creative director, Bart Bouwhuis. “We not only made the design wider but also developed a refined interior layout. We went ‘boom’ on the reinvention, and the results are incredible.”
