Unveiling Rock X: Vripack’s Newest Pocket Explorer Yacht in the Series
Evadne Yachts has unveiled a first look at Rock X, the latest addition to its Rock 85 series, following its recent delivery. This yacht is set to make a splash at the upcoming Cannes Yachting Festival, showcasing Evadne’s innovative design and engineering capabilities in the motor yacht sector.
The Rock 85 series marks a significant milestone for Evadne Yachts, as it represents the company's inaugural venture into motor yachts after years of specializing in sailing vessels. The first unit of the series, simply named Rock, was delivered in 2018, establishing a foundation for the subsequent models.
Rock X measures 27.3 metres in length and features a beam of 6.5 metres, giving it a robust and commanding presence on the water. The yacht's design is marked by angular, masculine lines and striking geometric glazing, a collaboration with the renowned Dutch design studio Vripack. Project management has been entrusted to Tufan and Brothers, ensuring meticulous attention to detail throughout the build.
The yacht offers luxurious accommodation across four cabins, including an en suite owner's cabin strategically located on the main deck, complete with a private balcony that extends towards the bow. Guest quarters are thoughtfully arranged on the lower deck, alongside dedicated crew accommodation for up to four members, enhancing the overall service and experience onboard. The main saloon is designed for comfort and elegance, featuring spacious sofa seating, a separate dining area, and direct access to an al fresco seating space at the rear of the yacht.
Performance-wise, Rock X is powered by twin CAT engines, enabling it to achieve a maximum speed of 15.5 knots. The yacht boasts an impressive range of 2,000 nautical miles when cruising at nine knots, making it well-suited for extended journeys across the seas. With a draft of 1.8 metres, Rock X is designed to navigate various marine environments with ease.
As Evadne Yachts continues to innovate in the luxury yacht sector, the introduction of Rock X underscores the company's commitment to combining cutting-edge design with high performance, catering to discerning yacht owners looking for both style and substance. The anticipation surrounding its debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival is a testament to the growing interest in the Rock 85 series and the potential it holds for future developments in motor yacht design.
