**SeaRock Boats: Here are the First Indestructible Italian Boats Thanks to HDPE**

SeaRock Boats made from HDPE are virtually indestructible, unsinkable, totally recyclable, flame-resistant, and, most importantly, maintenance-free. They are highly resistant to collision or grounding due to the extremely robust and elastic material.

SeaRock Boats srl is the first Italian company specialized in the design and production of motorboats made from HDPE (high-density polyethylene).

SeaRock Boats made from HDPE are virtually indestructible, unsinkable, totally recyclable, flame-resistant, and, most importantly, maintenance-free. They are highly resistant to collision or grounding due to the extremely robust and elastic material.

The additional advantage of HDPE boats is that this material is resellable and recyclable, fitting into a future environmental sustainability project. Moreover, it does not require antifouling, which causes sea pollution and is harmful to humans.

The first model from the shipyard, the SeaRock XR7 (7 meters), is nearing completion and will be available from June 2023. Built entirely by hand with HDPE sheets and equipped with engines ranging from 200 to 300 hp, it will deliver exceptional performance.

The XR7 is fully customizable and can be used for leisure, professional purposes, military, SAR, and even as a tender for exploration superyachts. The boat is capable of navigating rocky coasts, ice, and coral reefs in all seas worldwide without sustaining any damage in case of collision.

Boaters will have no fear of approaching the coast, even where fiberglass boats or inflatables cannot reach, especially in rough seas and extreme conditions. The SeaRock XR7 can hit a rock or an iceberg without sustaining any damage other than superficial scratches that do not affect the boat's structure and solidity in any way.

Additionally, SeaRock boats feature integrated buoyancy reserves in the hull to ensure maximum safety even in the event of a severe impact or capsizing. The XR7 will be able to tackle the most prohibitive sea and weather conditions thanks to the deep V-hull and the unparalleled performance of the material, which significantly reduces wave impacts.

Users can count on a boat with unprecedented characteristics in both leisure and professional boating. They will have the certainty of being able to use the boat in any condition and any place in the world, with maximum safety and for many years, without any maintenance.
