About Saroca
| The Saroca is an affordable, exciting boat that
performs many functions as well as most of its single-use competitors.
Whether sailing, rowing, canoeing, fishing or hunting, the
Saroca offers outstanding performance and quality. |
 |
Saroca was conceived and
designed to fulfill the diverse requirements of a high performance,
multi-use boat. Most often, attempts to provide the versatility
required in the multi-use boat have relied on adapting a single-use
design with inefficient, afterthought extras.
The Saroca design
philosophy recognizes the many different interests of consumers in
recreational boating as well as the financial and practical limitations
of owning too many boats. Before Saroca, outdoors people often had
to decide on which single-use boat to purchase. With the Saroca,
the choice on which boat to purchase is made easier.
The most startling thing
about the Saroca is not that it does so many things, but that it
does so many things well.
History
The original
designer of Saroca was awarded a US patent in 1983, and a registered
trademark on the hull’s distinctive shape. The original Saroca company
produced about 500 Fiberglass boats in Portland ME in 1984. An original
Saroca is still in demand and continues to maintain a high resale value.
An investment group
purchased the company in 1992, and a decision was taken to manufacture
the Saroca using thermoplastic materials and production line assembly
techniques. The second generation Saroca led the small boat industry
into the next decade of technical innovation through the structural use
of thermoformed plastic for the construction of watercraft.
In 2001, the assets
of Saroca Inc. were sold to Saroca Boats of Florida, LLC.
The new company moved production and headquarters to DeLand, Florida.
