The yacht’s striking profile, with its sharp angles and sweeping curves, is both elegant and powerful, echoing the agility of a leaping animal. Designed with a shallow draft, it is perfectly suited for cruising destinations like the Bahamas, a rare feat for a yacht of this size and impressive 780 GT volume.
Delivering a top speed of 22 knots at half load, Project Evita combines Heesen’s renowned aluminium craftsmanship with advanced engineering for unparalleled performance.
Peter van der Zanden, General Manager of Design and Development at Heesen, highlights this expertise, stating, “To achieve such a high top speed, the yacht must be lightweight, so we are naturally building in aluminium – something we at Heesen have elevated into an art form over the years.”
The interior, meticulously crafted by Harrison Eidsgaard, is designed to accommodate 12 guests in six luxurious staterooms, ensuring the perfect balance of comfort and sophistication.
A central elevator seamlessly connects all three decks, while the thoughtfully designed spaces cater to both relaxation and entertainment. Key features include a serene aft-deck pool for unwinding with ocean views and a spacious lazarette in the transom, ideal for storing a variety of water toys.
Scheduled for delivery in Q2 2027, Project Evita represents Heesen’s commitment to innovation, craftsmanship, and elegance. With its cutting-edge design, unmatched performance, and luxurious amenities, this masterpiece promises to set a new benchmark in superyacht excellence for discerning owners.
