EVO 43 The Evo 43 is the first model of the new Evo Yachts brand.
The vessel’s design is based on a project undertaken by Studio Tecnico Rivellini, with exterior and interior design by Valerio Rivellini. The Evo 43 is a fast, 43-foot day cruiser that looks sculpted and muscular, yet shows nothing but sleek, minimalist lines.
The functional design of the boat features a straight bow and high topsides that flow harmoniously towards the stern. The cleats and fenders disappear, leaving clean lines that fully comply with all onboard safety requirements. The straight-lined superstructure incorporates a wedge-shaped tempered glass windshield.
The minimalist helm station features a curved dashboard in light wood with a joystick for controlling the twin Volvo IPS 600 engines, rudder wheel, and all the electronics that control and run the boat.
The cockpit can be shaded with a large awning supported by four carbon fiber poles, with an optional awning that slides from a carbon tower, or by a carbon T-top.
The stern features the boat’s principal innovation. At the touch of a digital control, the deck area changes completely. The bulwarks open in less than 30 seconds, increasing the usable space by 40 percent and thus transforming the cockpit into a nearly 270 square-foot terrace that can be used as a lounge, sitting room, sun deck with built-in deck chairs, or diving platform.
Guests on board can make use of this technically complex innovation by simply touching a screen. Also from the dock there is the wow factor: at the mere touch of an iPhone, the boat transforms. This transformation is a way of achieving the comfort and space of much bigger boats (20’7” is the beam of vessels measuring twice the length of the Evo 43).
Even the most demanding owners can get an ultimate distinctive feature: the large aft platform?built into the deck area?can be mechanically extended and rotated on its longitudinal axis by almost 270°, providing total flexibility. This modular platform can be used to support boarding or disembarking the boat at the dock, as a ladder for stepping back on board after a swim, or even as a diving platform with adjustable height.
Below deck, every detail is once again designed to ensure form and function. Materials such as teak, glass, leather, and exclusive fabrics provide an atmosphere of simple, yet refined contemporary luxury.
A lockable door opens onto a tempered glass companionway featuring large, lighted steps. This leads to a double cabin on the port side, with its own entrance door, storage area, and wardrobe closet. The head is at starboard and features a full height shower and sink finished in wood and ceramic.
Straight ahead there’s a v- shaped dinette with foldaway table that makes space for another double bed and a 42-inch TV set integrated in a mirror. Surprisingly roomy for just a 43-foot vessel, the Evo 43 has four beds and separate bathroom with shower and looks very spacious thanks to an ergonomic layout and compact Volvo IPS engines.
The boat is built of resin-infused fiberglass that allows accurate control of thickness and weight, yielding a 20 percent gain in displacement compared to boats of the same type and length and powered with the same engines. To power the vessel, two Volvo Penta IPS 600 engines (for a total of 870 hp) provide superior performance, reliability, soundproofing, ease of use, and moderate fuel consumption. During all the automatic movements (hangar, hydraulic cockpit bulwarks, bow tilting platform), warning alarms are built-in to further enhance safety aboard.
The hull, sporting an 18° deadrise, makes the new Evo 43 an efficient boat, with a maximum speed of 38 knots, cruising speed of 30 knots, and a range of 300 nautical miles.
