Evo Yachts has selected the Cannes Yachting Festival for the world debut of the Evo R4+. This new 13-meter yacht builds upon the success of the Evo R+, retaining its enclosed deck while adding two significant features that demonstrate the brand’s commitment to ultimate transformability: a beautifully designed aluminum hardtop and a custom multifunctional stern platform.
Also being showcased alongside the new model will be the second unit of the Evo R+, with the first unit having been presented at last year’s French boat show.
Evo Yachts returns to Cannes, and after the previous year’s success of the Evo R+, they are launching a model that features the same enclosed deck solution, offering an extremely comfortable on-board lifestyle in any weather condition, along with various innovations that enhance transformability.
World Premiere of Evo R4+
The Evo R4+, making her world premiere at Cannes and designed by the brand owned by the Mercuri brothers in collaboration with designer and naval engineer Valerio Rivellini, combines highly livable exteriors with the comfort of a cabin cruiser.
The goal of this new project, with its striking design and high-level amenities, is to provide the possibility of cruising in complete comfort across different seasons and geographical areas, configuring various on-board spaces in unique ways to meet specific needs. This is made possible through ingenious modular solutions, such as the partially removable aluminum hardtop and the aft deck with a custom multifunctional platform, which adds an extra meter of length and allows the boat to be used in versatile ways.
Cruising on the R4+ thus combines the advantages of multiple vessel types – walkarounds and cabin cruisers – allowing the boat to be utilized year-round. Moreover, the beach area is equipped with the brand’s signature “XTension” bulwarks that have garnered international acclaim for this range.
Premium Interiors
The premium interiors below deck are spacious and comfortable, maintaining a focus on transformability. The propulsion is provided by two 535 HP Volvo Penta IPS 650 engines, achieving a top speed of 34 knots and a range of approximately 300 nautical miles.
Evo R+ Extended Stay Onboard
Alongside this new model, the second Evo R+ unit will also be displayed, an 18-meter yacht designed for extended stays on board featuring a minimalist, sporty, and dynamic style, along with an enclosed main deck and high-ceilinged interiors to ensure maximum comfort.
The striking black aluminum top enhances the appeal of a profile reminiscent of sports car design, and the elegantly shaped helm station is surrounded by windows. The main deck is completed with a lounge area, a fully equipped galley, and a dining table. Below deck, the lines are clean, simple, and angular.
This second unit introduces two features that enhance living space: the addition of the brand’s signature “XTension” bulwarks and the multifunctional aft deck. The propulsion system consists of a pair of Volvo Penta IPS 950 engines, aiming for a planned top speed of about 33 knots and a cruising speed of 27 knots.
