57m Project Evita new-build starts at Heesen

The advanced engineering of Project Evita guarantees an impressive top speed of 22 knots at half load, delivering a seamless blend of performance and comfort. Designed with a shallow draft, this yacht is perfectly suited for cruising the idyllic waters of the Bahamas, a rare feature for a yacht of this size and volume.

To achieve such a high top speed, the yacht must be lightweight, so we are naturally building in aluminium—something that we here at Heesen have elevated into an art form over the years,” said Peter van der Zanden, General Manager of Design and Development at Heesen Yachts. “The vertical bow guarantees a long waterline length for maximum efficiency and speed potential, while the aft end is composed of complex sweeping curves. This yacht will be unmistakable when she enters a new harbour.”

The contemporary exterior by Omega Architects evokes the elegance and power of a leaping animal. Project Evita boasts an impressive volume of 780 GT, offering ample space without compromising speed or agility.

The interior by Harrison Eidsgaard is tailored for relaxation and entertainment. Project Evita accommodates up to 12 guests in six staterooms. A central elevator connects all three decks.

A standout feature of Project Evita is the pool on the main deck aft, offering a serene space for guests to unwind while enjoying the surrounding seascape. A thoughtfully designed lazarette in the transom provides storage for an array of toys and sports gear for endless fun on the water.

Delivery is scheduled for Q2 2027.
