first revealed alongside the designs for the ‘WA’ in july 2017, the EVO ‘43 HT’ yacht premiers in time for the winter sun, as well as those planning for an extravagant 2018 summer. the 13 meter long vessel, defined by sculpted, muscular yet sleek minimalist body lines, combines its style with power and luxurious comfort. with a simple request from a smartphone, its unique ‘Xtension’ feature opens in less than 30 seconds, increasing its space by 40% and creating a 25 sqm beach area. the terrace is then customizable with easily movable pouf seats, built-in deck chairs, a retractable table and transformable sunbeds. as well, it includes a large aft platform ‘transformer’ supporting boarding and use as a swim ladder, diving platform and jet ski lift.

designed by valerio rivellini of studio rivellini, the EVO ‘43 HT’ yacht flaunts a straight bow and high topsides that flow harmoniously towards the stern. at the foremost sits the anchor, which extends and folds away in a hydraulically operated locker. underneath either a vela, T-top or bimini awning, the cockpit features an 8mm wedge-shaped tempered glass windshield on top of its curved dashboard in wood or carbon. otherwise, the area is decked in teak, much like the cabins of the interior. here, the wood is displaced with glass and leather to provide simple yet refined contemporary environments. in total, the cruiser includes a double bedroom with a stowage area and wardrobe, a bathroom with a full height shower, and a central space that transforms from a dining space to another double cabin.

equipped with home automation technology, meaning most features are controlled via smartphones and tablets, the yacht ensures complete luxury through excelling performance. two volvo penta IPS 600 engines deliver a total of 870 hp, speed of 38 knots and a range of 300 miles. the vessel itself, apart from its sleek style, is constructed from resin-infused fiberglass to ensure an efficient yet strong hull. safety is further enhanced through warning alarms and three different onboard battery chargers, in case emergency power is needed.
