Heesen Yachts is delighted to announce the keel laying of Project Evita, a breathtaking 57-meter all-aluminium yacht designed to set new standards in luxury cruising. The keel laying took place at Heesen’s state-of-the-art facility in Oss, Netherlands, marking the commencement of construction for this exceptional vessel.
Heesen, renowned for its in-house team of master welders, ensures that every hull is meticulously crafted to the highest standards. 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.”
