Heesen Yachts has announced the keel laying of its Project “Evita,” a 57-meter all-aluminium yacht. The keel laying ceremony took place at Heesen’s facility in Oss, Netherlands.
The advanced engineering of project “Evita” guarantees a top speed of 22 knots at half load, offering a seamless blend of performance and comfort, the shipyard states. Designed with a shallow draft, this yacht is perfectly suited for cruising the waters of the Bahamas.
“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.”
“Evita” boasts a volume of 780 GT
The exterior, crafted by Omega Architects, features a striking silhouette characterized by an elongated profile and a distinctive scoop-shaped stern. With sharp angles and dynamic lines, the design evokes the elegance and power of a leaping animal. As the second vessel in Heesen’s new 57m Aluminium Class with FDHF, project “Evita” boasts an volume of 780 GT, offering space without compromising speed or agility.
The interior, designed by Harrison Eidsgaard, is tailored for both relaxation and entertainment. Project “Evita” accommodates up to 12 guests in six staterooms. A central elevator connects all three decks, ensuring effortless access for guests.
A standout feature of project “Evita” is the pool on the main deck aft. Complementing this is a thoughtfully designed lazarette in the transom, which provides storage for an array of water toys and ensures endless opportunities for adventure on the water.
The delivery of project “Evita” is scheduled for Q2 2027.
