In the Evita project, Dutch shipyard Heesen has announced a construction milestone: the joining of the hull and superstructure.
As the shipyard explains, this marks the official point in the project at which the vessel’s final classification rules are implemented. For a prospective owner, this phase offers the opportunity to personalise the yacht ahead of delivery.
With an internal volume of 780 GT and nearly 400 square metres of interior space, the interior provides a versatile foundation for individual customisation. A central feature is the glass elevator located midships, which provides access across three decks and makes Project Evita particularly attractive for multi-generational families. The owner’s stateroom spans the full 10.5-metre beam, while five additional guest cabins accommodate a further ten guests.
While the interior layout was designed by Harrison Eidsgaard, the interior styling comes from Heesen Yachts Interiors, the shipyard’s in-house interior workshop.
Project Evita features an exterior design by Omega Architects, which Heesen says is particularly distinguished by its striking scallop-shaped transom. A structural departure from the award-winning sister ship “Santosha” is the redesigned aft section, which replaces the traditional beach club with an infinity pool on the main deck aft.
The exterior decks are generously proportioned, with the sundeck alone divided into three zones: aft sun loungers, a central dining and bar area beneath the hardtop, and a forward lounge.
By combining the efficiency of a lightweight aluminium hull with impressive volumes, Project Evita represents a unique proposition in the over-50-metre segment. Following this structural milestone, the shipyard’s focus now turns to the installation of technical systems and bespoke interior outfitting.
