Evo R4+ is the new R line model born from the desire to enhance the Evo R+’s closed deck, which attracted considerable interest after the World premiere of the seventeen meter model at the 2023 Cannes boat show. The new R4+ oject is another step forward in Evo Yachts journey of experimentation with new materials such as aluminium, with a view to introducing more environmentally sustainable processes. Evo Yachts and Valerio Rivellini, the designer of both exteriors and interiors, but also the designer to date of all Evo Yachts models worked to launch a model on the market that combines extremely liveable exteriors with the comfort of a cabin cruiser. The result is a thirteen-metre sport cruiser with striking styling that also offers exceptional comfort and lets owners enjoy cruises in all weather conditions, using the various areas in different ways, according to their needs, thanks to innovative, modular solutions for the hard top and stern area. The aluminium hard top is produced in the shipyard and features several removable Plexiglas parts that allow this area to be partially opened, offering different living conditions according to requirements and the weather. As can be seen, this innovative solution offers the benefits of two different types of boat: with the hard top removed, the sensation is of an open yacht connected seamlessly to the surrounding environment, but always with the option of a quick and easy change of scene. But that’s not the only innovation offered by this hard top, which has a spoiler in the forward section for natural ventilation, while the ceiling is clad in Alcantara panels that give this setting a hybrid outdoor/indoor look. Evo Yachts has also developed a special LED lighting system that makes this space particularly enjoyable and atmospheric when it’s dark. The hard top also features carefully designed supports for radar and other systems, which are increasingly in demand even on yachts this size. In the beach area, the totally custom multifunctional stern platform adds an extra metre in length to the boat when open, as well as offering a range of different ways to take full advantage of the yacht. This tender lift transformer is the result of collaboration between the Blu Emme shipyard, designer Valerio Rivellini and Besenzoni. The system’s excellent mechanical characteristics and movement mechanisms allow the swim platform to be lowered to about 80 centimetres below the sea’s surface, making it easier to enter or leave the water at any point of the stern, or to be extended completely for safe, convenient access even from high piers. The platform is wide enough to be used as a boarding ladder even with a tender or jet ski moored to it, without having to remove them. The sun sofa island featured in the centre of the beach area is accompanied by a multifunctional sliding dining table. The beach area and cockpit are designed for easy transformation according to guests’ different needs at different times of day: from a generous sun lounge to a dining area. The Mercuri brothers’ Shipyard has once again successfully combined the benefits of two types of boat; walkaround and cabin cruiser in a highly innovative product that’s ideal for owner families who want to enjoy their boat year-round and are looking for a compromise between comfort and sportiness. Like the other models in the R line, the R4+ is a fast day cruiser features the innovation that has made Evo Yachts models famous around the world: the beach area can be completely transformed by activating the brand’s hallmark “XTension” bulwarks, which open out hydraulically in under thirty seconds to increase usable deck space by 40% and turn the cockpit into a 25-square-metre ‘pieds dans l’eau’ terrace that can be fitted out as desired. The premium interiors below deck are functional and can be personalised, offering comfortable settings where the focus is once again on transformability. A door opens onto the finely designed Plexiglas staircase, with a lighting system and large non-slip steps, and leads to a double cabin. Forward of the bathroom is a generous dinette with a kitchen unit large enough to accommodate various appliances, a foldaway table that can be converted into another double bed, and a mirror with a built-in TV. The generous spaces are in part thanks to the compact Volvo IPS engines and a layout designed with a special focus on ergonomics. Evo Yachts R4+ is fitted with twin Volvo 480hp engines with IPS pod drives for a top speed of 34 knots and a range of about 300 nautical miles.
