Evo Yachts V8 review: More than just a razor-sharp, head-turning design?

• Looking sharp – the Evo V8 with its aft balconies deployed
• IPS drives give good manoeuvrability

The long aft deck almost doubles in size once the balconies and transformer platform are deployed

The ‘sugar scoop’ shape of the aft platform is another nod to sailboat styling

The crane and tender garage are both hidden below the teak aft deck

• The owner’s private lounge/beach club
• The lavish owner’s suite has direct access to the lower saloon and beach club
• A television unfolds from the ceiling in the owner’s cabin
• The bed in the forward VIP appears to float above the deck
• The ensuite bathroom can be left open to the owner’s cabin to maximise space and light but has separate compartments for the shower and toilet
• The steps to the sun deck drop down from the overhang
• The more formal aft cockpit

The Italian yard’s biggest and boldest design yet brings sailing inspired ideas to the world of motoryachts. Alan Harper takes a sea trial…

During last year’s test of the Evo R6 Open , at a specially arranged rendezvous in La Spezia, we were briefed on a new, bigger flagship model in development at Blu Emme’s Naples shipyard.

For such a young company to have already worked its way up to a credible-looking 58-footer seemed impressive enough, but one year on, here’s the new 78ft Evo Yachts V8.

In Valerio Rivellini, the shipyard has discovered a talented young designer. With its unfolding cockpit and razor-sharp looks his R6 was a real head-turner, and the new V8 is all of that and more.

The aft bulwarks unfold on each side, as you would expect. What you might not expect is the tender stowage beneath the deck on the port side, and the substantial crane that emerges from under a hatch to starboard, from which a shady parasol can be suspended when it’s not engaged in tender-handling duties.

There is also a versatile Besenzoni hydraulic bathing platform on the stern, to aid boarding either from the quay or from the water, or simply to extend the cockpit aft.

Broad side decks lead forward to a secluded relaxation area on the bow, and a set of overhead steps drops down to provide surprise access to the top of the deckhouse.

This is not a flybridge, as Rivellini points out, “It’s a rooftop,” he laughs – and is definitely for fine days only, even though it does boast a small, low-level electronic helm station.

The mahogany-capped guard rails down the sides can be extended upwards to provide a little extra security, but this is still an area which should probably remain out of bounds to small children, and indeed to the drunk uncles who had a cameo role in our review of the R6.

There are surprises inside too. The saloon is an attractive and comfortable space, although with plenty of furniture and two companionways – forward to the crew quarters, aft to the guest cabins – it doesn’t feel especially spacious.

However, the vertical windows all round the saloon not only provide superb visibility, but they also open – so on a sunny afternoon at anchor, a pleasant breeze can stand in for the hum of the generator and the hiss of the aircon.

Evo R6 Open review: A boat that will be noticed wherever it goes

£1420000

Bluegame BG72 test drive: €3.8m yacht takes beach club concept to extremes

As Rivellini confirms, “With the windows open it’s like having a T-top on a 24-metre boat. I don’t like air-conditioning!” In a particularly neat touch, the aft saloon window is made of smart glass, both for privacy and to turn it into a back-projection cinema screen for viewing from inside.

That forward companionway, incidentally, is perilously close to the helm – one false step on a choppy day and the captain could be down in the galley nursing the wrong kind of sore head.

At €4m, give or take, the Evo V8 is up against some premium competition so we were surprised to find some disappointing levels of finish, from poor joinery on show in the saloon to untidy wiring and careless paintwork hiding under hatches down below.

The yard assures us these have all been fixed since our test and would have been sorted much earlier had the owner not challenged them to a spring delivery so he could enjoy his yacht over summer prior to returning it for the final finishing touches just a couple of days before our sea trial at the Cannes show.

Morning dip

The layout is fully customisable. Our first example of the Evo V8 had an agreeable VIP cabin in the bows, a small twin, and a rather magnificent midships owner’s suite with its own aft-facing lounge.

This feature might feel familiar to anyone who has been impressed by Bluegame’s innovative BGX models, and Rivellini graciously acknowledges the inspiration.

“In the mornings I like to leap into the water straight from bed,” he says. The owner of the Evo V8 only has to walk through his low-level private lounge to reach the aft deck, and from there it’s but a hop, step and a jump into the sea. Good ideas are there for the taking. With great ideas, it’s pretty much compulsory.

Whether all of Rivellini’s own ideas will find their way into rival yachts remains to be seen. The Evo Yachts V8 is a boat with four places to steer from, three of which have large steering wheels.

Wing helm stations with joysticks are of course very useful when mooring stern-to, but the wing stations on the Evo Yachts V8 are equipped with huge sailboat-style carbon wheels so you can helm the boat under way too.

Along with the curved lower surface of the aft platform, reminiscent of a sailboat’s sugar-scoop stern, these are perhaps the most visible manifestations of the shipyard’s assertion that the Evo V8 represents “a cruising concept at the point of intersection between the worlds of sailing and motor yachts”.

Another curiosity is the panel that conceals all but the upper arc of the main helm wheel. It looks rather odd but I wasn’t able to try it for myself as they wouldn’t let me drive the boat.

At nearly 78ft overall and displacing more than 60 tonnes in cruising trim, the Evo V8 is perhaps not as high-powered as its name suggests.

On our balmy test day its top speed of 21 knots was achieved with the Humphree fins and interceptors in automatic mode, chatting away to the IPS drives and smoothing the way effectively.

The hull beneath the waterline is a competent moderate V-bottom. It turned willingly enough and there didn’t appear to be any handling issues, although the ride through head seas – we had to seek out obliging wakes from other boats – was a little firmer than expected, perhaps due to the broad chines.

At the optimum cruising speed of 15 knots and 1,900rpm, however, the hull ironed everything out, and with the engines right aft, noise levels in the saloon were minimal.

Price as reviewed:

£3,200,000.00 ex. VAT

By the end of our sea trial on the V8 we were left with much the same impressions as we took from the Evo R6 – an intriguing concept, where some great ideas compete for attention with a few that perhaps need a little more refining. Of course in this crowded market it’s good to stand out, as one buyer’s weird might be another buyer’s wonderful. Blu Emme is clearly unafraid of asking such questions, and in a style-conscious world, it manifestly understands the importance of bold design. As ever, the market will be the ultimate arbiter of commercial success and the yard’s ability to customise means changes can easily be accommodated. In the meantime we applaud the yard’s bravery in backing its young designer’s vision and being prepared to take a risk.

Evo Yachts Unveils the first renderings of EVO V8

Evo Yachts’ exclusive new flagship, the 24-metre yacht initially known as the Velar 78 concept and…

Evo Yachts’  exclusive new flagship , the 24-metre yacht initially known as the Velar 78 concept and today officially named  Evo V8 , is the first model in the new V line and a highly original proposal that will amaze the market with all its innovative features. 

With its  understated and refined design , this extraordinary model has been developed to offer an  unprecedented onboard lifestyle and an  alternative  to anything seen before, marking a clear break from the stylistic imprint of its predecessors in order to offer  a new interpretation of life at sea . 

Evo V8 is a boat designed to  excite and amaze , like a Russian matryoshka doll hiding multiple nested surprises. And while the designer and shipyard promise to reveal all these secrets when the yacht is officially presented at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2021, some first glimpses can already be seen in the newly released renders of the vessel.

For  Blu Emme Yachts , the shipyard behind the fortunate Evo Yachts brand, the realisation of this model and a new product line represents a major watershed. With a design penned by  Valerio Rivellini , Evo V8 springs from the desire to find the point of intersection between suggestions from the two worlds of  sailing and motor yachts , with the aim of taking the best of both and  revolutionising the cruising experience . 

The project is an invitation to see life on board as  a time for socialising and relaxation , even when cruising under power at high speed. As the designer explains, “motor yacht lovers begin their holiday when they reach their destination, either at anchor off the coast or in port, whereas sailing yacht owners start their holiday right away, as soon as they step on board.  Evo V8 combines the speed of a motor yacht with the comfort and relaxation of sailing ”. 

One of the main results of this mixed approach is the fact that there are a remarkable  four helm stations . The first station on the Main Deck forward of the main salon and the second on the Roof Top, fitted with a retractable steering console, are joined by two yacht  wheels  on the port and starboard sides of the Main Deck. A clear reference to the world of sailing, they are an invitation to enjoy cruising in close contact with the water, as well as being very practical when manoeuvring. The space between the two helm wheels is completely free, but the side seats and the couches around them invite socialisation between the driver and their guests, something that isn’t usually possible on a motor yacht. 

The particularly innovative layout of Evo V8, which sets it apart from other boats on the market in the same category, is even clearer to see in the beach area, which can be provided with direct access from the master stateroom at the owner’s request. 

The beach area is an open space on the water, just 70 cm above the waterline, designed to be able to enjoy seamless contact with nature and an unbroken 180-degree panoramic view thanks to hull sides that open, eliminating all visual barriers and conveying the sensation of being at one with the surrounding environment. Three steps connect the beach area with a low  lounge area  that precedes the master stateroom and has big sliding glass doors, allowing it to perform two functions: an open air patio for daytime use, separated from the interiors and offering  shelter from the wind and sun , and a private living area for the owner at night, when the door to the exterior deck is closed, transforming it into an exclusive open space suite  12 metres  long. 

Evo V8 has a  fully customizable layout , with two different stairways leading from the Main Deck directly to the Lower deck, so that the  crew and guest flows can be kept separate . The first unit has three cabins sleeping seven and a cabin for the crew of two. The Lower Deck contains the master stateroom, two guest cabins and a crew cabin. On the Main Deck, the spacious salon with a dining area is surrounded by big windows that can be lowered almost entirely for even more contact with the outside environment and to limit the use of the air conditioning: an option that makes Evo V8 even more like a  24-metre open with hard top . 

Evo V8 will be launched in the coming months and handed over to the Italian owner, a loyal customer and a great fan of the Evo Yachts brand.

Watch: Evo Yachts' new V8 flagship underway

The 24m flagship of Evo Yachts , the V8, has been revealed underway in a brand new video released by the Neapolitan shipyard. It comes after the yacht received its world premiere at the Cannes Yachting Festival in September 2021.

The first yacht in the builder's V Line, the V8 is designed by Valerio Rivellini and features "clean lines and a refined design", according to the builder.

Formerly named Velar 78 and based on a concept previously launched by Rivellini , the V8 was originally developed as a 21.5 metre yacht before reaching its final form.

The interiors of the yacht are fully customisable, but the first unit features a large lounge and dining area, accommodation for six guests and four helm stations. 

The shipyard previously described the yacht as having a design that “combines the strengths of both motor and sailing yachts”. This is seen in the large helm that has been inspired by those found on sailing yachts.

Designer Valerio Rivellini explained: “Usually motor yacht lovers begin their holiday when they reach their destination, either at anchor off the coast or in port, whereas sailing yacht enthusiasts start their holiday right away, as soon as they step on board.

"Evo V8 combines the speed of a motor yacht with the comfort and relaxation of sailing”.
