Evo V8 combines the speed of a motor yacht with the comfort and relaxation of sailing.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/190736/image/large-0bb2096766fb4f54b2a0deeba6b2592a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/190736">Evo V8 features an exterior beach club, raised just 70cm above the water level, it allows guests to access the water almost seamlessly.

Due to launch in the spring of 2021, the Velar 78 features refined interior and exterior designs by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5701" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Valerio Rivellini Yacht Design (Company)">Valerio Rivellini</a> and an adapted naval architecture by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5671" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Evo Yachts (Company)">Evo Yachts</a>.<img src="https://d3w3pid64ak8v.cloudfront.net/photo/121263/image/large-e26756e8b24aab49ec7718918a3586a9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/121263">Speaking about the development of the Velar concept, the Mercuri brothers from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5671" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Evo Yachts (Company)">Evo Yachts</a> commented: “After the success of our R4 and R6 models, we had for some time been looking at extending the range and adding a new series of yachts that lived up to our reputation for innovation. When we saw the Velar concept by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5701" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Valerio Rivellini Yacht Design (Company)">Valerio Rivellini</a>, our go-to designer for many years, we realised it was exactly what we were looking for. Velar is original, intelligent and cross-market, but it is also a boat that can be built using consolidated processes. We immediately reached an understanding with Valerio and the result is the Velar 78, the first model in a new series.”<img src="https://d3w3pid64ak8v.cloudfront.net/photo/121258/image/large-a7fb68c6dc3d6137ae7642c1ba7a6fe2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/121258">Showcasing a minimalistic exterior, the all-GRP Velar 78 yacht incorporates distinctive features typically found on both motor and sailing yachts into her design. The yacht wheel exemplifies this by giving her owner the sensation of heading up a sailing yacht, while the helm station in the deckhouse, which is equipped with a joystick drive for easy manoeuvring, provides a sheltered alternative. With glazed surfaces and a T-top, the deckhouse can also be opened up completely.&nbsp;
