Welcoming the results, the owners asked us to add some of this aesthetic flavour to the exterior design, further evolving the DNA of the preliminary concept penned by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7429" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="SFG Yacht Design (Company)">SFG</a> and Fancy by Dada. We changed some of the proportions and lines while extending the stern by around two metres. The overall design and profile, however, remains very much the brainchild of all who have been involved.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/309612/image/large-629b2f83a6ad53354d7c70d5a75d65ca.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/309612">While details of the entirely bespoke interior style are being kept under wraps for now, Gatto says that the owners are delighted with how all their efforts have paid off. “The process from first renders to interior concept took around ten months, an exceptional timeframe for a 40-metre project that will truly deserve to be called a mini-megayacht.” Project Evo will include first-class accommodations for ten, including a master stateroom on the main deck and two twin guest suites and two VIPs on the lower deck. Three ensuite double crew cabins will be located in the forepeak next to the mess, while the captain’s cabin will be situated on the bridge deck.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/309609/image/large-e83e933703ecb5e3921ae448972794c6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/309609">“It is clear that <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2948" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Van der Valk Shipyard (Company)">Van der Valk</a> is one of the few yards in the Netherlands with the capacity and flexibility to build fully custom superyachts in this size range,” concludes head of sales Yoeri Bijker. “This 40-metre beauty is based upon an existing engineered platform that is proven in terms of naval architecture. Project EVO is a fine example of how clients can come to Van der Valk with their own exterior designers without having to reinvent the wheel with a new hull, safe in the knowledge that their yacht will excel in terms of performance, speed and stability.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/309608/image/large-41125f829f0e5065639ca3ef5b70d646.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/309608">The 370 GT bluewater cruising yacht will feature a round bilged, fast displacement hull and a top speed of 24 knots. Built to ABS class, Project Evo will also be fully compliant with the latest IMO Tier III emissions regulations.
