A Decade of Evolution

Evo Yachts marks the 10th anniversary of its first R4 with the world premiere of the new R4 Icone at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2025. The model reflects both the yard’s history and its focus on future comfort and flexibility. 

The R4 Icone is about a metre longer than the original version and features an aggressive bow, sleek new air intakes, and expansive side windows that flood the interiors with light. Designed in collaboration with Valerio Rivellini, it balances dynamic performance with liveability across all seasons.

Design and Comfort

On the main deck, the aluminium hard top encloses a living space centred around an automotive-inspired console. A large C-shaped sofa, adaptable for forward or rear-facing views, sits alongside an adjustable pilot seat for ergonomic navigation. The area includes a convertible table, a compact galley, and a pantograph door leading outside. 

At the stern, Besenzoni’s XT system extends the platform into a versatile waterside terrace, offering adaptable furnishings for different times of day. 

Below deck, the interiors use Alcantara, Alpi wood, and textured materials to create warmth. Two spacious double cabins, a fridge, storage, and a hallway complete the arrangement. Power comes from two Volvo IPS 650 engines delivering 480hp each. 

A Customisable Experience

Like all Evo Yachts, the R4 Icone offers wide-ranging customisation options for families, groups of friends, or owners seeking a winter cruising experience. 

Evo R+ Also on Display

Alongside the R4 Icone, Evo Yachts will exhibit the R+, an 18-metre model built for conviviality and versatility. With a sharp black aluminium top, glazing around the helm, and flexible living spaces on both decks, it is designed for extended stays on board. The yacht features three cabins plus a crew cabin and is powered by two Volvo Penta IPS 950 engines. 

Evo Yachts will showcase both models at Quai St Pierre 144 during the Cannes Yachting Festival, from 9 to 14 September 2025.
