Italian boatbuilder Evo Yachts is charting a course into the southern hemisphere, with Sydney-based dealer Boatology named as its exclusive Oceania representative under a new distribution agreement covering New Zealand and Australia.
The arrangement makes its public debut at the Sydney International Onwater Boat Show 2025, running from 13 to 16 November at Cockle Bay Marina in Darling Harbour. The event will give the region its first direct look at Evo's contemporary design philosophy, aimed squarely at a market that values innovation, functionality, and outdoor living.
Boatology founder and CEO Zain Moloobhoy sees the pairing as a natural one for Australasian boating culture.
“Italian craftsmanship, attention to detail, and full freedom to enjoy the outdoor spaces are a perfect match for the Australian and New Zealand approach to boating.”
The first Evo R4 Icone is due to reach local waters in 2026, carrying the brand's signature combination of transformable deck layouts, fresh design thinking, and social versatility.
For Evo Yachts, securing Boatology as its Oceania partner marks a further step in the brand's push well beyond its European origins, extending its international presence into the Pacific region.
"Our presence in Oceania consolidates our vision of a global, modern boating experience — one that connects people through design, performance, and passion for the sea," an Evo spokesperson said.
Boatology brings substantial heritage to the partnership. The Drummoyne, Sydney business traces its roots to a family marine legacy dating back to 1905, underpinning more than 120 years of maritime experience. The company is guided by a philosophy it calls 'Saltwater Therapy', built on the conviction that time afloat returns people to what truly matters: creating joyful memories on the water with family and friends.
Its existing portfolio spans luxury and performance craft, with the emphasis on delivering a seamless ownership experience from first purchase through to life on the water. As Evo Yachts begins reaching New Zealand and Australian buyers, Boatology has committed to a hands-on, locally grounded approach backed by generations of passion for life at sea.
