About this tender
The Anvera 58S is a 17.5m chase boat from Anvera, built in Misano Adriatico, Italy: twin 850hp surface drive, 53 knots and 16 guests.
The Anvera 58S is the build we ask the Italian yard for when a programme needs a platform that can genuinely do both jobs: high-speed chase and on-water hospitality at the same address. At 17.5m on the waterline with a 5.12m beam, it sits at the top of the Anvera range, evolved directly from the proven 55S and carrying the same construction philosophy into a larger, more habitable hull. Twin MAN 850 hp engines driving Top System surface propellers put credible speed numbers on the table - over 50 knots by the manufacturer's own published claim - without the weight penalty that a GRP or aluminium boat of this size would impose.
The structure is where the 58S separates itself from most Italian performance craft of comparable length. Anvera manufactures and laminates its own carbon fibre, combining unidirectional and multiaxial plies with high-density PVC core and epoxy resin throughout hull and superstructure. The result is a boat that is materially lighter than any equivalent GRP platform, which means the twin-engine installation can be sized down without sacrificing performance - a meaningful advantage when it comes to fuel burn on passage and crane loads when recovering to a mothership.
We'd put the 58S alongside a Frauscher or a Vandutch 40 when a captain asks what to consider for an owner who wants real overnight capability in a chase boat. The two lower-deck cabins and dedicated heads compartment, a 1,600-litre fuel tank, and 400 litres of fresh water give it genuine multi-day range without resupply. The folding stern terraces - over 23 square metres of deck when deployed - mean the boat converts from transit mode to beach club in under a minute at anchor, which changes what a programme can offer to guests.
Anvera's background in Class 1 offshore racing shapes the way the 58S is built and finished. The aerodynamic superstructure - shaped around two 12-metre airfoil risers enclosing the helm, deckhouse and cockpit cover - is a direct expression of that DNA, as is the stepped hull bottom that underpins the speed and efficiency figures. For captains evaluating a chase-boat order, it is worth noting that Anvera positions the model as eligible for commercial certification under rigorous standards, which broadens the operational envelope considerably when the owner's programme crosses into charter territory.

Highlights
The four details we'd point out first to a captain who hasn't seen one on the water yet.
Anvera manufactures its own carbon fibre laminate, combining unidirectional and multiaxial plies with high-density PVC core and epoxy resin. The all-carbon construction makes the 58S significantly lighter than a GRP equivalent at the same length, directly improving the power-to-weight ratio and reducing fuel burn per nautical mile.
Production listings specify twin MAN i6-850 engines paired with Top System surface propellers. This driveline configuration delivers the 50-plus-knot top speed the manufacturer quotes, while surface drives keep appendage drag lower than shaft or sterndrive alternatives and improve efficiency in the mid-range cruise band.
The signature hydraulic side terraces extend the hull beam aft by 68 cm per side, creating more than 23 square metres of continuous deck at anchor. The stepped hull below conceals a tender garage forward of the swim platform, so the beach area is unobstructed by toy storage when deployed.
The 58S carries up to 16 guests in the standard configuration. Below decks, two cabins and one bathroom provide crew or owner accommodation for short passages, supported by a 1,600-litre fuel capacity, 400 litres of fresh water, a 5 kW generator, and air conditioning throughout.
Anvera publicly positions the chase-boat versions of its range as eligible to be built and certified under commercial standards, expanding the operational scope for owners whose programmes include charter or professional crew. Buyers intending commercial operation should specify this at order stage, as it affects scantlings and equipment schedules.
