Our brand-new superyacht project of 61-metre has been finally sold. This new vessel is a fully custom, one-off creation which reflects our boutique philosophy and commitment to crafting yachts entirely tailored to each owner’s vision, from the blank page to the finished vessel.
From the very first stages of the design, the identity of this 61-metre yacht becomes evident, where meticulous attention to detail and a clever use of functional space take on a central role. Both the exteriors and interiors will be presented later. They have been developed by external designers in close collaboration with the owner and the Tankoa Centro Stile, with the aim of creating an atmosphere of effortless luxury and style.
Scheduled for delivery in February 2029, this new unit has been sold to an American client.

We are glad to announce the acquisition of OTAM’s business division. The transaction, finalized in full agreement with the two founding families, includes both the historic shipyard in Genoa and the OTAM brand. The dockyard activities in Santa Margherita Ligure will remain under the ownership of the current owners.
The expansion project presented at the beginning of 2025 continues successfully. The OTAM facility covers approximately 4,800 sqm of covered areas, 3,300 sqm of open-air spaces and a water basin of nearly 10,000 sqm, complete with existing infrastructure and operational workshops. We will undergo a restructuring and upgrading program that includes extending concessions, consolidating and reorganizing these areas, and building new production sheds in line with our current needs.
An operation that goes beyond facilities and infrastructure: the OTAM workforce is being integrated into our team, ensuring job continuity while enriching the shipyard with new skills and experience. The OTAM brand, with its long-standing heritage and solid international reputation, thus becomes part of Tankoa’s portfolio.
With this transaction, we further strengthen our bond with the city of Genoa, reaffirming our role as an ambassador of Italian yacht building excellence and consolidating our presence in the region.

We are proud to announce that we have received the 2025 World Yacht Trophies for our T450 M/Y Singolare in the Best Custom Yacht 40M-50M category. An award that recognizes a very successful model, designed by Giorgio Cassetta.

The first hull built at our new Civitavecchia facility has reached our headquarters in Genoa. It is a 45-metre yacht from the T450 series, another unit of which was recently launched. This transfer marks a significant step in Tankoa Yachts’ broader strategy for growth and development.
Our shipyard has held a concession in Civitavecchia since December 2023. Key production activities – including hull and superstructure construction, machinery installation, and initial outfitting – were all completed on site.The transfer by sea involved a multi-phase logistics operation: the hull was first transported on trailers from the facility to the quay, then loaded onto a barge and towed to Genoa, where it was offloaded at Tankoa Yachts’ private docking area. The voyage took approximately two days, and the yacht has now been moved into one of the yard’s sheds for final outfitting ahead of its launch.
The Civitavecchia project is a key part of our strategic expansion plan, which has made it necessary to enlarge production capacity. At the same time, it strengthens Civitavecchia’s role as a new hub for high-end yacht construction, within a port that combines strong potential with a long-standing maritime heritage.

We are proud to announce the technical launch of M/Y Singolare, the second yacht in the Tankoa T450 series. Measuring 45 metres in length and designed by Giorgio Cassetta, this highly versatile model continues to attract growing interest, following the success of the first unit, M/Y GO. It is backed by a dynamic production line that includes a third 45-metre hull and two 50-metre T500s currently under construction and already sold.
M/Y Singolare is a true expression of our boutique philosophy: generous and flexible volumes, refined detailing, and technical solutions that enhance both functionality and onboard comfort. Tailored to reflect the lifestyle and personal taste of its South American Owner, this new vessel sets a new benchmark in the compact superyacht segment –further strengthening our presence in international markets.
Delivery is scheduled for this summer, with an inaugural cruise in the Mediterranean, followed by a winter season in the Caribbean. And for those eager to discover it in person, M/Y Singolare will be on display at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2025.
It awaits you there, and so do we.

Just over a month after the debut of our first T55 hull, we are proud to announce the technical launch of the second unit in the T55 Sportiva series, christened M/Y Loewe. This latest yacht features a six-cabin layout – one more than the inaugural model – offering increased guest capacity without compromising comfort or privacy. An internal elevator connects all decks, ensuring smooth and effortless accessibility throughout the vessel.
Among the yacht’s standout features is the spacious beach club, enhanced with a striking sealine window, a sauna, and a hammam.
Sold to an experienced European owner, M/Y Loewe was designed by Luca Dini Design & Architecture and developed in close synergy with our shipyard. The result is a fully bespoke project that will grace the waters of the Mediterranean throughout the current season.

During our press conference at Palm Beach International Boat Show 2025, we had the pleasure of welcoming one of the most talented, international young artists – Aran La, age 10, who live-painted our newly unveiled model: the Tankoa S520, designed by Francesco Paszkowski.
This young artist’s passion for art and design started at the age of three and is vast, ranging from cars, landscapes to portraits, extending to superyachts. With his work in high demand, he has an extensive waiting list of many months and travels the world invited to private events, prestigious car shows and yacht shows.
Our S520 is an exclusive yacht, captured in an exclusive painting – A unique artwork that will be gifted to the first client to sign the S520 contract.

We are proud to announce the technical launch of M/Y Rose, the first hull of the all-new Tankoa T55 Sportiva model, unveiled in June 2021 in collaboration with Luca Dini Design & Architecture. A confirmation that our Sportiva Line is expanding more and more, with a second T55 Sportiva currently under construction and scheduled for launch before summer, and a third hull being built on spec and available for delivery in 2027.

The launch of M/Y Rose marks a significant step forward for our shipyard, which enters the luxury sport yacht segment with a bold design philosophy, distinguished by its sleek, aerodynamic lines. The owner was personally involved in every stage of the design and construction process, showcasing our full-custom approach and making our brand-new yacht, his brand-new yacht.

M/Y Rose is a whole other yacht, ready to make its international debut at Monaco Yacht Show 2025. And we are ready too.

For the first time, Tankoa Yachts participated in this prestigious event, showcasing two exceptional vessels: the world premiere of M/Y GO and the U.S. debut of M/Y Diamond Binta. A significant milestone for our shipyard, contributing to a highly successful and rewarding show.

The annual Design & Leadership Award Gala took place on October 30th in Fort Lauderdale, and we are proud to announce that we have received the 2024 International Superyacht Society Award in the Best in motor < 500 GT category for our M/Y Grey, superbly designed by Paszkowski for worldwide impact.
