Tankoa yacht-501The 50-metre Tankoa S501 superyacht, sold in February 2015 and set to be delivered in April 2017, is approaching its launch.
Featuring Francesco Paszkowski design and interior styling by Margerita Casprini, the yacht has been designed with the utmost care for details, and with an innovative approach which reflects into a beautiful vessel setting new standards in luxury yachting. Among the most praised features of the Tankoa S501, an innovative layout, lateral fold out terraces, floor-to-ceiling windows, a 7-metre tender garage and generous outdoor spaces.
Guido Orsi, President of Tankoa, commented: “I have the utmost respect for Francesco Paszkowski for his significant contribution to making Italian yacht design recognized by the best around the world. With S501, he pushed all the limits of design and aesthetic purity way beyond anything you can find on any other fifty metre.”
Albert McIlroy, the Owner’s representative, commented: “It was a challenging experience as we were working with a very tight contractual delivery schedule. With S501, the shipyard has greatly improved their time schedule management and operation processes and they truly have a Teutonic approach that leaves me speechless for an Italian builder.
I can say that having supervised the construction of many yachts in Holland, not only the work pace and productivity at Tankoa are superiors but it is also probably the first time I see a yacht that size where the production schedule is fully respected without altering the incredible flexibility Tankoa starts being known for.”
