Tankoa at Palm Beach 2026: Italian Bespoke Yachting Center Stage with 72m Casino Royale

Genova–Tankoa Yachts returns to the Palm Beach International Boat Show (March 25–29, 2026) with a clear message: Italian boutique production, exacting engineering and owner‑driven customization remain powerful differentiators in the U.S. market. On display will be the shipyard’s current flagship, M/Y Casino Royale (ex M/Y SOLO), a 72‑metre example of the yard’s capacity to marry large‑scale technical complexity with the detailing and flexibility of bespoke construction.

Flagship presence, boutique philosophy

Tankoa’s participation in Palm Beach illustrates the yard’s sustained growth in America and its focus on producing a deliberately limited number of vessels. The company’s model hinges on intense owner involvement at every stage, high construction standards and an ability to adapt designs to precise owner preferences—attributes that appeal to American clients seeking distinct, individualized yachts rather than standardized production models.

Model range: semi‑custom and full custom

Operating in the 45–75 metre segment, Tankoa balances semi‑custom platforms with one‑off commissions. The semi‑custom offering under 500 GT includes the T450 series by Giorgio Cassetta—recently culminating in the delivery of M/Y Singolare—and the T55 Sportiva, penned by Luca Dini. Two T55 Sportiva units were delivered last summer and a third hull is currently under construction and on the market.

Alongside repeatable semi‑custom platforms, Tankoa continues to develop fully custom one‑off projects in collaboration with international designers, converting bespoke stylistic and technical briefs into unique yachts. The yard’s recent announcement of a 61‑metre full‑custom sale to an American owner—revealed at the end of last year—underscores the appetite in the U.S. market for tailor‑made mid‑to‑large superyachts.

At the show

During the show Tankoa will host clients, brokers and press in a dedicated lounge where ongoing projects and the yard’s future plans will be discussed. “For Tankoa Yachts, the Palm Beach International Boat Show is a strategic opportunity to engage with a market that values technical know‑how and construction quality,” says Claudio Corvino, Sales and Business Development Manager. “American owners look for yachts that express their individuality. Our boutique scale allows us to offer the degree of personalization and direct relationship they expect.”

Industry context: why this matters

Tankoa’s profile at Palm Beach is a useful barometer of broader tendencies in the superyacht sector: as buyers in the United States increasingly target bespoke vessels in the 45–60 metre band, shipyards that combine strong engineering credentials with flexible, owner‑centric processes gain a competitive edge. Tankoa’s dual strategy—offering semi‑custom repeatable platforms alongside fully bespoke commissions—positions it to capture both clients seeking faster delivery and those pursuing unique, statement projects.

For owners and brokers focused on individuality and build quality, that combination continues to resonate.
