Tankoa Brings 72‑Metre Casino Royale and New Custom Projects to Palm Beach 2026

Tankoa Yachts will attend the Palm Beach International Boat Show, running 25–29 March 2026, presenting an unambiguous statement of how a boutique Italian shipyard balances large‑scale engineering with bespoke craftsmanship. On display is the yard’s current flagship, M/Y Casino Royale (formerly M/Y SOLO), a 72‑metre example of Tankoa’s capacity to execute technically complex, large projects without sacrificing the detailing and owner‑driven customization that define its work.

A boutique yard for bespoke ambitions

Founded on a deliberately limited production model, Tankoa positions itself as a specialized partner for owners who want hands‑on involvement in every phase of a build. The company’s portfolio spans semi‑custom platforms and fully one‑off projects across the 45–75 metre bracket, allowing the yard to tailor structural and aesthetic solutions to exacting owner briefs while maintaining engineering standards that accommodate larger tonnages and advanced systems.

Lineup and recent activity

Tankoa’s semi‑custom production under 500 GT includes the T450 series, penned by Giorgio Cassetta — recently culminating in the delivery of M/Y Singolare — and the T55 Sportiva, designed by Luca Dini. Two T55 Sportiva hulls were handed over last summer, and a third hull is currently under construction and offered for sale.

Market momentum in the United States is evident: the yard announced the sale of a full‑custom 61‑metre project to an American owner at the end of last year, part of several contracts completed through 2025. The U.S. market shows particular appetite for the 45–60 metre segment, a strategic focus for Tankoa as it expands its presence in North America.

Comment from the yard

Claudio Corvino, Sales and Business Development Manager at Tankoa Yachts, explains the show’s importance: “For Tankoa Yachts, the Palm Beach International Boat Show represents a strategic opportunity to engage with a market that values technical know‑how and construction quality. American owners are looking for yachts that express their individuality. Our boutique scale allows us to deliver the level of personalization and direct relationship they expect.”

Presence at Palm Beach

During the show Tankoa will host clients, brokers and the press in a dedicated lounge where current builds and future directions for the shipyard can be discussed in detail. Further information about the yard and its projects is available at www.tankoa.it.

Why this matters

Tankoa’s appearance in Palm Beach underscores two broader trends in the superyacht market: sustained U.S. demand for bespoke European craftsmanship in the 45–60 metre range, and owners’ preference for shipyards that offer a high degree of customization combined with rigorous engineering capable of supporting larger, system‑intensive yachts. For buyers seeking one‑off design and close collaboration with a builder, Tankoa’s model—limited series and one‑off projects—remains compelling.
