Introducing the Tykun XII: A New Era of Luxury Tenders
In the world of yachting, where elegance meets performance, the upcoming Monaco Yacht Show is set to unveil a remarkable addition to the luxury tender market: the Tykun XII. Crafted by the renowned Tykun MED Group, this stunning vessel is designed to serve multiple roles, from high-performance chase boat to luxury tender and even a weekend cruiser.
Specifications that Impress
At an impressive overall length of 42 feet and 4 inches, coupled with an 11-foot 6-inch beam, the Tykun XII builds on the innovative foundation laid by its predecessor, the Tykun X. This new flagship showcases an all-aluminum construction that echoes military-grade resilience, ensuring durability while enhancing the vessel’s aesthetic appeal.
Design Ingenuity by Tommaso Spadolini
The Tykun XII’s design is the brainchild of distinguished designer Tommaso Spadolini, in collaboration with Benedetta Iovane. The vessel retains the stepped aluminum hull, a hallmark of its predecessor, but introduces greater layout flexibility both above and below deck. This adaptability is particularly appealing to discerning owners who prioritize customization in their maritime experience.

A Versatile Layout for Every Occasion
One of the standout features of the Tykun XII is its dual configuration options—Low Bow and High Bow. The Low Bow variant offers a walkaround deck and a spacious forward social area, perfect for entertaining guests in calm waters. Conversely, the High Bow configuration focuses on maximizing interior volume, catering to those who may wish to utilize the vessel for overnight excursions.
Additionally, the cockpit can be expanded at anchor thanks to fold-down bulwarks, creating an inviting space for relaxation. Below deck, owners have the choice of a double berth, a V-berth, or a convertible salon, along with an enclosed head and shower, ensuring comfort for those overnight stays on the water.
Unmatched Performance and Efficiency
Performance is key in the Tykun XII, which is powered by twin outboards, with horsepower options ranging from 400 to 600 each. This robust powertrain allows the vessel to achieve projected top speeds exceeding an exhilarating 50 knots, making it an ideal choice for those seeking both speed and agility.
With a fuel capacity of 343 gallons, the Tykun XII extends its operational range, whether it is being used independently or as a companion to a larger yacht. This efficiency not only enhances the cruising experience but also caters to the needs of owners who appreciate longer excursions without frequent refueling stops.

A Vision for the Future of Yachting
The introduction of the Tykun XII at the Monaco Yacht Show this September marks a significant milestone for MED Group. It embodies the brand’s vision of blending commercial and military engineering principles with the luxury of recreational boating. This approach offers buyers a customizable aluminum platform that circumvents the typical limitations associated with fiberglass construction.
As the yachting community eagerly anticipates its debut, the Tykun XII stands poised to redefine expectations for luxury tenders, promising an unmatched combination of performance, design, and versatility. For those in Miami and beyond, the allure of this elegant vessel is sure to resonate as a symbol of sophistication on the open waters.
