Tankoa has become the latest shipyard to reveal a record-breaking 12 months after it concluded 2021 by selling its first T450 superyacht.
The 45m (147.6ft) steel and aluminum superyacht, designed inside and out by Giorgio M. Cassetta, has been sold to a North American Owner. The Italian yard has revealed the inaugural hull also features many customizations, including larger windows on the main deck and a longer upper deck salon which raises the gross tonnage from 435GT to 450GT.
“This contract makes 2021 a record year for Tankoa,” says Eva Orsi, President of Tankoa Yachts. “For me, the most important thing is to see that our commercial strategies and investments are going the right way: we have strengthened the sales department and invested in new products to offer a wider range of fantastic yachts to the market. At the same time, we have also improved internal industrial processes. This year’s results are the outcome of these strategies and hard work”.
The new Tankoa T450 can accommodate 12 guests across six cabins, the highlight of which is a ‘huge master suite’ forward on the main deck. Other standout features include an open-air cinema in the aft cockpit, an upper deck with a dedicated gym and a fire pit on the foredeck, a spacious sundeck with a glass-walled jacuzzi and shaded dining space and a generous beach club area.

“It has been a real pleasure to work with this client and his team. He came out with brilliant ideas and Giorgio Cassetta turned them into a fantastic final design and layout,” says Claudio Corvino, Tankoa’s Sales Manager. “Now we are looking forward to a pleasant and fun building process all together. We are also proud to have sold this yacht to a client who will certainly help to develop even more our presence in the American market”.
The Genoa-based yard is one of many that have confirmed the booming status of the superyacht market currently. Just a few days ago Cantiere delle Marche revealed it had 14 explorer vessels in construction and earlier this month Sanlorenzo announced it was building a new flagship 72m (236ft) superyacht that was the “crowning achievement of an unparalleled year”. British builder Pearl also revealed this month that 2021 had been its most successful year ever.
The first T450 is scheduled for delivery in 2023 and is in keeping with the other yachts in Tankoa’s fleet, it has been individually created to a client’s ideas but is based on an existing and proven design platform. To explore its fleet fully view all Tankoa Yachts for sale.
