In the world of high-end yachting, few vessels compare to a custom-built superyacht. Enter the Tankoa T560 Apache, a 56m (184ft) maritime marvel revealed by esteemed Italian builder, Tankoa Yachts.
Conceived by the renowned designer Alberto Mancini, the Tankoa T560 Apache draws its inspiration from the larger 76m (249ft) T760 Apache concept that captivated audiences at the Monaco Yacht Show in 2021. This latest project, however, stands a testament to Tankoa's ability to distill the features of a larger yacht into a more intimate yet equally luxurious package.
Claudio Corvino, Sales and Business Development Manager at Tankoa highlighted the build team's challenges and subsequent successes in creating a vessel that offers the spaciousness and features of much larger yachts, all within a sleek and elegant form. As a result, the T560 Apache is designed to maximize internal space without compromise, offering a beach-style retreat with vast external spaces that defy the usual formality of yachts in its class.
The birth of the Tankoa T560 Apache began at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show in 2022, where a young American couple sought a unique yachting solution. Engaging with Fraser Yachts USA and broker J.D. Crawford, they found a synergy with Tankoa that led to the crafting of a yacht that perfectly aligned with their vision. The sale was finalized in early August 2023, with Fraser Yachts also taking an active role in the project management during the yacht's construction.
The T560 Apache features an exquisite owner's suite on the bridge deck, offering unparalleled panoramic views from within a 50m2 studio apartment. A private terrace, complete with a 5.5m flying pool and an alfresco lounge area with a central firepit, offers both privacy and luxury in equal measure.
Guests are treated to a relaxed beach-chic vibe with five suites on the main deck, including a full-beam VIP suite and four twin/double cabins with exceptional sea views. The yacht's layout is intelligently designed to provide a sense of informality while maintaining an air of elegance.
The beach club and waterside aft deck serve as the yacht's crowning jewels, featuring a 4m glass pool and drop-down side balconies that extend into a 90m2 play space. This area perfectly encapsulates the yacht's beach chic aesthetic desired by the American owners.
For those seeking recreation, the Tankoa T560 Apache does not disappoint. A wellness center and gym with a drop-down waterside terrace are thoughtfully placed on the lower deck, offering both seclusion and accessibility. The tender garage, cleverly situated on the main deck level, houses a 7m (23ft) tender and an array of aquatic toys.
Throughout the T560 Apache, Alberto Mancini's design expertise shines through, with the ability to preserve the key features from the larger T760 Apache concept. The yacht's interior-exterior spaces, coupled with its flowing lines, cleverly conceal the impressive 840GT volume without compromise, speaking volumes of Tankoa Yachts and their collaborator's dedication to custom solutions.
