Italian shipyard Tankoa Yachts confirms its participation in the Palm Beach International Boat Show, held March 25-29.
The appearance highlights Tankoa’s steady growth in the American market, where its boutique approach - characterized by limited production, direct owner involvement and high build quality and flexibility, focused on bespoke yachts - continues to attract interest also from American yacht owners.
The shipyard will display its 236-foot (72m) flagship, M/Y Casino Royale (previously M/Y SOLO). As the largest yacht built by Tankoa Yachts to date, Casino Royale demonstrates the yard's capacity to manage technically complex, large-scale projects while maintaining the flexibility and attention to detail that makes the Made in Italy unique. She is a key reference point for Tankoa’s engineering standards and its ability to deliver significant volume without compromising on design or performance.
The United States has become more and more a strategic hub for the shipyard, with particularly strong demand in the 150 to 200-foot (45–60m) range and beyond. The recently announced sale of a 61-meter full custom project to an American client is the latest in a string of yacht sales recorded in 2025, further confirming this trend.
Tankoa Yachts is focusing heavily on 45-75m segment through both semi-custom platforms and fully custom builds. Semi-custom under 500 GT production currently features the T450 series, designed by Giorgio Cassetta, that recently saw the delivery of its latest unit, M/Y Singolare, and the T55 Sportiva series designed by Luca Dini. Two units of the latter were delivered last summer, while a third hull is currently under construction and available for sale.
While these platforms provide a proven technical foundation, Tankoa Yachts continues to develop one-off custom projects, working alongside international designers to translate specific stylistic and technical briefs into reality.
“For Tankoa Yachts, the Palm Beach International Boat Show is a strategic opportunity to engage with a market that values technical depth and build quality,” says Claudio Corvino, Sales and Business Development Manager of Tankoa Yachts. “American clients are looking for yachts that reflect their individuality. We find that our boutique scale allows us to offer the level of personalization and direct communication they expect.”
Tankoa Yachts will host clients, brokers, and media at a dedicated lounge during the event to discuss current projects and future developments.
