TANKOA S501 FOR SALE

The Tankoa S501 is the Genoa shipyard’s answer to the 500 GT class: a 49.9m aluminium superyacht, designed inside and out by Francesco Paszkowski, with delivery at the shipyard in 2029. Hulls already in the water have proven the platform’s seaworthiness, stabilization and low noise levels, and this example is offered as a new build slot.

Twin MAN 1,400 hp diesels deliver a 17-knot top speed, a 15-knot cruising speed and transoceanic range of around 4,500 nautical miles. Accommodation is for twelve guests in six cabins with a main-deck master suite and a crew of seven. The main deck layout can be configured in a wide range, including several owner’s cabin arrangements.

Outdoor living is the S501’s party piece: a foredeck pool, a flybridge with jacuzzi, lounge and bar, and deck spaces that run the full length of the yacht, all shown in the shipyard images on this page.

Ordering a new build yacht — what we handle

We manage the full process: specification and contract negotiation with the shipyard, build supervision and milestone inspections, sea trial and acceptance, registration and documentation, delivery logistics, crew recruitment, and yacht management and maintenance once she is in service.

At 499 GT she sits just under the regulatory threshold, which keeps crewing and compliance simpler while offering the interior volume of a much larger yacht. Lloyd’s and MCA classification make her equally suitable for private use or charter registration.

The foredeck pool is rare on any yacht under 50m, and the flybridge layout keeps the jacuzzi, bar and lounge in one social space rather than splitting guests across decks.

For a similar volume in a pre-owned package, see the Benetti 56M, also listed with Dubriani.
