New Launch: Tankoa T580

Tankoa present the custom T580 titled m/y Diamond Binta.  Based on the 58 meter platform this custom Tankoa T580 is designed with the precious goal of building a larger yacht, encapsulating elegance and functionality, to give long-range cruising an unmistakable style that fully expresses the essence. With its sporty lines designed by Francesco Paszkowski and the luminous interior design by Margherita Casprini, T580 is a super yacht created with the result of a fruitful teamwork between the owner, designers and shipyard.  Tankoa T580 shines bright with its spacious aft beach club, enriched by fold-down bulkheads and a spa with massage room. With its generous seating area and treatment room with a glass wall that allows light to flood in when the two side terraces are lowered, it is a gem in the spotlight. But the sparkle is not yet over. T580 boasts a master suite and five guest cabins, directly connected to the beach area thanks to a unique feature, just as the owner wanted: an impressive panoramic corridor on the lower deck, which passes through an open engine room to fulfil the owner’s and his guests’ passion for engineering.  Emphasising the interplay of architectural forms, extensive wood applications, and a neutral colour palette, this custom Tankoa spaces welcome you in timeless harmony. A selection of high-quality materials, including leather, metal, and glass, further enriches the decor. But that’s not all. Nearly all the onboard furniture was custom designed, including coffee tables in the living spaces, the owner’s suite and the beach club lounge, as well as the owner’s office desk and galley counter.

One Injured as Yacht and Rib Collide Near Ischia Island

One person was injured as a yacht reported to be over twenty meters in length and a rib-cruiser of twelve meters collided near the Castello Aragonesi area on the island of Ischia, on the morning of Monday 29 June.   The Guardia Costiera of Ischia and Port Captaincy responded to the accident, taking the injured boater to Ischia island to be assisted by the 118 emergency crew.  Following this the coast guard also towed the rib-cruiser which seemed to be the one suffering the most from the collusion.  The cause of the accident are not fully reported, with some news reporting that the yacht crushed the rib on the collision, damaging it heavily on its port side.

The rib-cruiser in this accident is a Solemar 44 Oceanic as produced in the noughties.  We have no news of the yacht involved in the collision.

New Model: Custom Line 35 Navetta

The first Custom Line Navetta 35 yacht was launched on May 28 at the Ferretti Group Superyacht Yard in Ancona, during a ceremony attended by the shipyard’s senior management, the owner’s representative, the captain, the surveyor and the employees of both Custom Line and the outside contractors involved, who celebrated the event with great satisfaction and enthusiasm. Also present at the launch were the architects who collaborated on the project, Filippo Salvetti and Chiara Massarani of ACPV Architects. The distinctive features that ensure a unique and engaging cruising experience for the owner and his guests include: the almost transparent naval architecture, which puts the sea at the centre of the on-board experience; the fluid interconnection between interiors and exteriors, which amplifies the pleasure of conviviality; and the sophisticated combinations of elegance and comfort, evident in all the yacht’s settings. The launch of the first Custom Line Navetta 35 consolidates the brand’s strategic positioning in the displacement segment under 270 GT, strengthening the synergy between innovative design and masterful craftsmanship that has defined Custom Line’s identity right from the outset. Confirming the strong interest generated by the project, the model had already recorded sales of three units before the launch of its first hull. With a length of 34 meters this yacht is the result of collaboration between the Strategic Product Committee and the Ferretti Group Engineering Department, with strategic consulting provided by Custom Line Atelier, which curated the definition and development of the interior styling to reflect the owner’s own aesthetic tastes. With exterior styling by architect Filippo Salvetti and interior architecture by ACPV ARCHITECTS Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel, the new made-to-measure yacht embodies the values of high-quality Italian craftsmanship, functional design, technological innovation and refined beauty that have been an integral part of the brand’s bespoke DNA from the outset. Extending across three decks, the layout of Custom Line Navetta 35 offers a contemporary take on life at sea, with generous functional spaces devoted to convivial living and the well-being of the owner family and their guests. With over 300 square metres of indoor and outdoor space, the settings alternate between areas designed for socialising and others for relaxation, complemented by comfy freestanding furniture and flexible layouts that encourage social interaction. The yacht can accommodate up to ten guests in five cabins – a master suite on the main deck and four guest cabins on the lower deck – while ensuring that guest and crew flows are both private and functional. The exterior design of Custom Line Navetta 35 stands out for its understated, harmonious style, featuring sculptural surfaces, balanced volumes and clean lines that produce a contemporary, dynamic silhouette. The interiors are designed to enhance the sense of space and showcase the ever-present dialogue with marine environment, thanks to the extensive use of full-height windows and the almost transparent naval architecture, designed to let natural light flood in from stern to bow and on every side. The innovative staircase is part of this effort, designed to ensure maximum privacy and blend discreetly into the interior design. The fact that there is no external staircase aft on the main deck helps create the ultimate flexible space, turning the cockpit into the yacht’s social hub. The interior design language features soft volumes, organic geometries and custom-made freestanding furniture designed by Antonio Citterio, raised off the floor so that it seems almost to float in space. In line with this bespoke vision and aesthetic, for the first Custom Line Navetta 35, ACPV developed the Light Mood based on the owner’s wishes: a concept featuring ivory, beige and caramel colourways that runs through the settings, giving them more depth, luminosity and lightness. This pursuit of balance is also reflected in the choice of materials: vibrant Pietra di Vicenza stone, pale wood floors and sand-coloured leather used for upholstery and detailing come together to create a warm and refined atmosphere. The result is a sophisticated and immersive cruising experience, in which light, materials and transparency blur the boundaries between inside and outside, transforming every space into a prime vantage point overlooking the sea.
