Tankoa New Web Site

Italian super yacht builder Tankoa presents its new web site.  Tankoa which means Scorpio in Genoese dialect was founded in 2007 by Giuseppe Orsi and his best friend, with the presidency of the company moving to Orsi sons, from Guido who was the President at founding to his sister Eva who took over Presidency since 2018.  Tankoa's main founder Giuseppe Orsi started his career as an engineer, becoming a businessman, and corporate executive taking over the helm of Finmeccanica in 2011.  But Orsi is also a passionate yacht owner, having entered yachting with the ownership of various super yachts, and from 1996 up to 2004 was also part-owner of Baglietto shipyard.  The construction of the first Tankoa hull number C101, a super yacht as designed by Francesco Paszkowski started life in 2008 as a 65 meter project, it was delayed for the Global Financial Crisis which hit the world economies at the end of that year.  Eventually Tankoa C101 will be updated to a 69 meter in 2013 and launched in June 2015.  Tankoa is located since its founding at Sestri Ponente in the center of Genoa's seven nautical miles break water protected harbour, next to Genoa's Christopher Columbus airport.  In December 2023 Tankoa took a lease agreement for the former Privilege super yacht yard in Civitavecchia which went bankrupt in 2015, increasing both production capacity and the possibility to build larger mega and giga yachts. Tankoa's aim has always been to be a boutique super yacht builder, with a business core in both custom and semi-custom builds, although the success seems more coming from the later, with ten of the yachts delivered coming from the semi-custom series yachts.  Tankoa has to date build fifteen super yachts from 45 up to 72 meters, with eleven yachts from 45 to 72 meters currently under construction.  Tankoa new website takes you around with the following buttons; Essence, Shipyard, Yachts, News, and Contacts.  Tankoa is also on social media with bottom right buttons taking you to its; Instagram, Facebook, and Linkedin pages.
