YACHTS & YACHTING
“ In order to bring the owners requirements to a reality , we transformed the beach club space to create the hammam and also converted the tender garage into a lounge where the owners would find additional space for relaxation ,” says Rodriguez . “ By doing this we were able to not just meet but also exceed the owner ’ s expectations .
The owner further requested the main salon to be as large as possible , which is why it was decided to move the dining room to the upper deck , where there are two dining tables , one interior and one on the open aft deck , which can both seat a full complement of guests .
“ As we already know from experience , the interiors of yachts are often quite small and we always suggest to the owners to create open environments where they can enjoy the view and the interiors at the same time ,” says Rodriguez . “ We focused on making the entire interior of the yacht convey a sense of residential life by reflecting the exterior and transforming the interior into a complete nautical experience .”
Tankoa ’ s 50-metre platform has been progressively fine-tuned with each new launch , both technically and aesthetically . Olokun has a semi-displacement hull with conventional diesel propulsion ( 2 x MTU 8V4000 M54 engines ) for a top speed of 17.5 knots and a cruising speed of 14 knots . At an economical 11 knots she has an oceanic range of 4,500 nautical miles .
Currently Tankoa is building 3 units of the same series , the S501 . Two already sold and ready to be launched in 2022 and one on speculation .
