Monte Carlo, Monaco — 23 September 2026 · world premiere at the Monaco Yacht Show.

A 52-metre (171-foot) full-custom Tankoa built around wellbeing, drawn by Philippe Briand's Vitruvius studio, making her world premiere at Port Hercule.

One of two Tankoa world premieres

Tankoa says it returns to the Monaco Yacht Show with two world premieres: the 45-metre (148-foot) T450 Singolare and the 52-metre (171-foot) full-custom Spirit. The yard frames the pair as shaped around very different owner visions, and as evidence of its hands-on, boutique approach to highly individual projects.

A 52-metre built around wellbeing

Spirit is a 52-metre full-custom yacht centred on wellbeing, designed by Vitruvius Yacht Design under Philippe Briand with interiors by FM Architettura. A full-beam gymnasium opens onto an aft terrace with a plunge pool, and she carries six guest cabins. A full-hybrid propulsion system gives a cruising speed of 15 knots.

Launched at Genoa in July

Tankoa launched Spirit on 11 July 2026, calling her a fully custom project built to bring one owner's vision to life. Vitruvius Yacht Design — Philippe Briand and Veerle Battiau — drew her, with interiors by FM Architettura. The yard describes quiet sophistication: natural light, generous volumes, understated detailing.

One owner at a time

Tankoa calls this its boutique philosophy — turning each owner's vision into a yacht built around uniqueness rather than a series.
