Tankoa Yachts, in partnership with the renowned Luca Dini Design & Architecture, has unveiled the Tankoa 55 C115, a striking 55-metre superyacht that redefines bespoke craftsmanship and visionary design. This second hull in Tankoa’s celebrated series stands out as a masterpiece tailored to the refined tastes of its discerning owner, merging innovation with timeless elegance.
Designed entirely by Luca Dini, both inside and out, the C115 is an evolution of the successful 55-metre platform. The yacht embodies a design philosophy that balances contemporary sophistication with enduring style. From the outset, it was conceived as a bold yet graceful presence on the water, reflecting the signature aesthetic of the Florence-based studio.
Sculpted Lines and Strong Presence
The yacht’s exterior showcases flowing, sculpted volumes and a carefully calibrated sense of proportion. The result is a contemporary vessel that commands attention while maintaining the formal purity and elegance that define Luca Dini’s work.
Luca Dini, the studio’s founder and creative director, explained the design goals: “With the C115, we aimed to amplify the personality of the Tankoa 55. We sought fluidity and character, while preserving the quiet strength central to our design approach. The outcome is a yacht that is both visually dynamic and emotionally engaging.”
Interior: A Light-Filled Sanctuary
Inside, the Tankoa 55 C115 offers interiors designed for timeless modernity and functional comfort. Luca Dini Design & Architecture created each space as a sanctuary of understated luxury, focusing on refined elegance over ostentation.
Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the interiors with natural light, enhancing spatial volume and creating a seamless connection with the surrounding marine environment. The yacht’s design embraces the Mediterranean cruising grounds, allowing breathtaking seascapes to become part of the onboard experience. This blend of indoor and outdoor living reflects a growing trend among superyacht owners seeking harmony with nature.
Versatility and Owner Experience
The yacht features a spacious owner’s suite with panoramic views and luxury amenities, multiple outdoor lounges for alfresco relaxation and entertainment, a sun deck complete with a swimming pool, and generous guest accommodations that balance privacy with sociability.
Designed for versatility, the C115 is equally suited to intimate private voyages or the luxury charter market, offering owners flexibility and maximizing their investment’s potential.
Proven Platform, Unique Identity
As the second hull in the Tankoa 55 series, the C115 benefits from a proven naval architecture and engineering platform noted for reliability and performance. Yet it expresses a unique identity, a testament to the custom nature of the build and the creative vision behind it.
This customization allows for an optimized build process while delivering a yacht deeply personal to its owner—highlighting the flexibility modern clients demand and that Tankoa, together with Luca Dini, delivers.
