Tankoa Yachts debuted the new S702 NEXT 70 luxury yacht concept at a press conference on the second day of the Monaco Yacht Show 2019, attended by representatives of CharterWorld.
Following on from the success of 69.3m/227ft superyacht SUERTE and 72m/236ft luxury yacht SOLO, Tankoa Yachts has created a stunning new 70m/229.6ft project in conjunction with Francesco Paszkowski that features a vertical bow and seamless curves between the hull and superstructure. Three different superstructure profiles are available for Owners to personalise their craft.
Design details incorporate fairleads and half-moon shapes as well as a black V-pattern on the hardtop and black chine in the bow that are a strong element of the Tankoa Yachts design philosophy.
“Building on the success of SUERTE and SOLO, this new 70-metre design incorporates the distinctive brand features of Tankoa and combines them with new solutions,” says Francesco Paszkowski. “The aim has been to develop a yacht with innovative stylistic and technical features that will confirm Tankoa’s status at the forefront of the superyacht sector.”
The shipyard emphasised their mission of quality over quantity and the privacy of the Owners, and this is translated into life on board: The Owner’s suite of 50m²/1614ft² has a private gym and side terraces and is placed across two decks with direct private access available between the main deck and upper deck.
The clever design stores the tenders beneath the foredeck helipad, creating room in the stern for a massive beach club containing a hammam and sauna. Two swimming pools are also incorporated into the social spaces and can be found on the main deck aft and the upper deck forward. Instead of a sky lounge on the upper deck, there are two VIP staterooms. Two additional VIP staterooms are placed on the main deck aft and two more guest suites are available on the lower deck.
A pair of Caterpillar 3516 B DITA-SCAC HD engines will provide a top speed of 17 knots, a cruising speed of 16 knots and a range of 12 nautical miles.
Also on display from Tankoa Yachts was 49.9m/163.8ft M/Y BINTADOR, which features a hybrid propulsion package on the request of her Owner. Her ambient modern surroundings are fitted with a sundeck Jacuzzi, side terraces off the Master suite and well-proportioned accommodation for all guests for a yacht in her size category.
Tankoa Yachts is currently constructing two luxury yachts at 50m/164ft in length, sisterships to M/Y VERTIGE. A third hull will be launched in 2020 and a fourth in 2021.
