The Tankoa S501 is a 50-metre aluminium superyacht that has established itself as one of the most compelling propositions in the sub-500 GT segment. Built at Tankoa’s facility in Genova, the S501 combines Italian design flair with the efficiency and performance advantages of full aluminium construction.
Powered by twin MTU diesel engines producing 2,000 horsepower each, the S501 reaches 18 knots and cruises at 12 knots. With a displacement of 499 GT, she sits just below the regulatory threshold, simplifying operations and crewing while delivering the space and comfort of a much larger yacht. Her range of 4,000 nautical miles provides genuine ocean-crossing capability.
Exterior design by Francesco Paszkowski creates a clean, modern profile with balanced proportions and generous outdoor areas across three decks. Five staterooms accommodate ten guests, attended by a crew of nine. The S501 has proven Tankoa’s most successful platform, with multiple hulls delivered to owners worldwide who value the combination of Italian craftsmanship, competitive pricing, and a yard that consistently delivers on time and on specification.
