Tankoa launches a fully custom 170-foot wellness superyacht
Tankoa launches fully custom 170-foot superyacht Spirit from its Genoa shipyard, a T52 Vitruvius built around wellness, privacy, and sea views. The beach club pairs a gym and spa with an aft terrace, plunge pool, and fold-down platforms. Delivery follows final construction and sea trials later this year. The boutique Italian builder christened the vessel earlier in July, marking one of its most personalized projects to date.

What makes Spirit's beach club different?
Most superyacht beach clubs are lounges first. On Spirit, wellness leads. The space houses a gym and spa that open directly onto a dedicated aft terrace, giving guests room to train or unwind with the water in view.
Fold-down side platforms on the stern expand the usable deck area at anchor. A plunge pool sits nearby, linking exercise, relaxation, and direct access to the sea in one continuous zone.
Who designed Tankoa's new wellness superyacht?
Tankoa tapped London-based Vitruvius Yacht Design for naval architecture and exterior styling on the T52 Vitruvius series vessel. Italian studio FM Architettura shaped the interiors around natural light, soft textures, and natural materials intended to feel like calm oases at sea.
Panoramic glazing runs through the design. A glazed stern door with fixed glass panels and full-height side windows keeps sightlines open whether Spirit is underway or at rest.
How fast can the 170-foot Spirit go?
Spirit reaches a top speed of 17 knots and cruises comfortably at 15 knots. Power comes from a fully hybrid propulsion system combining conventional engines with electric motors and batteries.
Tankoa also completed an extensive optimization study covering hull details, weight distribution, and other efficiency factors. Yard chief Vincenzo Poerio said Spirit demonstrates Tankoa's ability to turn an ambitious, highly bespoke owner vision into reality through craftsmanship and close collaboration.
When will Spirit be delivered to its owner?
After launch, Tankoa will finish the final construction phase before moving Spirit into sea trials and testing. The yard expects to hand the yacht to its owner later this year.
Spirit sleeps up to 12 guests across six cabins, with quarters for nine crew in five cabins. For more on floating luxury homes and bespoke builds, browse our Luxury Real Estate & Dream Homes coverage. Full launch details are available from Robb Report.
