Tankoa Yachts, based in Genoa, Italy, has launched M/Y Rilassata, the latest addition to its 50-meter all-aluminum series designed by Francesco Paszkowski. This launch marks the sixth hull in the acclaimed S501 series and the second in the newly improved S501 EVO lineup.

The S501 series underwent a restyling last year, debuting the EVO version with M/Y Grey at the Monaco Yacht Show 2023. Rilassata features several enhancements, including an open-plan saloon and dining area with larger windows, an extended fly deck, and increased exterior space to foster a closer connection to the sea.

Distinctive for its beach-beige livery, Rilassata's interior design was crafted by Paszkowski in collaboration with Margherita Casprini. Differing from its predecessor, Rilassata includes a master stateroom on the upper deck, exclusively for the owner's private use, with the captain's cabin on the main deck. The main deck forward also features a gym and games room with an opening balcony. Guest accommodations consist of four ensuite cabins on the lower deck.

"The S501 series has proven tremendously popular with our international clients," stated Giuseppe Mazza, Tankoa's Sales Manager. "This success is largely due to our flexibility in accommodating customer requests, even with a series model, which is evident in Rilassata’s unique interior layout."

Rilassata is set for delivery to her French owners in July, just in time for the summer cruising season in the Mediterranean. This latest launch reinforces Tankoa Yachts' reputation for combining innovative design with customer-centric customization.
Tankoa was founded in 2007 and began production in 2008. A true “boutique shipyard”, focused on building semi-custom and custom constructions 45-meter and up.
