Tankoa Yachts showcases the Enrico Gobbi designed T520 Fenice - the diminutive counterpart to the T680.

Like the T680, the T520 Fenice embodies sophistication, featuring a central motif of her enduring lines inspired by modern classic yacht architecture, infused with touches of car and plane design. The brilliance is found not just in the fusion of these aspects but also in the balance of scale, where the interior and exterior form a unified design and where captivating areas – like the creative guest space at the back – appear naturally from her slender and alluring shape.

The T520 Fenice’s stern area is particularly notable for its varied, interconnected spaces, thoughtfully arranged at different heights to mirror their unique purposes. An expansive cockpit offers sweeping views over an infinity pool, with two ample sun loungers at the back. A stream runs through the pool, connecting it to the beach club below, which can be reached via optional stairs from the cockpit to the pool. This design strategy creates a captivating three-dimensional effect, linking the cockpit, beach club, swimming platform, and even the lower-deck gym. With its view of the water feature, the gym serves as a flexible space for relaxation, enhanced by an interior lounge and a digital sculpture inspired by the movement of water.

The rest of the design is equally appealing, from the expansive sundeck – featuring a semi-enclosed glass saloon under the mast for dining and bar, with the option for a forward spa pool or observation cockpit and aft seating and sun pads – to the large foredeck lounge with a pool, or the upper deck’s outdoor dining area for 12, and a relaxing lounge area. The upper saloon is enhanced by a fifth VIP guest bedroom behind the bridge, with the captain’s cabin also situated on this deck to uphold the highest standards of seamanship. Moving down, the aft saloon and formal dining area lead forward past the guest lobby to a spacious full-beam owner’s suite complete with a study area, a large main cabin with a private terrace to starboard, and a forward full-beam ensuite that can be adapted in various configurations – another aspect of Tankoa’s unique approach to construction.

The lower deck features four opulent guest double cabins amidships, all with ensuite facilities, and the forward ship houses the crew. The forward garage under the foredeck accommodates a 6.5-meter guest tender, crew tender, and water toys. The aft beach club and gym, with sauna facilities, have two opening hull side hatches to improve the view and bring the outdoors in. Choosing the transverse stair option from the aft deck leads to an additional charming sunken cockpit lounge at the entrance to the beach club.
