Tankoa Yachts has just released the photoshoot of the interior design of its striking 50m superyacht Olokun.

First look: Interior design of Tankoa Yachts’ 50m Olokun

Since launching in 2018, the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Camper & Nicholsons International (Company)">Camper &amp; Nicholsons</a> New Build Division has gone from strength to strength.

The launch of the dedicated division was not just about company expansion, however. As <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Camper & Nicholsons International (Company)">Camper &amp; Nicholsons</a> CEO Paolo Casani says, 'it’s about survival in a changing brokerage landscape'. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/197122/image/large-1a38befa3a08257a96741249a4338e96.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/197122">An evolving brokerage marketOffering custom new build clients project management and representation throughout all stages of the sale and construction process is integral to surviving in the evolving brokerage market, says Casani. “I believe that it’s high time, if not even late, for brokerage companies to evolve from a business model that may have worked 20 or 30 years ago but doesn’t work anymore,” he states. “The brokerage industry is going to significantly change in the future. In fact, we can already see some of these changes today. Those who adapt their approach will have the advantage, and that’s why we have made changes within our organisation.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/197124/image/large-59420d6ae06991550cf379e331aaace7.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/197124">With the dedicated New Build Division utilising decades of industry experience to assist owners from project inception to delivery, it’s clear that working with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Camper & Nicholsons International (Company)">Camper &amp; Nicholsons</a> certainly has its advantages. What’s more, clients can also utilise the entire range of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Camper & Nicholsons International (Company)">C&amp;N</a>’s services for a hassle-free ownership experience. “After delivery, we continue to support the owner in yacht management – from accounting to onboard safety procedures, from crew placement and management to payroll. We also offer insurance services, or if the yacht is commercial, charter marketing and management. What we’re doing is offering our clients the entire package for as efficient and cost-effective ownership experience as possible.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/35012/image/large-cd892c52a79afd0ea8e3607016d1dd2e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/35012">In response to a growing market and the evolving needs of yacht owners, Casani also notes that owners are increasingly using representatives and Family Offices as an intermediary. “We see more and more superyachts being treated as a business,” he says. “So now rather than directly dealing with owners, we are now speaking with owner representatives and family offices and having to create new relationships with them. It’s a different relationship to what you would normally have with an owner – it’s more about business. So, therefore, showing the company as a whole, and what we can do, is increasingly important.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/197126/image/large-967642efb2ff59076ac9697beea44d65.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/197126">“All of our current projects are really exciting because we are building something unique for the owner,” Casani concludes as he discusses the yachts currently under construction with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Camper & Nicholsons International (Company)">C&amp;N</a>. “Every yacht is different.

The owner’s suite is also completed by a private study that can be converted into an extra ensuite cabin. Her distinctive black hull and metallic grey superstructure were created with a high-performance coating that reduces the temperature of the metal hull by up to 10°C.“S501 hull number three was started on spec and the owner came into the project quite late during construction, but as a boutique shipyard we wanted to offer him maximum flexibility to tailor the yacht to his personal needs,” says Vincenzo Poerio, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1661" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tankoa Yachts S.p.A.

It meant cutting a hole in the bulkhead and re-routing all the wiring so his private office could be converted into a cabin. We wanted to deliver a finished product that surpasses expectations and the end result is spectacular,” concludes Poerio.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/175019/image/large-f195f863a6f587bb60638369c54b3940.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/175019"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7422" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Olokun49.99m (164'0&quot;)Tankoa Yachts S.p.A.2020">Olokun</a> has a semi-displacement hull combined with conventional diesel propulsion for a top speed of 17.5 knots and a cruising speed of 14 knots.
