Genoa, Italy - January 20, 2025 Signed in 2021 and delivered in the summer of 2024, Diamond Binta is the latest triumph from Tankoa Yachts, an exquisite fusion of innovation, elegance, and bespoke craftsmanship. Unveiled at the 2024 Monaco Yacht Show, this 58-metre full-custom superyacht embodies the shipyard’s commitment to delivering unique, owner-focused designs.

Designed for a returning client, who previously owned the 50-meter S501 Binta d’Or, Diamond Binta was envisioned as a larger, long-range yacht with a distinctive style that reflects the owner’s personality. The project once again saw Francesco Paszkowski Design—with Margherita Casprini for the interiors—craft a timeless, understated, and sophisticated design that seamlessly blends form and function.

A Vision of Refinement & Innovation

🔹 Specifications:

• Length Overall: 58 meters

Tankoa Yachts CEO Vincenzo Poerio describes Diamond Binta as a testament to the shipyard’s craftsmanship, engineering expertise, and boutique approach. “She perfectly showcases why discerning owners choose to stay within the Tankoa family as their ambitions evolve.”
