MED Group enters luxury yachting sector

Italian shipbuilder MED Group has expanded into the luxury yachting sector with the launch of three performance chase boat models under its new TYKUN brand.

The Cervia-based shipyard has around 30 years’ of experience in designing boats for the defence sectors and has incorporated the experience gained by its MED Defence division in the new tenders.

Crafted in collaboration with architect Tommaso Spadolini and available in 8.5, 10.5 and 12.5-metre sizes, the chase boats blend aesthetics with the latest technology.

The tenders are constructed from durable and lightweight aluminium, enabling bespoke builds and simplifying structural modifications at any stage, whether during construction or during the vessel’s life.

The chase boats can also be customised in terms of layout, colours, fabrics and finishes.

These boats combine the power and grit of a military vessel with the elegance and comfort of a superyacht tender.

“We know that owners will appreciate the flexibility of the design and layout, meaning they can create their perfect pleasure boat, which is enjoyable and easy to handle, no matter the conditions,” explained Tommaso.

Marco Galimberti, MED Group CEO, added: “Building on our years of experience creating vessels for the defence sector at MED Group, we are very excited to showcase TYKUN to the market.

“Created with the quality of a superyacht, to the very demanding standards of military vessels, these boats combine the power and grit of a military vessel with the elegance and comfort of a superyacht tender.”

Expansion

Currently employing 60 skilled workers at its Cervia shipyard, MED Group is preparing for growth with plans to relocate to a larger facility and further expand its workforce in 2026.

The first unit of the 10.5-metre TYKUN models will be debuted at the 2025 Monaco Yacht Show taking place from 24–27 September.

The first of the largest models in the new range, the 12.5-metre chase boat, has been ordered and is expected to launch in 2026.

The tenders are able to reach speeds of over 55 knots.
