Superyacht tender builder TYKUN has unveiled a 12.7-metre, 50 plus knot chase boat and weekender.
The TYKUN XII is currently under construction in Italy and will be launched at the Monaco Yacht Show in September 2026.
The TYKUN XII has an all-aluminium hull, flexible layouts and a range of customisation options.
Design and layouts are by superyacht designer Tommaso Spadolini and opinion maker Benedetta Iovane, aka The Luxury Yacht Lady and head of commercial and brand.
“The TYKUN XII not only represents our new flagship, but fully embodies our DNA,” said Iovane.
“Careful material selection and meticulous attention to every construction detail result in a truly distinctive on-board experience.”
Two core versions
The TYKUN XII will be offered in two core versions, Open and Closed.
The Open version features a similar layout to the TYKUN X, with a central helm area and bar counter under the hardtop and an adaptable seating/sunpad arrangement aft.
The Closed version has the helm and bar area under the hardtop offering different layout options including a bench settee and dinette.
Alternative layouts are offered for the rest of the deck areas, including a ‘high bow’ version with a sunpad forward and a ‘low bow’ variant featuring a forward cockpit with seating and a table.
Aft, the Open version offers multiple configurations.
Perfect evolution of the range
The hull form includes a stepped design for high-speed running, a hybrid fender and a raised bow profile.
The TYKUN XII is powered by twin outboards ranging from 400hp to 600hp and twin fuel tanks can be specified up to 600 litres each, alongside the option for an extended water tank capacity of 300 litres.
“The TYKUN XII takes the same mindset as the TYKUN X and applies it to a vessel that not only offers proven high performance, manoeuvrability, reliability and safety, but also enables longer stays on board, greater range, and extended cruising seasons, particularly in the Closed version,” explained Marco Galimberti, CEO of MED Group of which TYKUN is a brand.
“The TYKUN XII represents the perfect evolution of the range – more volume, greater comfort and increased autonomy compared to the TYKUN X, without losing its racing DNA and military-grade reliability.”
The new tender will be distributed worldwide by Monaco-based brokerage house Royal Yacht International.
