This New 180-Foot Superyacht Has an Underwater Window That Lets You See the Fish Below

Among the many global premieres at this week’s Monaco Yacht Show, Tankoa’s Loewe stands out for packing the features of a much larger vessel into a 180-foot hull. Loewe features a generous beach club, six cabins, three pools, an elevator, and a gym. Plus, pioneering inserts like the Nemo window, a transparent area below the waterline where guests can watch marine life flicker past the hull. The yacht was also built to be under 500 gross tonnes, an important number since it allows for less stringent safety regulations, crew requirements and flagging options. “This is one of the few 55 metres under 500 GT,” says Luca Dini, whose design team was responsible for Loewe‘s exterior and interior. “That number is a stargate between a boat that you can manage without any problem”—and the logistical hassle associated with a yacht classified above that weight. “The result is the maximum experience for your tonnage,” he told Robb Report. Loewe’s fluid, automotive exterior also creates a unique impression on the bustling docks in Port Hercule. Among the fleet of superyachts in the harbor, Loewe lives up the cliché of looking fast while sitting still. “In Italian, ‘Sportiva’, means sporty,” says Dini, whose team used multiple design flourishes to ensure the vessel lived up to the name. The forward-facing architecture is crowned by a sundeck, for instance, and framed by a semi-circular Jacuzzi. To preserve the svelte look, rather than appearing boxy, the floor-to-ceiling glass panels on the upper deck are subtly kinked to maintain the racing lines. Bringing in the ocean with full-length windows is central to the Sportiva’s DNA. Sea views pour into the main deck too, where a silvery metal ceiling ripples with the tactility of lapping waves. On the main deck is the owners’ cabin. It’s more Ritz-Carlton suite than stateroom. Curvaceous Corian frames the bathroom, while the asymmetric layout makes a bold statement: one flank opens to panoramic glass, the other to a private terrace with yet another Jacuzzi. In the competitive 45m–55m sector, Loewe pushes the envelope. The big wow, however, is at the rear of the boat. Loewe boasts a vast, two-tiered pool and party terrace, which sits almost flush with the sea. The mix of full-height glazing and open-plan architecture dissolves the boundary between inside and out. “With this boat there is a complete synergy,” says Dini. The palette of whites, greys, and blacks maintain a cohesive color scheme, while there is no juxtaposition between interior and exterior. In the Italian designer’s words: “You cannot buy a Ferrari with the interior of a Rolls-Royce.” Instead, Loewe is part of what has become Tankoa’s operating philosophy: Every launch has a custom interior. “We like challenges,” says Guido Orsi, Vice President of Tankoa Yachts. “If not, we wouldn’t have seven designers [including yachting’s star names such as Philippe Briand and Giorgio Cassetta] which we are working with on different models.” Loewe is a major evolution from the first T55 hull, the five-cabined Rose. “It is a different design that shows the range of the Sportiva series,” Vincenzo Poerio, Tankoa CEO, told Robb Report. “That’s because it was designed for the charter market.” Ocean Independence, which handles the charter listing, touts its multiple family-friendly spaces: a gym, hammam, and foredeck entertainment zone. Of course, the real differentiator is the Nemo window: Guests could sip an Aperol spritz in, say Sardinia, while rainbow wrasse perform a private ballet, or watch dolphins frolic in the Caribbean. “To have this window in the hull ten years ago was impossible,” says Dini. “But we started with a mission to create a 55 meter that is very smart, playing with the volumes, the exterior lines, and the hull.” Sportiva by name and sporty by nature, the innovative design known as Loewe is shooting to be a charter star. ## Implicazioni per i Collezionisti di Asset di Lusso Questo sviluppo del mercato evidenzia l'importanza crescente della **gestione digitale degli asset di lusso**.
