TYKUN XII combines an aluminium platform with configurable guest spaces, positioning the tender for transfers, independent outings and time spent aboard.
TYKUN XII develops the Italian brand’s approach to a tender that can serve more than one role. Alongside superyacht transfers, its proposition includes use as a chase boat and a compact cruiser.
An Aluminium Foundation
The manufacturer specifies a marine-grade 5083 aluminium hull and describes construction without moulds, giving owners scope to customise the boat. Its reduced-section fender arrangement is intended to preserve usable deck width.
The current product page advertises speeds above 50 knots, subject to configuration and the manufacturer’s stated conditions. That figure should be read as a published specification rather than an independent sea-trial result.
More Flexibility on Board
Listed features and options include a cabin and bathroom within the console, a carbon hardtop, a retractable table and an opening side terrace. Together, these arrangements extend the brief beyond moving guests between yacht and shore.
Royal Yacht International presents the model for sale as a high-performance tender, chase boat or weekend cruiser, reflecting the range of roles envisaged for the platform.
