Circulation onboard was to be made easy by wide passages and crew was to be able to perform their tasks without interfering with guests privacy.
Exterior details
Guests will be able to board the yacht either from the swimming platform, via the lateral tender garages, by the gangway or the hydraulic Royal ladder. When boarding from the platform, they will access the interior walking trough the magnificent “Beach Club” equipped with saloon, large TV screen, bar, day head, shower, massage room, sauna and hammam, both with direct access to the sea, thanks to their fold out terraces.

The fore part of this deck is devoted to the owner’s private terrace with direct side access from his suite. He enjoys a 6 meters long sofa with its own built-in refrigerator and a four people Jacuzzi surrounded by sun-pads. The position of this terrace offers total privacy considering the set back of the wheelhouse on the top deck and the lower position of the fore-pick.
The sun-deck, aft of the top deck, is another great social area with a touch-and-go helipad which is large enough for a twin turbine helicopter such as an Augusta 109 to bring guests onboard. At night, the heli-deck becomes a dance floor with lights, speakers and a DJ station.

Interiors details
MY/ Suerte Tankoa S693 has been designed by Francesco Paszkowski in collaboration with Margherita Casprini and engineered to offer the utmost comfort. From the aft deck, access to the interior is not made by usual aft automatic sliding doors – that constantly opens and closes when people are moving on the aft deck – but through lateral sliding glass doors.
The main saloon the owner wanted to be actually a true family/TV room. The U shaped sofa is surmounted by a library. Including the armchairs, over 16 people will be able to watch latest blockbusters on the 88 inches curve screen 4K recessed in a black stone wall. Further to the front, the 16 people dining table is centrally located and benefits huge floor to ceiling windows too. On the saloon side, the partition wall is highlighted with a fish tank while the fore bulkhead is a giant wine display created by Paszkowski.
The main deck is devoted to guest accommodations. Four guest cabins and a full width VIP suite which are designed in a very zen style will enjoy total silence compared to usual lower deck located guests cabins. Each cabin, considering their main deck position, are flooded by natural light, thanks to oversized windows instead of conventional portholes. Decoration is a mixture of washed teak, elegant Chinese lacquered ceilings, black piano lacquered details and black marble with some touches of rich leather upholstery.
The lower deck is entirely devoted to crew members who are benefiting particular attention to volume and ease of work including TV room, rest area and crew mess.
The upper deck is basically divided in two sections. The fore part is entirely devoted to the owner’s apartment with study/library, bathroom with his and her toilets.

On port side, there is a Sushi Bar with stools and two restaurant styled round tables.
