This New Superyacht Line Wants You to Feel Like You’re Cruising in a Sports Car

There is no shortage of automotive-inspired yachts on the market—take the Tecnomar Lamborghini 63, the Candela C-8 Polestar, and the Brabus Shadow 900 for starters—but that hasn’t stopped Tribale Yachts from diving into vehicular designs.

The Italian shipyard has unveiled a new superyacht line inspired by “the world of high-performance sports cars.” Aptly christened Gran Turismo, the range will include four sleek vessels that combine athleticism with sophisticated design.

“Designed for discerning owners who seek a perfect balance of speed, comfort, and elegance, the Gran Turismo series promises to redefine the boundaries of modern yachting,” Tribale said in a statement.

The first model, which is already under construction at Tribale’s yard in Pisa, Italy, spans 120 feet from pointed bow to sculpted stern. Penned by designer Michele Dragoni, the 120 Gran Turismo will be topped with an aluminum superstructure to ensure it is light on the water and quick to build. The vessel will also feature a raised pilothouse that provides “optimal visibility and control at high speeds,” according to Tribale.

The 120 Gran Turismo can soar across the seas like a GT, too. The yacht can be powered by twin MAN V-12 engines capable of churning out 2,000 hp or two Cat C32 engines with 1,790 kW of grunt. Every detail has been designed to enhance speed, handling, and efficiency, according to the yard.

The yacht offers way more space than the average GT, though. The sprawling interior can be outfitted with five or six generous cabins for 10 or 12 guests and three cabins for six crew. The scenic owner’s suite occupies a prime position on the main deck, while the guest cabins are spread across the lower deck and the crew quarters are positioned in the bow. Every space has been meticulously crafted with the finest materials and attention to detail, Tribale says. Other highlights include a plush sundeck and a sizable swim platform.

Tribale’s lineup currently comprises four catamaran models, three crossovers, and two explorers. Work on the flagship, Tribale 165 Explorer is due to commence later this year. The yard also has a new Essence range in the pipeline, with three models of 45, 83, and 123 feet “coming soon.”
