Blending military grit with superyacht style, the Tykun X is a 55-knot custom chase boat that’s as practical as it is high-performance
Here’s a boat that treads a lovely line between the rugged and the refined. Designed on the basis of extensive experience in the military sector from Italian parent company, MED Group, the Tykun X is a custom-built 10m chase boat with serious performance.
In addition to a wide cruising range from 25 and 40 knots, it has a claimed top speed of 55 knots thanks to a pair of 400hp, Mercury outboards.
The proven commercial hull is said to deliver composed handling and in spite of its superyacht chase boat styling, it looks impressively workmanlike too. The single-level walkaround decks, elevated freeboard, closed transom, thick foam rubbing strake, reverse screen and optional canvasses for enclosing the helm add a welcome dose of practicality.
The Tykun combines military underpinnings with superyacht calibre style and finish
On board leisure is also well catered for. The drop-down bulwarks are present and correct and, while the cockpit is fully configurable, the first model’s twin convertible C-shaped sofa layout looks like a brilliantly sociable set up.
There’s also storage under the rear sofa, which could be used for Seabobs and other toys or towables, plus a large customisable wet bar, a generous forward sun pad and a bow cabin with heads and V-berth. As an alternative to a big RIB or sportsboat, it makes a lot of sense.
