Law firm Stephenson Harwood LLP has advised a longstanding private client on the sale of 'Bintador', a 50 metre Tankoa Boat International award winning motor yacht.
The team was originally involved in the construction, delivery and registration of the yacht, and was retained by the owner to assist with the sale to an experienced buyer. Founded in 2007, Tankoa Yachts S.p.A., is an Italian builder of steel and aluminium luxury megayachts, which range from 45 metres in length up to 100 metres. It operates from a shipyard in the port of Genoa.
The demand for second hand quality yachts keeps growing, and the Stephenson Harwood team continues to advise sellers, buyers and financiers on a wide range of related deals.
The Stephenson Harwood team – which worked alongside Giancarlo Mussino of Sinos, an independent Switzerland-based firm, on the deal – comprised partner Jonathan Ward, senior associate Ezio Dal Maso and associate Silvia Bota.
