The 50m (164ft) Tankoa S501, GREY, might be the planet’s best 50m party yacht. Her foredeck is home to the biggest outdoor TV in the world and an incredible surround system for epic movie nights under the stars.
In this in-depth tour and review, Jack Haines gives you a full walkthrough tour of the yacht from the Monaco Yacht Show, including her 6 guest cabins, deck spaces, interiors, tender garage and engine room.
The S501 is well suited to charter with four luxurious guest suites on the lower deck and both the VIP and Owner’s staterooms situated forward on the main deck. The owner’s cabin has a pair of private balconies that drop down at the touch of a button, too.
It’s the deck spaces that shine, however. The sun deck is home to another hot tub plus a bar, dinette and sunbathing area. So large is the TV on the foredeck, it can be watched and heard from up here too.
The yacht has relatively small 1,400hp engines for a yacht of this size but she’s relatively light thanks to her aluminium construction. The top speed is 14 knots but a 12-knot cruise will provide a trans-Atlantic cruising range.
In the comments below, let us know what you think of the Tanko S501, GREY.

What happened ro Carl?
Love that foredeck setup 😍 Really like this yacht
The theme music is played out and overused at every transition. I have to watch these videos on mute. The editor must have MMM-HHM-MMmmMMMmmm permanently stuck on mental repeat. Torture! 🙉
Wow so happy you got on this boat jack! Right on
Perhaps the biggest tv on a yacht!! The biggest tv in the world is in ATT Stadium (home of the Dallas Cowboys). Their tv measures 120 feet in width.
The Wolf of Wallstreet would be proud.
Great video.
Overkill!!! Very nice presentation though!
Is this the perfect 50m motor yacht. Just amazing. A marvellous tour from Jack.
Last year, I went to the Tour de France, waiting in the crowd all morning like everyone else around me, after 6 hours, we can hear the racers coming around the corner, the anticipation, the mystic, seeing the best racers in the world, following each other so closely, as I hear the roar, I lean out to get a better look, here they come, and all of a sudden, everyone around me, they all pulled their phones out, trying to captured this extraordinary moment, and instead of watching the racers zooming by, they all looking into their tiny screens not having a clue to seeing what these racers been training to do for years, to see the moment, in person, not through a phone screen. This is what I feel about this super yacht, it's a extraordinary yacht, but do you really need to sit in a hot tub, on a super yacht, in the middle of the ocean, watching the world's biggest tv?
Glorious yacht and so refreshing to see tastefully voluptuous decor rather than vulgar bling. I'm curious to know whether the galley and crew areas are of a decent size. Another time, perhaps.Fab tour as ever Jack and the team. Thanks very much
This is my second fav boat that you have shown, I would have the VIP for my children, so you have a total family space. This boat is stunning in every area.
Oh my that's a super yacht with a huge TV. Ok very very nice I guess. But that's not the, be all of her. It's nice but what we lose does she has.
Style, fabulous decor, comfortable, plenty of space to move around. A party boat, a relaxing boat for the exterior.
The interior is gorgeous, the salon, cabins and bathrooms. Luxurious, pampered guests with 5*hotel quality. Or if it's a family boat then it's a stylish home from home boat.
If the weather is not good the interior has plenty of space to entertain the guests and family. Lucky you Jack touring her.
What an incredible yacht, beautiful fixtures and fittings and a great layout, so, much room everywhere. Great tour Jack thank you.
Nice boat, if I had 37m would be mine.
The humming music you play when you move between areas of the ship reminds me of Wolf Of Wall street when Matthew McConaughey began humming at lunch.
thank goodness the forward speakers are so large. everyone knows sound does not travel far over the water and we definitely want to make sure the ENTIRE anchorage is disturbed. definitely the vessel for people who do not get enough screen time at home.
Not many watch tv anymore.
YES YES YES YES YES now thats how you layout a yacht! Love tankoa! So many yachts have tv's in stupid posistions! I dont care what anyone says like your on the water you dont need tv! If im on a yacht 50 foot and up and on the water for a weekend a week or a month i want prime tv viewing for evenings in main saloon! I dont want a saloon with dinning table! Sports games movies documentaries ect ect! I want a prime posistion tv in every cabin! Especially for the kids to play PlayStation ect! Yes some nights you talk all evening but if your out for a week you want tv! PERIOD END OF DISCUSSION! What a stunning machine! Thanks for this one what a treat thanks Jack!! God bless all and happy sailing all 🙏❤🛥⚓
Futurama, yesss!
