Taransay

A classic among fast siblings

Taransay launched from Viareggio in 2015 as a deliberate counterpoint to the yard's sporty aluminium yachts. Where those hulls chase speed, she was drawn as an unhurried displacement cruiser in the classic idiom. Rossinavi handled her naval architecture and exterior styling in-house, a sign of the yard's growing confidence. She proved the marque could speak in more than one design language. Her arrival widened what buyers thought a Rossinavi could be.

The result is a yacht that feels timeless and quietly self-assured. Her modest 278 GT over three decks make her easy to run and berth. She has been described as a gentleman's yacht, a compliment to her restrained and traditional character. For the yard she showed real range beyond the fast aluminium boats that made its name. Running and berthing her asks far less of an owner than a larger yacht would.

In-house lines with a traditional face

Rossinavi's own team gave Taransay a classic profile with a plumb-ish bow, a balanced sheer and a warm, ship-like presence. She measures 38.55 metres with a 7.6 metre beam, proportions that read as solid and reassuring. The styling avoids fashion in favour of a look that will not date. She has the manners of a yacht built for owners who value understatement. Her solid proportions read as reassuring from the first glance across a harbour.

Her deck spaces are intimate and well judged for a yacht of her size. Shaded aft areas and a comfortable sundeck make easy places to gather. The exterior was drawn to age gracefully across many seasons of use. She is a yacht that quietly earns admiration on a busy quay. The intimacy of her decks suits small groups who value each other's company.

Studio Tassin within

Studio Tassin shaped the interior, using dark teak and richly textured fabrics to create a warm and characterful home. Kilim-covered sofas and armchairs give the saloons a relaxed, collected feel. The rooms have the atmosphere of a country retreat translated to the water. Accommodation is arranged for up to ten guests, with a master suite, a VIP cabin and three twin cabins. The warmth of the materials makes her feel welcoming in any weather.

The layout suits family cruising and easy entertaining across a season. Up to seven crew keep the service attentive and discreet. The interior favours comfort and warmth over showpiece drama, in keeping with the yacht's whole character. Taransay feels lived-in and welcoming from the moment of stepping aboard. Guests settle in quickly and tend to linger longer than they planned.

Steady and long-legged

Taransay rides on a displacement steel hull with an aluminium superstructure, powered by twin Caterpillar C18 diesels. Her top speed is a relaxed 14 knots with an easy cruise around 12, the pace of a yacht built for comfort. At 10 knots she offers a range near 3,500 nautical miles, opening up unhurried coastal voyages. The heavy displacement hull gives her a soft and stable ride. Her heavy displacement hull turns a lumpy afternoon at sea into an easy and reassuringly level ride.

This is propulsion chosen for calm and economy across long days at sea. She sips fuel compared with her planing cousins and rewards patience with serene passages. The build follows the commercial grade discipline the yard learned over decades in metalwork. Taransay is engineered to be enjoyed slowly and often. The modest fuel appetite keeps a long season comfortably within reach.

Who she suits

Taransay suits an owner who prefers a classic and characterful yacht to a fast and flashy one. She is ideal for relaxed family cruising where the pleasure is in the time aboard and the calm of the passage. Her manageable size and easy manners make her simple to run and enjoy. She appeals to a buyer with an eye for tradition and craft. Owners who value understatement and genuine craft will feel immediately at home aboard her from the first evening.

Her award-winning design and warm interior give her substance behind the charm. For someone who wants a yacht that feels like a well-loved home, she is a rare thing at 39 metres. The gentleman's yacht character is increasingly hard to find new. Taransay offers it with genuine Rossinavi build quality behind her. A yacht carrying this much warmth and award-winning pedigree seldom comes to the open market.
