Italian shipbuilder MED Group has announced the launch of the first model in its new TYKUN line of high-performance chase boats. Named TYKUN X, the 10.5-metre vessel will make its official debut at the 2025 Monaco Yacht Show.

Military-grade performance, safety and comfort
Built on MED Group’s defence-sector pedigree, TYKUN X features a robust aluminium hull engineered with advanced stability calculations. The vessel is capable of speeds exceeding 50 knots, while maintaining a smooth, safe and comfortable ride across diverse sea conditions.
A distinctive carbon-fiber hard-top adds lightweight strength and structural protection, while also elevating the vessel’s modern profile. The boat is built to the highest standards of safety and reliability, drawing directly on MED Group’s defence expertise.
A heritage of innovation
The TYKUN range draws from MED DEFENSE, the company’s specialist division supplying rigid inflatable boats (RIBs) to law enforcement and public security agencies. TYKUN models are developed on NATO-qualified and EC-approved platforms, ensuring that military-tested engineering is seamlessly integrated into the luxury chase boat segment.
Custom craftsmanship and smart design
Thanks to its aluminium construction, TYKUN X offers extensive personalisation options, from layouts and materials to electronics and colour palettes, giving owners flexibility rarely found in conventional designs.
A key innovation is the spacious lateral terrace, designed to strengthen guests’ connection to the sea and enhance onboard comfort.
“With TYKUN X, we wanted to create a chase boat that delivers performance and practicality without compromising on design sophistication,” said Tommaso Spadolini. “The lateral terrace is just one of several smart features we’ve incorporated to enhance the onboard experience. It was a pleasure to design this vessel, and we can’t wait for attendees at MYS to step aboard and experience it for themselves.”
It also has optimised onboard space providing ample storage for water toys, including SUPs, SeaBobs, water skis and more.
“After years of painstaking development and refinement, it is the perfect time to unveil our 10.5-metre chase boat,” said Marco Galimberti, CEO of MED Group. “With the Monaco Yacht Show on the horizon, we anticipate a great deal of interest from clients in the know, thanks to TYKUN X’s unique combination of the power and grit of a military vessel with the style and comfort found in superyacht tenders.”
