TUCCOLI MARINE PRESENTS THE T235 SF AT THE GENOA INTERNATIONAL BOAT SHOW
The new T235 SF makes its official in water debut, bringing Tuccoli Marine’s Executive Sport Vessel philosophy to the 7-metre segment while the shipyard continues to expand its Professional division.
Tuccoli Marine has officially presented the new T235 SF at the Genoa International Boat Show, marking the model’s first in-water debut. The new addition brings the shipyard’s Executive Sport Vessel (ESV) philosophy to the 7-metre segment, combining professional-grade construction principles with the versatility and comfort required for leisure boating.
During a press conference held at the shipyard’s stand, Paolo Sanguettola, Sole Administrator of Nuova Tuccoli, and Marcello Gherbin, Marketing and Sales Director, outlined the development journey behind the T235 SF and shared the latest progress within Tuccoli Marine’s Professional division.
“Once again this year, we are demonstrating that Tuccoli Marine is an innovative and dynamic shipyard. Our customers’ needs continue to drive the decisions we make. The strategy we adopted several years ago to diversify across professional, fishing and leisure boating has proven successful. It is paving the way towards pure cruising, which represents our next objective,” says Paolo Sanguettola.
The Executive Sport Vessel Philosophy Comes to 7 Metres a professional workboat must be strongest where structural stresses are greatest. Tuccoli Marine applies this principle its philosophy of over-engineering to leisure boating through the Executive Sport Vessel concept.
The approach combines hull reinforcement in areas subject to the highest structural loads with high structural rigidity and meticulous attention to stability, manoeuvrability and safety. These principles, typically associated with vessels designed for intensive professional use, have now been incorporated into a compact 7-metre platform with the T235 SF.
The result is a boat engineered to deliver enhanced seakeeping, long-term structural durability and stronger residual value.
Compact Dimensions, Offshore Capability the T235 SF measures 7.2 metres overall with a beam of 2.55 metres. The selected glass fabrics used in the hull lamination, together with the boat’s structural specifications and hull engineering, have enabled it to achieve CE Design Category B certification.
This classification is intended for offshore conditions involving winds of up to Beaufort Force 8 and significant wave heights of up to 4 metres, representing a notable achievement for a vessel of this size.
Owners can choose between a single outboard engine or twin-outboard configurations with combined power of up to 300 hp and a top speed of approximately 42 knots.
Despite its compact dimensions, the T235 SF also provides practical onboard accommodation. Below deck, the cabin incorporates a V-berth for two adults and a separate head compartment equipped with a washbasin and shower.
Beneath the hard top, the galley includes a hob and sink, while the cockpit can be configured according to the owner’s intended use. A folding retractable seat maximises available deck space when not required, while fishing-oriented configurations can incorporate features including livewells and rod holders.
A Digital Passport Built Into the Hull every new Tuccoli Marine boat is delivered as standard with the Boat Digital Passport, an NFC (Near Field Communication) chip permanently laminated into the hull.
Through a smartphone, owners can instantly access key information relating to the vessel, including its build certificate, materials specification, certified maintenance history, technical manuals and original documentation.
The system provides greater transparency throughout the vessel’s lifecycle and creates a more objective basis for evaluating its condition and value over time. It also responds to an increasingly important challenge for the boating industry: ensuring material traceability and effective vessel lifecycle management in line with evolving European regulatory requirements.
Professional Division Continues to Expand alongside the launch of the T235 SF, Tuccoli Marine continues to strengthen its activities within the Professional division.
The first vessel built for the Carabinieri is already operational in Sicily while two additional units are scheduled for delivery between late 2026 and early 2027.
Construction is also progressing on a vessel commissioned by ARPAL, the Ligurian Regional Environmental Protection Agency. Designed specifically for environmental monitoring and water sampling operations, the vessel is being extensively customised to meet the agency’s operational requirements.
Its configuration includes inboard propulsion, an enclosed cabin designed to function as an office, two refrigerators including one dedicated exclusively to sample storage and a stern arch supporting the winches used to deploy monitoring instruments.
Tuccoli Marine is also developing a new project within its Professional division, although details remain confidential at this stage.
“We’re working on something important, but for reasons of timing and confidentiality we cannot reveal more at this stage,” explains Marcello Gherbin. “What we can say is that it represents another step forward in the development of the yard’s professional expertise, knowledge that may eventually find its way into future leisure-boating projects as well.”
With the introduction of the T235 SF and continued investment in its Professional division, Tuccoli Marine is reinforcing its strategy of transferring professional-grade engineering, expertise and technology into increasingly versatile leisure boats while continuing to broaden its product offering.
