History

Taransay construction started in 2013 when the German owner, in possession of the project of an old motor yacht dated 1929, decided to reproduce it using the modern technologies. Launched by the builder shipyard Rossinavi, in Viareggio in April 2015,[2] Taransay left for its first cruise just two months after.

In September, Taransay successfully participated to the Monaco Yacht Show 2015,[3] where received the prestigious Monaco Award for its originality and distinction.[4]

This yacht was originally designed by GL Watson and completely redesigned by Tassin Design company.
