Project: ISA Yachts Viper 120

ISA Yachts presents the new Viper line that renews the Ancona super yacht yard’s over twenty years of experience in the production of fiber glass build super sport yachts, which made the brand famous worldwide, and perfects it through new stylistic elements, excellent performance and flexible solutions to optimize the interior spaces. A new concept that once again accentuates the innate identity of ISA models by creating even sleeker and more defined lines though maintaining a fresh and contemporary style.  The ISA Yachts Viper line debuts the first collaboration with Fulvio De Simoni entrusted in the development of both the exterior and interior design, with naval engineering  carried out by ISA Yachts. The Viper line is to offer three models of 100, 120 and 140 feet, all made of composite with carbon reinforcements.  The first project presented here and just starting construction for a delivery n 2026, is the 38-metre 120 Viper.  The ISA Yachts 120 Viper will feature a reduced draft of under two meters suitable for shallow waters like the Caribbean Sea, and is to be fitted with triple MAN or MTU engines, for maximum speeds up to 33 knots and cruising at 26.  Laid out into three distinct zones, the cockpit is certainly the most representative area of 120 Viper, where at sea level, the stern beach club is equipped with a multifunctional ‘transformer’ bathing step ladder and gangway; climbing two side steps a large sun pad faces towards the aft and a lounge furnished with sofas and a coffee table. The two opening side balconies lend an extraordinary livability to this area. The third zone is dominated by an outdoor table which can seat up to eight people. The combined aft galley and bar is unmissable and the up/down tinted glass partition makes it suitable for both formal and informal occasions like show cooking and cocktail parties, as well as enclosed kitchen guaranteeing maximum screening from guests. To the left of the bar there is a staircase leading to the sun deck.  To maximize interior space, just one port-side walkway to the bow is provided on the port side, and amidships, close to the salon, another opening balcony allows to marvel at the view even from the indoor sofas.  At the bow there is a circular pool with sun loungers and sofas.  Entering, we are welcomed by a second combined bar-galley unit before reaching the bright salon, with opening floor-to-ceiling windows to fully enjoy the scenic views and furnished with semi-circular sofas and armchairs. A second ten-seater circular table completes the set-up.  The wheelhouse is located on the main deck forward, and to its left we find the staircase leading to the lower deck housing four double cabins with private bathroom and the owner’s cabin with double bathroom. The later comes with two different options: amidships to make the most of the full beam or in the bow with a large walk-in closet.  The sun deck, with carbon hard top, includes the second helm station as well as providing a private and versatile space for guests. Its layout features two large sun pads at the stern, a lounge area with sofas, an L-shaped bar and a twelve seater table.  The entrance to the crew quarters, which include three cabins with private bathrooms for four crew members and the captain, has been positioned near the galley to ensure maximum privacy and separation from guests.  The garage for the 5-metre tender is placed on the starboard side.

Project: ISA Yachts Unica 40M

ISA Yachts announces the sale and the start of costruction for the new 40-metre project Unica, a semi-displacement and full-aluminum superyacht with a draft of just over two meters. This super yacht fruit of the collaboration between the talented designer Enrico Gobbi of Team for Design and the famed technical department of Palumbo Superyachts, redefines the standards of excellence. ISA Unica 40M stands out right from its name that means unique specimen, without any equal in the international yachting industry. Based on the analysis of what the current market has to offer in terms of innovation, design, functional solutions and volume optimization, the project was developed creating its own unique trends. Among its main competitive advantages this super yacht can boast highly functional spaces or more generous volumes compared to other similar sized yachts. The length of the exterior decks and the large windows are just an example. The exterior design is fluid, with empty and full spaces chasing each other, creating a bonding and harmonious balance with the water. The lines flow towards both the bow and the stern, giving the profile a natural dynamism even in the presence of expansive superstructures. One of the objectives was to provide guests on board with a clear view of the surroundings, making the whole project look just as visually connected. The design is emphasized by a careful study of the lighting, which highlights the profiles and generates a glossy and welcoming atmosphere. The stern is a true haven of pleasure, it is distributed over three levels sloping towards the sea and has an attractive sunbathing area, a swimming pool and an infinity cockpit where the glass balustrade allows for an uninterrupted view. The interiors have been designed to guarantee maximum on-board comfort but above all to optimize every need. The owner’s area, located forward of the main deck, includes an office and a lounge with vanity, a double walk-in wardrobe and a bathroom with two sinks. In addition, there is a sliding door to separate the bed from the rest of the area so as to ensure maximum privacy. The large side windows are impressive and allow natural light to flood the cabin. Two are the lunch and dinner zones, a more formal one on the main deck and a second one with a round table on the upper deck cockpit. Both decks are also equipped with living and relaxation spaces. Another distinctive feature of the project is certainly the large bow surface on the upper deck which boasts a sunbathing area and a space for entertainment. The fly deck is incredibly spacious thanks to its almost sixteen meters length and it includes two sunbathing areas, one at stern and the other one at bow, a lounge with sofa and armchairs, a dining table, a bar with stools and a round Jacuzzi. Below deck there are four double guest suites, three of which are VIP with double beds and one guest with twin beds, all with private bathroom. Crew accommodation caters for seven members and the captain’s cabin located next to the pilot house. The propulsion system includes 2 MTU engines with 1920hp each, capable of propelling the vessel up to a maximum speed of twenty knots and enabling a cruising speed of fifteen, with a possible range over 4,000 nautical miles at a speed of twelve knots.

Project: ISA Yachts Gran Turismo 80M

ISA Yachts, a brand of Palumbo Superyachts, is delighted to announce that the new project Future, ISA Gran Turismo 80 metres, under construction at the Palumbo Superyachts shipyard in Ancona, is taking shape with the steel hull nearing completion. The vessel was sold in July this year and will be delivered in 2027. Team for Design – Enrico Gobbi, who penned the exterior lines, will also be responsible for the interior design. The naval architecture will be completed by Palumbo Superyachts’ in-house team. ISA GT 80 is a sporty coupĂ© with sinuous lines that breaks down the boundaries between indoors and out to create a unique and sophisticated fil rouge. The studied contrast between the hull colour, in steel grey with charcoal details, and the minimal windows confers an even slender appearance to the project and emphasizes its horizontal element. The sky-lounge housing the wheelhouse looks like set back so as not to break the slender line and to emphasize the distinctive ISA arch, here even more dynamic, which connects all the decks. Forward on the main deck, we find the infinity pool connected to the owner cabin via a lit up path with great scenic impact. The owner cabin is a true glasshouse, where the most unobtrusive uprights give centre stage to the opening floor-to-ceiling windows enhancing the sense of continuity between indoors and out. The outdoor furnishing is organic, characterized by round shapes and very modern curves combined with warm wood for a glamorous yet high-quality elegance. The equipped gym is located on the starboard side of the upper deck, which is the bridge where also the wheelhouse and the captain cabin are set. On the main deck, ISA GT 80 features 5 double cabins, including a VIP with lounge. The owner cabin located on the upper deck forward comprises two bathrooms, one with tub and shower, a vanity area, two wardrobes and an office. A sixth VIP cabin with twin beds has been provided on the lower deck. The crew area on the lower deck consists of ten cabins that can accommodate up to eighteen people.

ISA Yachts, a Palumbo Superyachts brand, announces that the next model to be christened at the Ancona shipyard is the Granturismo 45 titled M/Y UV II. A superyacht with marked characteristics and stylistic features proper to the ISA DNA such as the side arches connecting the three decks, the round dining room on the upper deck and the great sophistication of the external lines. Palumbo Superyachts handled the naval engineering; Enrico Gobbi Team for Design designed the exterior lines, and Luca Dini the interior. Large windows that can be opened on all decks and a harmonious colour palette in shades of gold, sand and turquoise are the elements that characterize all the interior spaces. Below deck ISA GranTurismo 45 features four VIP suites, two with twin beds that can be joined together and two cabins with double beds, all with private bathrooms. The full-beam owner stateroom is located on the main deck forward and includes entrance hall with sofa and TV, bathroom with double sink, walk-in wardrobe and an exclusive balcony. A unique property of this area is the direct access to the forward outdoor lounge via a private staircase. Steel hull and aluminum superstructure, ISA GranTurismo 45 is powered by twin Cat 1318hp engines which give a top speed up to sixteen knots, a cruising of fourteen, and a long 3800 nautical miles at twelve knots.  ISA GranTurismo 45 also features a five meter tender garage with side-opening to starboard.

Project: ISA Yachts Gran Turismo 33

ISA Yachts, a brand of Palumbo Superyachts, announces the project for a new Granturismo 33 metres with sinuous lines and a sophisticated soul. The exterior and interior design is by Architect Enrico Gobbi of Team for Design, while the naval engineering is by ISA Yachts. Inspired by its older sisters, ISA GT 33 is a competitive project aiming to encapsulate the incisive shapes, the innovations and the original details of the Granturismo line. The exterior design portrays a great coupé effect through the pronounced bow, the superstructure located toward the stern and the arches connecting all the decks: the traits that have made the ISA brand so distinctive all over the world. On both the main and the upper deck, continuity between the indoor and outdoor layout is achieved through the use of the same materials and the purposeful design of the lighting system. The placing of these areas on a single-level floor further facilitates the merging to create a dynamic and versatile environment. To this purpose, the cockpit sofas on the main deck have been designed so as not to obstruct the view from indoor. Typical of all ISA GT projects, the upper deck features a circular dining room which, thanks to the 180-degree sliding window, opens the view on the cockpit, again to the purpose of creating a single indoor-outdoor space. Compact yet functional, ISA GT 33 has a hydro-massage swimming pool in the bow. ISA GT 33 can accommodate up to ten people, with the owner cabin located on the main deck forward, while two VIP and two double cabins with twin beds are below deck. The service is guaranteed by five crew members. With aluminium hull and superstructure, ISA Gran Tutismo 33 is equipped with twin MTU 1620hp engines powering it to a top speed of 21 knots and guaranteeing a cruise speed of 19 knots.

Project: ISA Yachts 80 Continental

ISA Yachts, a brand of Palumbo Superyachts, leader in the construction and sale of custom and semi custom superyachts, confirms that the construction of the steel hulled Continental 80 is progressing smoothly on schedule.  The interior fitting is expected to start in January 2022 with a potential delivery to the Owner in early 2024.  Enrico Gobbi of Team for Design penned the exterior lines, while the naval architecture is by Palumbo Superyachts.  The construction is an ‘on spec’ project started and financed by ISA Yachts to reduce delivery times and offer a well-established naval platform adjustable between 70 and 80 meters of length.  The ISA brand has always been synonym for excellence and quality and the 35 superyachts, between 30 and 66 metres delivered from 2002 to date, actually prove it. Project ISA Continental 80 is a very architectural yacht with well balanced volumes and ‘streamlined’ lines. Its exterior design is highlighted by squared and rigorous windows for incredible panoramic views from all the main indoor areas.  A distinctive detail is given by the terraces in the central section of the boat; in particular, the one on the Upper Deck looks like a real balcony and lets more light flood the salon.  Other strategic areas are just as brightly lit, like the gym in the Sky-lounge and the salons on the Upper and Main Deck. Another emblematic feature of this yacht is the stern infinity pool. Its rectangular shape spans the beam of the deck and stands out for its aft wall formed by 2 glass sheets with water cascading between them.  So arranged, the swimming pool leaves ample room for large sunpads and lounging, transforming this portion of the Main Deck into an extension of the actual beach area to which is connected by a flight of stairs. The Upper Deck can be considered a proper owner’s deck with lounge and living areas astern and the master suite forward. Equipped also with touch-and-go landing, the yacht ensures direct access to the owner’s quarters for maximum privacy.  The interiors will be designed by Luca Dini will have seven cabins accommodating up to twelve passengers assisted by nineteen crew members housed in ten cabins. 80 Continental is to be powered by twin MTU 3003hp engines reaching a seventeen knots maximum speed and a twelve knot cruise speed with a range of 6200 nautical miles.

New Model: ISA Super Sportivo 100 GTO

ISA Super Sportivo 100ft GTO is the new silver colour arrow with a sporty design featuring a carbon fibre infused hull combined with a lightweight carbon superstructure.  Performance is certainly the main ingredient thanks to her three Man 2000hp engines and jet propulsion which, during the first sea trials reached a maximum speed of 55 knots. Therefore, this model becomes fully part of the worldwide fastest boats currently on the market in this category.  A legend that began a few years ago when Giuseppe Palumbo entrusted Marco Casali the development of the new ISA Super Sportivo line. A market niche for super speed enthusiasts that introduces in the history of ISA the use of jet propulsion on one of the shipyard’s best seller the 120t Sport and the 140t Sport.  The Owner of Aldabra immediately loved the lines and believed in the project. A top-level technical team led by Engineer Arnaboldi and specialized in performance boats worked to develop the water lines and aerodynamics. ISA Super Sportivo 100 GTO took shape at the Palumbo Superyachts shipyard, Ancona; Marco Casali from Too Design looked after both the exterior and the interior, liaising with the carbon fibre specialized staff of the site technical office. Once again, ISA Yachts confirms itself as an innovative and dynamic brand capable of facing increasingly exciting challenges.  The sleek lines are emphasized by the high deep-V shaped bow and by the profile that drops rapidly down to the stern. The deckhouse has a pronounced sheer line that perfectly matches the large double-curved front windows of 5 sqm each, divided by the gull-wing door to access the cockpit.  The boat performance is stylistically amplified by the big air intakes playing a dynamic role when positioned above the hard top.  Astern and forward the sizeable open surfaces make it a unique product in its category, while the large opening glass panels of the hard top still ensure maximum comfort even in the covered areas of the cockpit.  The great attention to the weight of this ISA Super Sportivo 100 GTO has led to the installation of innovative solutions in addition to lighter furniture, flooring and ceiling. Indeed, the deck flooring is in a special closed cell marine grade foam which, in addition to being light, is also very soft to the touch, easy to maintain, does not heat up under summer high temperatures and guarantees unmatched soundproofing.  On the starboard and port side of the cockpit we find two electric lift carbon tables serving as coffee or dining tables or as a large relaxation surface when covered with their cushions. Four Frau Donald armchairs, leather upholstered, complete the area.  The Furuno dashboard is central, ergonomic and perfectly integrates with the cockpit design.  The interior, available in several options from three to five guest cabins in addition to the two crew cabins accommodating four people with separate access from the cockpit, are totally customizable and characterized by a design aimed to maximise light and confer an iconic architecture on spaces.  Hull One of the Super Sportivo 100 GTO M/Y Aldabra has 5 double cabins with private bathrooms. The full-beam owner cabin is located amidships and has a double bathroom with a central pass-through shower.  The cockpit and lower deck finishes are in leather, carbon and steel to enhance the modern, clean and essential style of the whole project. Great attention has been paid to the light design using integrated LED strips to highlight specific details.  A four metre tender is housed in the aft garage and can be hauled launched through a tender slide system with a winch. ISA Super Sportivo 100 GTO is also equipped with a transformer and a Seakeeper 35 for maximum comfort on board.

Project: ISA Yachts Gran Turismo 45 meters

ISA Yachts, a brand of Palumbo Superyachts, is pleased to announce the sale of a new 45-meter superyacht from the GT Gran Turismo series.  This new construction represents a new era for the Gran Turismo line of the Ancona shipyard, which became famous following the delivery of the 66-meter and 43-meters models.  Designed by Enrico Gobbi for the exterior design and Luca Dini for the interior, this project with steel hull and aluminum superstructure combines style, sportiness and dynamism.  ISA GT 45 is already under construction at the Ancona shipyard of Palumbo Superyachts and will be delivered to its owner in summer 2020.  For her exterior profile, Enrico Gobbi has revisited some of ISA Yachts characteristics such as the pronounced external arches connecting the hull to the superstructure and enriched with distinctive sports cars features such as the fancy air intakes.  The silhouette is slender, with strong and flowing lines.  The volume of the superstructure has been deliberately concentrated astern in keeping with the proportions typical of a sports coupè car.  Despite its slender exterior lines, ISA GT 45’s interior space is impressively roomy so to easily accommodate eight guests in four large cabins and a luxurious full-beam master suite with balcony and private direct access to the bow sunbathing area.  The large-size windows run along the profile, providing the master cabin and the main salon with breathtaking views.  ISA GT 45 accommodates a crew of up to seven and provides a range of 3500 nautical miles at a speed of twelve knots.  Among her most individual features, in the aft section are worth mentioning the largest swimming pool ever seen on a yacht of this length and the beach club/ gym with glass doors at sea level.  The interior style by Luca Dini is contemporary, a fair balance between precious and natural materials with the addition of some “high-tech” elements such as carbon mainly used to make the bespoke furniture assign timeless elegance and precious emotions to the superyacht.

New Model: ISA Yachts 54m Panorama

On June 28th, 2014 ISA Yachts launched Forever One, a 54m full displacement custom motor yacht. With her reverse bow and vibrant red and white paintwork, this latest ISA is for sure a different yacht. This fully custom five deck yacht with an aluminum superstructure and an impressive steel hull with reverse bow is designed by Horacio Bozzo Design with an interior by Alessandro Massari/Studio Massari. ISA Yachts worked in very close cooperation with the naval architect, the sales broker Fernando Nicholson, the Captain/Owner’s representative Colin Skinner and the interior designer to build a yacht full of distinctive features which make it stand out of the crowd. The layout is quite unconventional and the challenge was to fit several features that make her unique: The Owner's deck is one of the peculiarities of such vessel with a private balcony - accessible from their stateroom - and a large aft deck terrace. Fold-able bulwarks on the main deck grant a spectacular view to the exterior. Noteworthy is the glass elevator that connects all decks, from the lower deck to the flybridge. She has a spectacular dining/relaxing salon located forward on the main deck where usually are located the owner's stateroom. A spacious beach club with large fold-able stern and side platforms ideal for water toys and tenders docking give also facilitated access to the water by automatic and gentle-angled submerged stairs. The main garage is located forward on main deck and will carry a 9m tender and a 5,5m crew tender. Two Caterpillars 1911hp engines will propel this motor yacht to a speed of 16 knots with a trans-pacific range. The exterior color scheme is composed of Dupont Snow White on hull and superstructure.

New Model: ISA Yachts 66m Granturismo

On May 3rd, 2014 ISA Yachts launched the 66m Granturismo. This full displacement custom motor yacht is the biggest ISA yacht built to date in terms of length. The concept behind the Granturismo is to emphasize the outdoor experience of a yacht without compromising the space and comfort that the owner would expect from a steel and aluminum displacement yacht. The overall beauty of yachts over the years has been lost to interior space, on the contrary Granturismo is a concept that allows for owners who love the sea to enjoy outside spaces. The ISA 66m Granturismo is a custom four deck yacht with an aluminum superstructure and an impressive steel hull with straight bow. The yacht is designed by Andrea Vallicellli and the interior by Alberto Pinto. Both designers worked in very close cooperation with the yard and the Owner’s management team to combine both design and architectural aspects based on a strong contrast between the harmonious and curvaceous lines of the decks with the rigorous and diamond-like geometry of the transom and sundeck. The hull shape and bow are optimized for both efficiency and comfort. ISA 66m Granturismo is a custom motor yacht with lots of space in relation to the total volume and her lines are sleek and graceful. The design does not achieve extra deck space by stacking the decks, there is not the piled-up effect, one layer after the other, the philosophy of the whole concept is to guarantee the owners the space and comfort they would expect. This stylish interior has been subcontracted to the renowned Austrian company List General Contractor GmbH. The naval architecture is developed in-house by ISA Technical Department in conjunction with BMT Nigel Gee naval architects, including a comprehensive four-month cooperation with MARIN - Maritime Research Institute Netherlands making a very intense tank testing program to evaluate all possible sea-conditions before starting the production of this very first innovative 66 meters super yacht. Throughout this procedure, at various steps, a close supervision was maintained by the Owner’s team. The exterior color scheme is composed of Dupont Black metallic on hull and Silver Metallic on the superstructure. Powered by twin Cats engines rated at 2366hp, she can reach top speeds of 18 knots and at a cruising speed of 16 knots. ISA 66M Granturismo will undergo the final commissioning phase in the next coming weeks.

New Model: ISA Yachts 41 meter Yacht

The launching ceremony of this spectacular 41-metre yacht, initially though as an ordinary one, transformed into a very emotional event thanks to the very affectionate words both of the owner, a repeat client for ISA, who emphasised in a long and unexpected speech how proud he is in belonging to this Italian shipyard and how the company always treated him and his crew with professionalism, accuracy and commitment. This steel-aluminium displacement motor yacht is the 28th unit built by ISA in its twelve year history. Exterior design by Andrea Vallicelli, interior design by ISA interior department, managed by Daniele Socci, Aziza yacht will be officially presented at the boat shows in September, showing once again ISA’s distinguished very high quality standards and unique design. The positive market feedback is assumed as the 41-metre motor yacht Aziza with huge volumes is today the only alternative for a good quality steel/aluminium boat of this size. As a final point, this is the only 2013 launching as the projects presently under construction at ISA will be completed next year, so get ready for a glittering 2014 and stay tuned!

After about a month from the announcement of the three new sales, ISA is enthusiastic to announce the fourth! This time its for a brand new 43 M Granturismo, which follows on the design of the bigger 66m of the same series, and is the second model of this new range. ISA 43 M Granturismo is a two decks steel/aluminium displacement motor yacht which main features are very eye-catching design, excellent performance and very good range and extreme comfort.  This 43 M Granturismo draws the attention for her strong and sporty lines and very elegant personality.
