Projects: ISA Yachts Sportivo 100, ISA Yachts Sportivo 120, ISA Yachts Sportivo 140

ISA Yachts presents the new Sportivo line with the three 100, 120 and 140 projects. The design aims at a dominating combination of sporty lines typical of the coupé automotive world and interiors characterized by large volumes and an extremely contemporary imprint. All three models are designed by the effervescent creativity of Enrico Gobbi – Team for Design, with naval engineering by Palumbo Superyachts. The Sportivo 100 pictured above is the entry level of the rangge bringing a perfect fusion of extreme speed and refined aesthetics, a thirty meters masterpiece by Enrico Gobbi – Team for Design that redefines the concept of a performance yacht. With its sleek lines and construction in GRP and carbon fibre, every voyage becomes a pure pleasure experience. Eight guests are welcomed in four elegant cabins, looked after by a crew of four, ensuring impeccable service at all times. The ISA Yachts Sportivo 100 is powered by triple MAN 2000hp with jet propulsion for estimated top speeds up to 44 knots and a cruise of 34.  

The ISA Sportivo 120 stands in the middle of the range, and with its 36 meters adopts the philosophy of the smaller 100 and the 140 flagship and can accommodate eight guests in four comfortable cabins with private bathrooms. It is endowed with a Jacuzzi in the bow and a sizeable and versatile sun deck. Powered by triple 2600hp MTU's the Sportivo 120 can reach a maximum speed of 36 knots, a fast cruise of thirty, and of up to 550 nautical miles at twelve knots. 

The ISA Sportivo 140 is the flagship of a line identified by extremely high-quality construction, large external spaces and a fairly restrained superstructure. An innovative element is the forward looking military windshield designed to push the superstructure further. Definitely a yacht with a sporty look and futuristic details that combines a clean design with sophisticated modern furnishings and a Mediterranean flair. Standing at the stern, we immediately notice an open cockpit thanks to three large terraces that slope towards the sea and where, starting from the top, are respectively placed: the living area with sofa, chairs and a sizeable sunbathing area, the swimming pool with relaxation bench overlooking the sea and natural-stone effect passageway, and finally the platform under the sun. The bow hides a proper relaxation area with fireplace and Jacuzzi which can be alternatively transformed into a cinema room. The upper deck has been stretched to its maximum to fit naturally into the sleek line of this model. Certainly, one of the largest in its category to ensure maximum liveability and versatility, it includes a dining area for 10 people, a spacious living area with sofa, bar and a second relaxation area positioned at the bow. The interiors are rich in leather, lacquered wood and metal panels, all combined with a different pop of color for each area. The main salon opens onto the bar and then gives way to the sofas and dining area. The large fully opening floor/ceiling windows combined with the balcony, which can also be opened on the port side, provide an exceptionally enjoyable sea view. The owner suite is located amidships to optimize the maximum beam of almost nine metres and includes a walk-in closet with vanity, double bathroom with large central shower, sofa on the port side and opposite lounge area fitted with floor/ceiling windows combined with large opening terrace. Three double cabins plus the captain’s cabin will accommodate the seven members of crew. The tender is housed in the garage located on the port side. The ISA Yachts Sportivo 140 is powered by twin 44613hp MTUs will push the Sportivo 140 to a maximum speed of 32 knots and a cruising speed of 26 knots.

New Model: Zeelander 8

Zeelander Yachts has added its new flagship to its collection, following the launch of the 8 model.  It is a significant moment for the boutique yacht builder that just builds a handful of yachts every year to discerning clients, in a range which starts at fifty feet and goes up to this new eighty feet flagship. The Zeelander 8 is the largest yacht ever built by Zeelander, but it is also a close development of the existing product line, which starts with the fifteen meter Zeelander 5.  A pocket super sport yacht which just measures eighty foot at length over all the Zeelander 8 is designed by Cor D. Rover who sports the now known voluptuous classic yet modern lines of the Dutch yacht builder. Every Zeelander model is a work of art in a state of constant evolution. So, for all the family resemblance, the new Zeelander 8 has a prominent flowing shearline. Its gracefully raked stern and wrap-around windscreen will be familiar to admirers of the brand, and you will struggle to find a plain, straight line anywhere about the exterior. It is a testament to the design team that the Zeelander 8 shares the same perfect proportions as its smaller sisters, despite that impressive length, designer Cor D. Rover’s experienced touch is evident, alongside that of Zeelander’s dedicated in-house designers. At deck-level, the extra volume means more space for both a dedicated relaxing area and a large dining table with wrap-around seating. Then, below deck, there is a spacious full-beam owner’s cabin amidships plus two further guest doubles, all with ensuite bathrooms. While the Zeelander 8 is still conceived as a joy for the owner to drive, it is to be expected that additional service may also be desired, consequently at the bow of the yacht is two crew cabins sleeping three persons, located a separate entrance that ensures complete privacy for the owner and guests.  No description of the Zeelander 8 would be complete without evoking the curvaceous appeal of the aft deck, with deeply padded leatherette seats cocoon their occupants around a high gloss table. The transom is again classic Zeelander in the 8 flagship with more space and room as it swings open to expand into a huge twelve square metre bathing platform, essentially a private beach club, suspended invitingly above the water also as this area is not disturbed by a tender, which has its own dedicated garage amidships, running the full beam of the yacht and with a port side exit-entry door.  Owners know their minds when it comes to the details of their Zeelander, that is why the 8, but also the smaller models of the Dutch builder are customizable as possible in all key areas; from the aft deck, saloon, and guest cabins, along with all fittings and furniture customizations, can be tailored to individual preferences.  The Zeelander 8 is powered by quadruple Volvo 900hp or optional 1000hp IPS pod drive propulsion set up.  With the large engines the Zeelander 8 reaches a top speed of forty knots, and can cruise at 32 knots.

New Model: AB Yachts 110

AB Yachts has in Summer 2024 launched its new 110 model.  A current second in size model for the jet powered super sport yacht specialist, who here set in motion a stylistic evolution with the forward raked windshield marking an updated design element.  With a length over all of just under 34 meters the new AB Yachts 110 is characterised by the pleasant, charming interiors of a loft as designed by Marco Casamonti, which give unmatched conviviality along with stylish sporty lines, elegantly-finished details, and all-pervading brightness, while at the same time being able to run fast over forty knots with unmatched stability and trim, and thanks to her limited less to two meters draft from the jet propulsion can reach even the most secluded bays. This is, in short, the new AB110, taking and evolving the AB Yachts story to the next step. The new 110 embodies a brand-new concept of space, while the raked forward windshield extends the sport bridge and onboard liveability offering a wonderful outlook over the sea, while the exteriors and interiors flow smoothly into one another in a soft, fluid design. The spatial revolution has also involved the lounge areas; flybridge, forward, and aft; as the later can convert into a generous beach area that ensures the closest possible contact with the sea.  As cabin lounging goes, this is all located on the main deck, with this offering a central dining area for eight, a C-shaped saloon, central open galley, central triple seat pilot station, a day head located to port side.  Another option also exists here to move the galley down forward of the lower deck before the entry to the crew area, with this leaving the main deck dedicated to lounging.  With the lower deck galley version the forward VIP suite would be about 40% smaller and located to starboard.  Sleeping accommodation in the AB Yachts 110 offers four double guest suites, with a master stateroom at midships, and a VIP suite forward.  Forward of the lower deck is the crew area with two cabins sleeping four and a small L-shaped dinette.  The first AB Yachts 110 is powered by triple Man 2000hp for top speed up to 43 knots with a cruise of 38, allowing for a range up to 460 nautical miles.
