Project: ISA Yachts Timeless 52 M

ISA Yachts presents Timeless 52 M, a new model which launched the line developed in collaboration with Luca Dini, conceived to stand the test of time through authoritative styling and architectural rigor.  The 52 meter first model is to be the first in a range which include fiver models from 42 to 82-metres.  The Timeless series stands out for its strongly horizontal exterior language, balanced proportions and formal purity that reflect the most authentic identity of ISA Yachts: balance, elegance and contemporaneity. The first model developed the ISA Timeless 52 metres, is a project that takes the concept of customization to a new level. Every detail has been carefully studied to enhance the harmony of the lines and the coherence of the proportions, making full use of the yacht’s length thanks also to the verticality of both stern and bow. With a beam of nine metres, ISA Timeless 52 clearly expresses a design vision focused on fully experiencing outdoor spaces. Large walkaround areas wrap around the yacht, allowing for smooth and natural circulation and offering generous spaces to be enjoyed with guests, in a continuous dialogue between comfort, conviviality and connection with the sea. The yacht can accommodate up to twelve guests in six cabins, with multiple layout combinations enabling extreme customization. At the bow, on the port side, there is space for a tender of over six metres, while on the starboard side a large lounge area has been designed with an opening roof and modular panels, allowing different configurations depending on weather conditions and usage needs. This area represents the core of the project: a flexible platform designed to adapt to the various configurations of the entire bow section, ensuring unparalleled design freedom. The layout possibilities respond directly to the owner’s vision and lifestyle: Owner’s suite on the main deck with an exclusive terrace and direct connection to the sea; Formal or informal dining area with modular layout and terrace use for aperitifs and or after-dinner moments or outdoor cinema; Optional private gaming room on the lower deck with indoor cinema and adjacent outdoor area; Wellness area, featuring a panoramic sauna and jacuzzi on the terrace; Fully equipped gym with panoramic views for an exclusive indoor–outdoor experience. These are not simply layout variations, but an architectural approach that redefines the very function of the main deck. The entire bow area becomes a dynamic space capable of evolving over time and interpreting different needs. An alternative configuration features the upper deck dedicated exclusively to the owner, with an aft suite, direct access to the external cockpit and a private jacuzzi, further strengthening the concept of privacy and spatial separation. The lower deck also confirms a high degree of versatility, with the possibility of configuring five or six guest cabins, in addition to an optional SPA or gym area, and a garage dedicated to water toys. Inside, natural light becomes a structural element of the design. Large glazed surfaces, transparency and generous floor-to-ceiling heights create airy and fluid interiors, free from visually intrusive structural elements. Technical features have also been integrated discreetly: for example, the air-conditioning ducts are positioned outside the main saloon to preserve its formal purity and visual continuity. The yacht accommodates up to eleven crew in six cabins. This Timeless 52 M is powered by twin MAN 1877hp each, allowing a maximum speed up to fifteen 15 knots and a cruising speed of twelve knots.

Sanlorenzo celebrates the launch of SHE, with the first unit of its new Sanlorenzo Heritage model entering the water ahead of the yacht's world première at the Cannes Yachting Festival this September. Reflecting a direction progressively defined by Sanlorenzo, SHE expresses a quieter vision of luxury yachting, where longevity, restraint and purpose matter more than excess.

Project: Patrone 45 Convertible

The Patrone 45′ Convertible marks a new chapter in the evolution of the Ligurian gozzo, introducing a cruising yacht conceived for those who believe the greatest luxury is spending more time at sea. Making its world debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026 in September, the new Patrone flagship combines the timeless elegance and Mediterranean heritage of the Ligurian gozzo with an innovative approach to onboard living. Designed by Tommaso Spadolini, the P45′ Convertible has been created for owners who enjoy longer cruises without compromising on comfort, versatility or style. Following the design path initiated by the Patrone 100 and continued with the 45 Open, the 45 Convertible further expands the Patrone philosophy. While remaining faithful to the unmistakable character of the traditional Ligurian gozzo, it introduces a completely new interpretation of onboard living, where flexible spaces and residential comfort become the defining features of the experience. At fourteen metres overall, the Patrone 45 Convertible is designed around one simple idea: creating more space for life on board. The cockpit is available in two distinct configurations. Owners can choose between a central seating area that converts into an additional sun-pad or a wraparound seating arrangement designed to encourage conversation and socialising. At the centre of the yacht lies a generous saloon featuring an original 360-degree seating concept and a convertible dinette, creating an open and versatile living area that naturally adapts throughout the day. The result is a yacht conceived not only for cruising, but for enjoying every moment spent on board. The defining innovation of the Patrone 45′ Convertible is not immediately visible but it changes the entire onboard experience. For the first time in the shipyard’s history, the galley has been relocated below deck, freeing the entire main deck and transforming the saloon into a spacious environment dedicated exclusively to relaxation, dining and entertaining. Despite its position below deck, the galley remains remarkably bright thanks to generous hull side glazing, Patrone’s signature hull windows and the open connection to the deck above. Natural light flows throughout the space, maintaining a constant visual relationship with the sea while creating an exceptional sense of openness rarely found on a yacht of this size. Designed with the functionality of a home kitchen, it features an induction hob, oven, large-capacity refrigerator, dishwasher and watermaker, everything required to make extended cruising effortless and enjoyable. The interiors reflect the same philosophy. Limed and bleached oak, abundant natural light and carefully balanced proportions create an atmosphere of understated elegance, while fabrics, finishes and colour palettes can be fully customised to suit each owner’s personal taste. Accommodation is arranged for up to six guests, with a full-beam owner’s cabin, a twin guest cabin and two additional berths obtained from the convertible dinette. Two independent bathrooms provide privacy and comfort during longer stays on board, reinforcing the yacht’s vocation as a true Mediterranean cruiser. The Patrone 45 Convertible is powered by twin Volvo 440hp with IPS pod drives combining effortless handling with the seaworthiness that has always distinguished the shipyard’s boats, making every cruise as enjoyable as every destination.
