ISA has inked contracts for three new yachts, representing three entirely different styles. Specifically, between next summer and 2014, ISA will deliver a 41 Meters Classic, a 66m Grantourismo, and a fully custom 177-foot (54-meter) megayacht, nicknamed Project Panorama.
The first of the three, the 41 Meters Classic, measures 134 feet and is for repeat buyers. Shown here, the megayacht is derived from ISA’s 128-foot (39-meter) Classic model. She features three decks and accommodations for 10. ISA’s in-house team will handle interior design. Styling-wise, the 41 Meters Classic is indeed more classic than other ISA launches over the years, featuring the work of Andrea Vallicelli. There’s a good mix of indoor and alfresco spaces, with the latter including a sundeck hot tub and a good-size swim platform off the curved transom. The ISA 41 Meters Classic will bear a full-displacement steel hull and should top out at 14 knots, powered by twin Caterpillar C18 diesel inboards. Delivery should be summer of next year.
About a year later, the 66m Grantourismo and Project Panorama should each be ready. The 217-foot Grantourismo (above) is not only the largest ISA contracted to date, but also a lengthened version of the largest Grantourismo model. As you may remember from late last year, when ISA initiated the Grantourismo line, the biggest one listed was the 60m Grantourismo, measuring 197 feet. The goal of the series remains unchanged, though: emphasizing alfresco spaces more than interior areas. The new 66m Grantourismo will have four decks, a steel hull mated with an aluminum superstructure, and an accommodations for 12. The sleek styling of the Grantourismo, from her plumb bow to curvaceous aft lines, comes from Andrea Vallicelli.
As for Project Panorama, five decks will be at the disposal of the owners and guests, connected via a glass-enclosed elevator and spiral staircase surrounding it. ISA describes the 177-footer as being thoroughly modern, and the balcony off the owner’s suite certainly backs that up. So, too, do the foldable doors aft in the saloon, transforming the space into an indoor-outdoor relaxation area. Other highlights include a beach club formed when the transom and side bays fold down, and a formal dining room fully forward on the main deck. ISA’s in-house team is collaborating with Axis Yacht Design for naval architecture and the engineering.
