ISA Yachts, a brand from Palumbo Superyachts’ portfolio, has announced the sale of the second 45-metre superyacht of the ‘GT - GranTurismo’ series. The news comes several months after the first hull of the series was sold for summer 2020 delivery.
The ISA GT series is available in three dimensions: 45-,50-or 67 metres in length. She comes with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, combining style, sportiness and dynamism.
The hull features naval architecture by the technical office of Palumbo Superyachts, along with exterior design by Team for Design – Enrico Gobbi and interiors from the boards of Luca Dini Design & Architecture.
In the new model, Enrico Gobbi has preserved some key exterior traits of ISA Yachts, such as the large external arches connecting the hull to the superstructure. He has also contributed some new distinctive features to the profile, such as the elaborate air intakes, evoking the sports cars.
The yacht boasts slender silhouette with sharp and flowing lines. The volume of the superstructure has been pushed aft to recall the proportions of a true big sports coupe.
Despite her streamlined look, ISA GT 45 hides large interior volumes able to accommodate 8 guests across 4 cabins in addition to the luxurious full-beam master cabin, with a balcony and a private access directly onto the bow sunbathing area. The profile is trademarked with the large windows ensuring breathtaking views from the master cabin and the main saloon.
ISA GT 45 has a crew of up to 7 and a range of 3,500 nautical miles at a speed of 12 knots.
Among the most outstanding features of the 45-metre is definitely the aft swimming pool, the largest ever seen on a yacht this length, as well as the beach club/ gym with glass doors at sea level.
The interior style designed by Luca Dini is contemporary, the right balance between precious and natural materials with ‘high-tech’ inserts like carbon, mainly used in the custom-made furniture that confers this superyacht timeless elegance and refined emotions.
The vessel will be delivered to her European owner in summer 2021. Other recent news from the yard comprise construction update on the 65-metre ISA Classic and the sale of Super Sportivo 100 GTO capable of reaching 50 knots.
Giuseppe Palumbo, CEO of Palumbo Superyachts, comments:
Without a doubt it is a year full of satisfaction and this rewards us for the great investment made in terms of new models, infrastructures and management. In 2019, we delivered 5 superyachts, including the new flagship Columbus Classic 80 meters M/Y Dragon, and we are building 8 new boats between 26 and 67 metres: for me, this is synonymous of professionalism, expertise, quality and respect of deadlines.
Messe Düsseldorf decided to cancel boot Düsseldorf for 2021 due to the ongoing pandemic and the associated worldwide lockdown measures. The next boot, as scheduled in the trade fair calendar, will open its doors from 22 to 30 January 2022. Under the given circumstances, an implementation on the planned date in April is no longer guaranteed, says Wolfram N. Diener, CEO of Messe Düsseldorf: "The continuing high level of infection and the fact that the end of the lockdown is not foreseeable for the time being make a resumption of trade fair operations at the end of April appear increasingly unrealistic. We have reassessed the situation with our partners and jointly decided to cancel boot 2021 early. Our priority is the health and planning security of our exhibitors, visitors and service providers. All activities will now be focused on the successful staging of boot 2022."The aim, he said, is to return to the concept of boot Düsseldorf both as an event for all water sports enthusiasts and as a business and networking platform for the international trade audience. For 2022, he added, work is also underway on a hybrid trade fair experience that will, among other things, enable digital participation in seminars and events at boot Düsseldorf.Credits: boot Düsseldorf
