Summary of the models
Extra X86 M/Y Haze
Extra X86 certainly doesn't go unnoticed thanks to its glossy Daytona grey robe becoming opaque on the superstructure to enhance its harmonious shapes. The latter combined with a contemporary style design lends the boat a modern and unique personality.
M/Y Haze stems from a design process started from the interior and then extended to the exterior, obtaining that "penthouse feeling" desired by the Owner and perfectly integrating Francesco Guida's modern exterior lines with the interior signed by Lawson Robb. The large seamless windows offer a magical sensation of being inside a large crystal dome, providing great brightness to the exclusive internal living areas and a 360 degrees panoramic view.
The main features of the G.A. include the forward wheelhouse, which makes the saloon and aft deck very spacious and ideal for being transformed into an "entertainment space for late night outdoor movies".
The layout design revolves around the desire to ensure maximum livability everywhere on board: an example is the exceptional beach club of over 50 square metres that bestows on guests the pleasure of living comfortably in contact with the sea. The cockpit spreads over three levels sloping down to the water where the hydraulic swim platform can lower well below the water surface.
At the bow, a large sundeck and a comfortable sofa create a fourth relaxation area.
The aft galley which, through a large and bright window with an automatic up/down system, allows direct communication with the outdoor dining area that, furnished in white marble and inducing an "apartment feeling", reflects the Client's practical approach.
Extra X96 Triplex
Extra Yachts, a brand of ISA Yachts, presents the new X96 TRIPLEX where the onboard volumes and comfort reach their maximum expression both in terms of space and contemporary elegance.
Francesco Guida penned the exterior lines while Hot Lab studio designed the interior. The Extra lines distinguish themselves for the captivating design of the profile, instantly conveying a strong personality and a marked identity.
Refined contrasts between the clear and soft white fiberglass surfaces and the elegant dark windows providing unparalleled brightness and panoramic views to the exclusive interior living areas. X96 Triplex is a comfortable, spacious, refined boat, designed with no restrictions to fashion and technical solutions, ultimately a mature and well-built boat.
A chromatic palette characterized by reddish brown and sand, woods with a naturally desaturated essence, reflective whites and black metals create sharp yet calm contrasts.
All accompanied by fresh colours for the decor: blue, turquoise, teal.
Thanks to the 7.6 metre maximum beam, the owner cabin on the main deck forward is the largest in the category of boats under 30 metres. It comes complete with a spacious separate wardrobe and is designed to ensure all passengers maximum privacy.
Below deck we find four guest cabins: two VIP cabins with central bed and two cabins with single beds, all with en-suite.
The propulsion system of the semi-displacement X96 Triplex can rely on three powerful Volvo Penta IPS engines of 1000 horsepower each, capable of pushing it up to a maximum speed of 18 knots and a cruising speed of 15 knots.
ISA Super Sportivo 100 GTO M/Y Aldabra
ISA Super Sportivo 100ft GTO is the new silver colour arrow with a sporty design that features an infusion hull (fiberglass and carbon) combined with a lightweight carbon superstructure.
Performance is certainly the name of the game thanks to three 2,000 Hp MAN engines and hydrojet propulsion which, during the first sea trials, allowed to reach a maximum speed of 55 knots. Thus, this model becomes fully part of the worldwide fastest boats currently on the market in this category. Marco Casali (Too Design) has designed both the exterior and the interior, 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 square metres 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.
The interior, available in different options from 3 to 5 guest cabins in addition to the two crew cabins accommodating 4 people with separate access from the cockpit, is totally customizable and characterized by a design aimed to maximise light and confer an iconic architecture on spaces.
M/Y Aldabra has five double cabins with private bathrooms. The full-beam owner cabin is located amidships and has a double bathroom with a central pass-through shower.
Columbus Sport 50 meters M/Y K2
Columbus Yachts, a brand of Palumbo Superyachts, presents the new 50-meter Sport M/Y K2.
Columbus Sport 50 has naval engineering developed by both Palumbo Superyachts in collaboration with the Hydro Tec studio, while the exterior and interior design is penned by Luca Dini Design & Architecture.
Featuring several new solutions designed to the specific request of the Owner who is on his third project with Palumbo Superyachts, M/Y K2 accommodates 11 guests in five comfortable cabins and 11 crew members sharing seven cabins.
From the naval engineering and architecture point of view, the lines of Columbus Sport 50 M/Y K2 are characterized by a razor-sharp vertical bow, with double-edged cross sections to improve seaworthiness and keep the boat dry even in rough sea conditions.
The interior is clean, bright, harmonious and coherent. The layout has attractive outdoor spaces ideal for conviviality as they provide the flexibility of enjoying various daytime activities by easily transforming the sunpads into conversation seating sets or creating areas suitable for receiving guests. Great attention was paid to shading solutions to maximise the versatility of each area. On the two decks, bar and dining facilities are set up both indoor and outdoor. A comfortable entertaining area has been created in the Skylounge, with a large TV screen and a game table.
A swimming pool with Jacuzzi is located forward on the upper deck and can be reached from the cockpit through two large side walkways that turn the whole deck into a proper relaxation and entertainment area.
The fitness section in the owner's area forward on the main deck, spreads over 18 square metres and is equipped like a functional gym designed in every detail and complete with a hammam in the owner's bathroom.
The beach club, thanks also to the transformer platform with an approximately 4 square metre pop-up accessory automatically raising when the platform opens, offers a generous relaxation and entertainment area.
Powered by two 2000 Hp MTU engines, M/Y K2 is able to reach a maximum speed of 21.5 knots, with a cruising speed of 17 knots and a wide range for transatlantic crossings.
ISA Granturismo 45 metre
For the exterior style, Enrico Gobbi revisited some recognisable characteristics of ISA superyachts, such as the pronounced arches connecting the hull to the superstructure and the strikingly elaborate air intakes reminiscent of a sports car.
The silhouette is slender, with unfaltering and flowing lines. The volume of the superstructure has been deliberately concentrated astern to reproduce the typical outlines of a grand sports coupe.
Despite her streamlined profile, ISA GT 45 encompasses large interior volumes capable of accommodating 10 guests in 4 spacious staterooms on the lower deck and in the luxurious full-beam master suite with balcony and private access directly to the bow sunbathing area.
The large windows chase each other along the profile, ensuring breathtaking views from the master cabin and the main salon.
Operated by up to 7 crewmembers, ISA GT 45 has a range of over 3,500 nautical miles at 12 knots.
Astern, among the most captivating features are worthy of note the large swimming pool on the main deck and the beach club/ gym with glass doors at sea level on the lower deck.
The style of Luca Dini's interior is contemporary, a harmonious balance between precious and natural materials combined with "high-tech" elements like carbon, mainly used to create bespoke furniture conferring timeless elegance and refined emotions to this superyacht.
Hence, the interior is characterized by the use of very light oak, bleached teak, lacquers, carbon, steel and glass in all its possible variations. To add contrast and draw brightness, dark metal details are essential accents to enhance the fundamental idea.
This is a comfortable yacht, with excellent interior spaces, great outdoor liveability and a marvellous visual and practical flow from inside to outside.
The opening windows connect salons and cockpits, doubling the space. Curtains are invisible almost everywhere, solar shading systems have been chosen only where they add comfort and atmosphere by creating unique shadow effects.
Another effect of further appeal is given by the soft-carpet-looking floor finish obtained by mixing wooden strips treated with different material processes. This pattern expands on the doors creating subtle optical illusions.
ISA Classic 65 metre
The new ISA Classic is a 65 metre of over 1400 GT, characterized by a classic profile and built using the most modern construction technologies. Interior and exterior are the superb work of Enrico Gobbi of 'Team For Design'.
Behind the transom, hides a series of considerably significant technical solutions. First of all, the 3.9 x 4 metre stern door folds down to sea level, becoming a beach area. Simultaneously, the corresponding portion of the aft swim platform tilts and aligns itself with the opened stern door, essentially creating a same-floor tailgate at water level. When all the three doors are opened, the whole area turns into an amazing 180 square metre beach club.
The gangway opening mechanism too is literally one of a kind. Designed to be installed sideways on the port side of the transom - rather than lengthwise - it is divided into two sections and provided with a pantograph retracting system (that, once the gangway is extended, shuts its lower part for aesthetic reasons). This system has been specifically engineered to allow for a 2.10 metre ceiling height throughout the whole beach club.
Versatility and lighting effects are the key elements of this portion of the lower deck, consisting of: lounge area, bar, showers, fully equipped gym, sauna, massage room and even a welcome area for guest boarding/ disembarking.
Access from the main deck to the beach club is provided in three separate ways: an external staircase, an internal staircase to the right of the massage room, and lastly a transparent glass corridor which, crossing the engine room, directly connects the beach club to the lower deck lobby and the guest cabins.
The beach club colour scheme is made up of different shades of cobalt blue, used on metallic and lacquered surfaces, and on the external decks this colour scheme is combined with natural materials such as teak.
Another element which turns out to be lively and of great effect, thanks to the perfect indirect integration of light and the skilful use of blue, is the frosted and knurled Murano glass panel decorating the front of the bar counter.
The lighting system also has been studied in detail, and includes a lane of LED ceiling lights that runs symmetrical with respect to the central hatch, accompanying the view up to the back wall. The latter is made up of sinuous waves of teak and LED lights which are then reflected on the two stainless steel and glass sheets on the ceiling. And in fact this glass is the floor of the swimming pool on the main deck. This solution allows shimmering light from the pool to filter through the water and create a dappled light effect and an enchanting atmosphere both day and night.
As a final touch, modern clean line furniture has been selected to interact with the outdoor in perfect harmony.
The ISA Classic 65 has six cabins (plus a seventh convertible) including a full-beam owner's suite located forward on the main deck.
Two swimming pools (one with a countercurrent swimming system), gym, massage room with sea view, Turkish bath, outdoor cinema room, 2 jetskis and 2 tenders, are just a few of the chosen amenities on board this jewel of the sea.
