ISA Gran Turismo 68m-Keel Laying Ceremony

ISA Yachts, a brand of Palumbo Superyachts, officially marked the start of construction of the new ISA Gran Turismo 68m with the traditional keel-laying ceremony, a milestone that signals the birth of a new flagship within the ISA fleet.

The ISA Gran Turismo 68m embodies a harmonious blend of timeless elegance, strong personality, and absolute customization. Conceived as a fully bespoke project, the yacht is designed around the vision and lifestyle of each individual owner.

The exterior lines are penned by Vallicelli Design, while the interiors are curated by Team for Design – Enrico Gobbi. Together, they deliver a refined balance between sportiness and sophistication, translating ISA’s iconic design DNA into a contemporary expression.

Built with a steel hull and aluminum superstructure, the ISA Gran Turismo 68m presents a powerful and dynamic silhouette. Signature design elements include the distinctive connecting arches linking the three decks and the circular dining area on the main deck, an unmistakable hallmark of the Gran Turismo range.

A strong connection with the sea lies at the heart of the design philosophy. At beach club level, opening platforms extend the living areas outward, creating a dedicated space for relaxation and social interaction, complete with a gym, lounge, and spa.

Aft, a striking swimming pool becomes the focal point of the outdoor experience, complemented by generous open-air spaces that combine functionality with visual impact, offering an elevated onboard lifestyle.

The yacht accommodates up to 14 guests. The main deck hosts three cabins, including two double guest cabins and a forward-facing owner’s suite, designed to take full advantage of the yacht’s beam while ensuring maximum privacy and comfort. The lower deck features four additional cabins, three doubles and one twin, all with en-suite bathrooms.

The crew of 14 is accommodated in eight dedicated cabins, ensuring optimal service standards on board.

Powered by two MTU 12V4000M65L engines, delivering 1,771 kW each, the ISA Gran Turismo 68m reaches a top speed of 17.5 knots and cruises comfortably at 14 knots. With an approximate range of 5,000 nautical miles, the yacht is clearly conceived for long-range navigation and global exploration.

With this latest order, ISA Yachts now has 16 superyachts under construction, underscoring the brand’s steady growth and its commitment to engineering excellence, distinctive design, and truly bespoke craftsmanship.
