ISA Yachts, part of the Palumbo Group, will this week be attending this year’s Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, the world’s largest international boat show.
For the first time in the shipyard’s history, a ISA yacht will be displayed in the US: the ISA Sport 120-foot, launched in Ancona in July 2017, marks a true transition towards a completely renewed course of the Palumbo Group, aiming to gain a direct presence on the most important markets in the world, including the American one.
The entity of the brand’s relaunch is proved by the order book of yachts that are already in construction in the Ancona facilities: the steel-and-aluminium Columbus 80 M is being built in the new shed and construction has started also on the recently sold ISA Alloy 43 M and ISA 65 M.
Furthermore, the GT 67, successor of the instant classic GT 66 ‘Okto’, and the Extra 76-foot (24 M), a semi-displacement composite yacht, designed by Francesco Guida for ISA Yachts, are also under way in Ancona.
These numbers are the best evidence of the shipyard’s new era, with huge investments by the new ownership and a thorough effort to design new models, increasing the presence on the most important markets in the world and taking employment and production capacity to the maximum level.
