Based out of Ancona, Italy, ISA Yachts specialises in the construction of semi-custom fibreglass, steel and aluminium superyachts ranging from 30 to 80 metres in length. Dedicated to building forward-thinking and innovative superyachts characterised by avant-garde design and superior quality construction, the shipyard also aims to develop environmentally responsible yachts.
Founded in 2001 by maritime experts Enrico Gobbi and Fabio Perini, ISA Yachts is the result of their shared vision to create superyachts that transcend conventional standards. The shipyard was acquired by Palumbo Superyachts network, which includes Columbus Yachts, Mondomarine, and Extra Yachts, in 2016, a strategic move which provided ISA Yachts with enhanced resources and manufacturing capabilities while maintaining its independent design philosophy. The shipyard’s DNA is rooted in pushing boundaries through innovation, combining cutting-edge technology with the finest materials and furnishings to create uniquely tailored superyachts for each owner’s specifications. The shipyard recently expanded its production capabilities with expanded facilities in Ancona, strengthening its position in the yachting industry. In addition to new builds, ISA Yachts offers refit services through the Palumbo Superyachts network, with modernisation and customisation programmes. The shipyard’s current portfolio consists of nine series, including the Granturismo line, available in seven sizes and options, the Classic collection featuring the 65-metre model, and the newly launched Unica series with the 40-metre Alloy and the 45-metre steel variant. One of the most notable projects delivered to date remains the 66.4-metre OKTO, delivered in 2014 and the inaugural Granturismo model that established the yard’s international reputation. Currently under construction are three 80-metre Continental hulls simultaneously at the Ancona facility, with the third unit commencing construction on speculation for Q1 2028 delivery.
