ISA Yacht, a brand under Palumbo Superyachts, has unveiled its latest masterpiece, the ISA GT 45 M/Y Aria SF, a 45-meter sports yacht designed across three decks. The naval architecture was executed by the technical department at Palumbo Superyachts, while the exterior design was crafted by the Palumbo Superyachts Design Team – Enrico Gobbi, and the interior was conceived by Luca Dini Design & Architecture.
Onboard the ISA GT 45, comfort takes precedence and the distinction between exterior and interior spaces is blurred, allowing the sea, light, and air to play central roles in every area. With five cabins—two VIP cabins and two doubles with adjustable beds—Aria SF accommodates up to 10 guests. The full-beam master cabin is situated at the front of the main deck, which includes an entrance/lounge and a private staircase leading directly to the outdoor lounge.
The owner’s preferred themes, including waves, sand, rocks, corals, wind, and speed, have been abstractly reflected on the bulkheads behind the textured resin beds as well as on the walls of the heads and interior stairways through the use of wallpaper.
The interiors are characterized by light oak, bleached teak, lacquer, carbon, steel, and glass; dark metal accents contrast with the overall brightness of the rooms.
The saloon and cockpit areas can be expanded by opening the windows, while curtains on all sides provide sun protection. A circular window at the rear of the upper deck leads to the formal dining room, which can seat 10 guests around a round table.
An outdoor gym is located on the fly deck, and a telescope is positioned at the bow.
The ISA GT 45 Aria SF features numerous carbon fiber elements crafted by Tecno Tessile Adler, including the aft hatch that conceals the beach club and the frieze embedded in the forward hull. A pool at the rear of the main deck allows natural light to illuminate the beach club below.
A side-opening garage on the starboard side of the lower deck accommodates a 5-meter tender, while a hangar at the front stores the rescue boat and two jet skis, which can be launched using a hydraulic crane.
Aria’s crew comprises seven members distributed across three double cabins, with an additional cabin for the captain located on the upper deck.
The hull of the ISA GT 45 is constructed from steel with an aluminum superstructure; it is powered by two CAT C32 ACERT engines, each generating 1300 hp, allowing for a top speed of 16 knots and a cruising speed of 14.5 knots. The ISA GT 45 M/Y Aria SF will be showcased at the upcoming Cannes and Monaco 2022 boat shows.
