ISA presents the Sportivo series, consisting of the 100, 120 and 140. Enrico Gobbi from the Team for Design studio gave the GRP-carbon trio various reminiscences of the world of large sports cars, starting with the ventilation flaps at the rear, which are reminiscent of headlights. As a visual highlight, he gave the 44-metre-long flagship an extra-long, military-style windscreen, which pulls the body of the 140 far forward and imitates the bonnet of a coupé. At the rear of the 240-tonne boat, the cockpit slopes down in the shape of a terrace, the sun loungers merge into a sofa bench, from where guests can jump down into the pool or take a few steps to the bathing platform. The tender and toys are parked in a large garage on the port side and are lowered into the water using a gantry crane.
The shipyard has planned a lounge area on the foredeck. The long terrace offers sun loungers plus a jacuzzi and turns into an open-air cinema in the evening. Those looking for a sunny spot during the day will find it on the large flybridge. In addition to a lounge corner dominated by armchairs and a sofa, there is also a dining area for ten people. The owners retreat to the lower deck to sleep; their suite makes almost full use of the nine metre wide hull. Thanks to three additional suites, up to eight guests can sleep on board.
Fin stabilisers reduce the rolling motion while underway and at anchor. Two MTU engines, each with an output of 3440 kilowatts, propel the semi-glider to a maximum of 32 knots, while Palumbo specifies a cruising speed of 26 knots. The 31,000 litres of diesel in the tanks are sufficient for a maximum of 540 nautical miles. The smaller sister, the Sportivo 120, adopts the philosophy of the larger model and also accommodates eight guests. However, it is equipped with three MTU packages of 1939 kilowatts each, so that it can rush through the water at a maximum of 36 knots and cruise at a relaxed 30 knots. The Sportivo 100 will be the first model in the series of three to be launched in 2025.
