We will focus on ISA 600 yachts in particular in this reading, together with rich photo coverage of the interior. This series is available in two different versions of exterior styling, created with close collaboration with two renowned masters of the Italian design, Walter Franchini and Andrea Vallicelli. Both versions are completely equal in size, technology and luxury level, they have a completely different souls. The deck’s styling and the shape of the stern has some dissimilarities and brings to light some different ideas. The photos of the interior of ISA 600 in this text are from the Walter Franchini version of ISA 600 yacht.

The Main Technical Data:
The new yacht ISA is based on the concept project and naval architecture by the ISATechnical Department team. She is compliant with the LRoS (Lloyd’s Register of Shipping), Maltese Cross 100A1 SSC YACHT (P) MONO G6, LMC and UMS classification regulations, as well as with the MCA (Maritime and Coastguard Agency), Code of Practice, LY2 Unrestricted regulations.
The new ISA 600 is built exclusively from metal, with steel used in the hull with a lots of other metals used to reinforce the structure and aluminium alloy for the superstructure above. The yachts is equipped with bulb at the bow, and the stern skeg and an additional stabilization system with two pairs of fins placed at the front of the ship and at the back.

As we mentioned before ISA 600 is 60.5 meters long, with a length at waterline of almost 54 meters, and a distance between perpendiculars is more than 52 meters. The yacht’s maximum beam is 12 meters and she has a maximum draught of more than 3 meters when fully loaded. The unit’s displacement is 980 tons with a medium load, and 1042 when it is filled to the maximum.

The ISA 600’s engine room will be fitted with twin Caterpillar twelve-cylinder V/type diesel engines, CAT 3512C-HD DiTA rating C series, each with 1765 kw of output, equivalent to 2365 horsepower, delivered at engine speed of 1800 rpm. This set-up with allow the new ISA 600 to reach a top speed of 16.5 knots, with a cruising speed of 14.5 knots.

When traveling at a cruising speed of 14 knots, the yacht will be able to achieve a range of 2700 nautical miles, partly thanks to her capacious fuel tanks, which can hold 124 thousand liters of fuel. Freshwater on board ISA 600 will be supplied by specific tanks, containing up to 25 thousand liters of liquid.
Meanwhile, the onboard energy requirements will be met by the three main generator sets, based on six-cylinder inline Caterpillar diesel generators from the CAT C9 DiTA series, each providing 200 kilowatts. A dedicated emergency generator set is on hand if needed.

The ISA 600’s equipment also includes one rescue and service tender, and two waverunners. These are stored outside on the fore deck, while the two main tenders and a further two waverunners are stored inside in twin garages on the lower deck, both of which have side hatches.

The exterior styling and the interior design

Exotic and elegant, calm and assuring, avant-garde interior is just an addition of the bold, powerful exterior styling created by Walter Franchini’s Italian studio and gives a strong impression at first sight. In our opinion, ISA 600 is glowing with prestige and luxury, has a very majestic elegance and robust look. Sporty Jet-Set image is not sacrificed but it is incorporated in its genes, and it looks and glides on the waves as well as it please our eyes. The superstructure above and the hull look like they are born together in one moment, not welded and assembled carefully in many work hours.
Monumental combination of strong character and sleek authoritarian presence is achieved with carefully hand-picked forms and visual elements to form a harmonious, balanced impression. Soft curvy lines are in masterful cooperation with straight lines at places where it is needed.

An abundance of space inside welcomes the guests, and there can be a large number of them. Modern language is present everywhere and is perfectly wrapped with mystic past style and spirit. Every little thing is perfectly located and you can think of no other better location for it. Majestic terraces are one a top the other in a rising sequence: some are partially covered, some are fully open air, so choose your place for enjoying the sun and view, while calm breeze is your touching your face gently. The alfresco dining table in the main saloon is a true wonder and is one of the top places to enjoy your meals together with chosen company.

Famous and remarkable Italian shipyard ISA, International Shipyard Ancona, has stood to its maxim of constant technology advancement and permanent design improvement as a basis for construction and equipping some of the most luxurious yachts and Superyachts in the world.

ISA project begun in 1998 as an initiative between several managers from Ancona with an expertise in building large ships. They agreed with the common goal to build ultimate pleasure and luxury yachts. They have managed to build their first yacht, 47.5 meters In length, with steel hull and aluminium upped body (superstructure).
State of the art production facility alone is huge, with over 45 thousand m2, of which about a third are roofed. This is particularly important as ISA is able to see complete projects in-house from the start to the finish line, when building new ships or refitting old ones. And the huge work area of the shipyard and warehouses means that that ISA is open for working on big projects, on ships ranging from 36 to 90 meters in length. In 2006 ISA was taken over by Yachting Investors Group and got its much needed funding and became ready for much larger and more expensive projects. Experience of the skilled workers, talented and highly professional interior and exterior designers and premium level of managers now form an unbeatable team in the yachting business.

The specialized and skilled workers behind the ISA are using technologies of tomorrow to bring you the ultimate joy and luxury in today’s world. High-precision machinery, talented designers and motivating working atmosphere will result in fantastic big ships, sleek and modern, powerful and contemporary. You have two choices; you can order some of their yachts in composite, steel or aluminium.
Composite range comprises the well-know ISA 120 series, which is very important for ISA as one of the best selling models, and a newly developed ISA 140 series, something new and unique, extraordinary soon to appear range that ISA has an extremely high hopes for.

Speaking about the metal yachts with steel heel and aluminium structure is much more extensive. It comprises several models that can be further enhanced to meet the customer desires and requirements. Among them are famous and successful ISA 470 and ISA 480 series, which are continuing to show great interest among the rich and informed people. Going up in size and ISA 500 is appearing, but it is yet under construction. It is very large in size, having 50 meters in length, ordered last year by some lucky people. We will witness its delivery in the first quarter of 2010. Even larger is ISA 560, cutting-edge 56-meter ship, meeting all you have dreamed of. Next step is ISA 600, which is currently being built and is scheduled to be ready in summer 2010, and ISA 601 yacht with the same size and can be seen on the website of the manufacturer. For the next several years, even larger yachts are being planned and the production process is being adjusted to meet all the requirements. ISA 630 will appear next, whose contract was signed during the Monaco Yacht Show 2007 and is targeted for 2011, the ISA 660, 66 meters in length, also available on the ISA’s website. And in the near future, we will also witness the ISA 740 being born. This huge, encyclopedic vessel, 74 meters in length was announced first in 2008, during the Monaco Yachts Show 2008 and is expected to be ready in 2012. There are some plans for even bigger yachts, but it is all speculation now, and you will hear first when we have some real news on ISA yachts.
