CONTINENTAL 80 and 65 meters introduce the new CONTINENTAL range designed by Arch. Enrico Gobbi, Team for Design, for ISA Yachts.
ISA CONTINENTAL 80 is a steel and aluminium yacht with very architectural, well-balanced volumes and ‘flowing’ lines.
Its external design is highlighted by squared and rigorous side-bands of windows that provide incredible panoramic views to all the main internal areas.
A distinctive detail is given by the terraces in the mid-section of the boat; in particular the one on the Upper Deck looks like a real balcony that contributes to flooding the salon with light.
Just as bathed in natural light are also other strategic indoor areas such as the gym in the Sky lounge and the Upper and Main Deck salons.
Another emblematic feature of this yacht is the aft infinity pool. Rectangular in shape, it develops across the width of the yacht and is distinguished by its aft containment wall formed by 2 glass plates with water flowing between them.
So arranged, the pool leaves ample space for large sun-loungers and convivial activities, transforming this area of the Main Deck into an extension of the beach club below.
The beach club platform on the Lower Deck is fitted with a large bar and a mega wall-mounted TV screen which, when the transom door is open, confers a very scenic effect to the whole stern.
When closed, the transom door is characterized by a black trapezoid that represents a distinctive feature of the CONTINENTAL line and that, in addition to the name of the boat, houses the windows for natural interior lighting.
Moving to the forward Sky-lounge, we find the panoramic jacuzzi with the large sun-pads deliberately raised to ensure a splendid view.
The Upper Deck can be considered a true owner-deck with a living room and day areas at the stern and the owner’s suite at the bow.
Equipped also with touch-&-go helipad, it allows landing passengers to directly access the ship-owner’s quarters in maximum privacy.
The exterior design is completed by two imposing stylized chimneys – which in addition to their primary function also serve to balance the proportions of the yacht – and a vast use of stainless steel that adds a modern touch as well as highlighting the windows and terraces.
Provided with 7 cabins to accommodate up to 12 passengers assisted by 19 crew members housed in 10 cabins, the yacht is equipped with two MTU 16V4000M63L engines reaching a maximum speed of 17 knots and a cruising speed of 12 knots with a range of 6200 nautical miles.
ISA CONTINENTAL 65 – TO PURSUE YOUR SENSE OF BEAUTY
The naval architecture of the CONTINENTAL 65 metres provides for a steel hull and an aluminium superstructure with an exclusive style to which its designer, Arch. Enrico Gobbi of TEAM for Design, has applied more sinuous and less architectural lines compared to its 80-metre version, so as to make it apparently longer and more dynamic.
Very important is the stern where the structure rises all the way to the Upper Deck to ascribe a slender element also to the vertical profile of the yacht.
To flood the interiors of CONTINENTAL 65 with natural light are the big squared windows distinctive of the CONTINENTAL range.
As for the specious rectangular pool, in this case it develops along the length of the bridge and astern is delimited by a single-glass containment wall, while the opposite wall – also in glass – extends vertically up to the ceiling to act as a backdrop for a waterfall, separating the pool from the remaining deck arranged as a living area.
So laid out, the pool leaves ample space for sun-loungers and transforms this portion of the Main Deck into an extension of the actual beach club below.
