February 4, 2026 – ISA Yachts, a brand of Palumbo Superyachts, announces the start of construction of the new ISA Gran Turismo 68m, marked today by the traditional keel-laying ceremony.
The ISA Gran Turismo 68m is a superyacht combining timeless lines, absolute customization, and a distinctive identity, tailor-made around the desires of each owner.
Designed by Vallicelli Design for the exterior lines and by Team for Design – Enrico Gobbi for the interiors, this new jewel of the sea represents a perfect balance between sportiness and elegance, reinterpreting ISA’s iconic stylistic language in a contemporary key.
With a steel hull and aluminum superstructure, the ISA Gran Turismo 68m features a dynamic and powerful silhouette, enhanced by emblematic brand elements such as the connecting arches between the three decks and the circular dining area on the main deck, a distinctive signature of the range.
The design is conceived to enhance the direct relationship with the ocean: opening platforms at beach club level expand the liveable space, creating an area dedicated to wellness and socializing, complete with gym, lounge, and spa.
Aft, the spectacular swimming pool takes center stage, flanked by a striking outdoor area designed to offer an onboard experience of the highest level—both spectacular and functional.
The layout accommodates up to 14 guests and includes three cabins on the main deck: two double guest cabins and the forward owner’s suite, designed to maximize beam width and ensure absolute comfort and privacy.
Four additional double cabins are located on the lower deck—three doubles and one twin—all with en-suite bathrooms.
The crew consists of 14 members, accommodated in 8 cabins.
Powered by two MTU 12V4000M65L engines, each delivering 1,771 kW, the ISA Gran Turismo 68m reaches a top speed of 17.5 knots, with a cruising speed of 14 knots. Range is approximately 5,000 nautical miles, confirming a truly ocean-going vocation, designed for owners who wish to go further.
With this new order, the number of ISA Yachts currently under construction rises to 16 units, confirming the brand’s solidity and steady growth in the superyacht segment, driven by a vision that combines engineering excellence, iconic design, and bespoke service.
