Developed under parent company Palumbo Superyachts, the collection builds on engineering and construction experience gained through the ongoing ISA Custom 80 (Belita), ISA Gran Turismo 80 (Project Future), and ISA Gran Turismo 100.
The initiative represents the latest step in the expansion of ISA Yachts' presence in the large yacht market, giving owners the opportunity to commission bespoke yachts while benefiting from a technical platform developed through the construction of several recent projects.
Proven Platform for Fully Custom Projects
ISA Yachts describes the Large Yacht Collection as a framework that supports fully custom yachts rather than a predefined range of models. Owners can develop entirely bespoke layouts, styling and onboard amenities while relying on an established engineering platform already validated through previous large-yacht construction.
According to the shipyard, the approach is intended to provide greater confidence during the design and build process without restricting creativity.
We believe that true luxury today lies in creating a yacht unlike any other, built around those who will experience it.”
Sole Director
Palumbo Superyachts
Giuseppe Palumbo, Sole Director of Palumbo Superyachts, said the objective is to create yachts designed entirely around each owner's vision while drawing on the company's accumulated experience in building yachts up to 100 meters. The launch also signals ISA Yachts' continued focus on the upper end of the superyacht market, where demand for one-off projects remains strong despite increasingly complex technical and regulatory requirements.
Amarcord 82 Opens the Collection
The first yacht developed under the new platform is Amarcord 82, an 82-meter concept created by Italian design studio Nuvolari Lenard. Known for designing many of the industry's most recognizable custom superyachts, the studio has given Amarcord 82 a contemporary profile with sweeping lines, expansive glazing and numerous hull openings intended to strengthen the connection between interior living spaces and the surrounding environment.
Large windows extend throughout the superstructure, allowing natural light to penetrate deep into the interior while providing uninterrupted views from the main social areas. Although presented as a concept, Amarcord 82 demonstrates the flexibility that ISA intends the platform to offer future owners, with exterior styling and layouts capable of evolving to suit individual briefs.
Beach Club and Outdoor Living Take Center Stage
A defining feature of the concept is its aft leisure area, where the stern transforms into an expansive waterside platform directly connected to the beach club. Two fold-down side balconies further increase usable deck space at sea, creating a broad waterfront terrace designed for relaxation and entertaining.
Above, a glass-bottom swimming pool sits on the main deck aft. Beyond serving as a focal point for guests, the transparent pool allows natural light to filter into the beach club below, brightening the lower-level living space.
The upper decks continue the emphasis on outdoor living with multiple lounge areas, alfresco dining spaces and additional pool facilities positioned to maximize panoramic views. Throughout the concept, circulation between interior and exterior spaces has been designed to feel seamless, allowing guests to move easily between the yacht's social areas.
An Owner's Suite Spanning More Than 100 Square Meters
Accommodation has been arranged for up to 12 guests. The owner's suite occupies more than 100 square meters and has been conceived as a private apartment, providing dedicated living space separate from the guest accommodations. Five VIP cabins complete the guest layout, offering generous accommodation across the lower deck.
While interior styling has not been revealed in detail, ISA says the concept has been developed around long-term comfort and livability, making it suitable for extended cruising as well as entertaining.
The emphasis throughout the design is on creating bright, open living spaces with strong visual connections to the sea, supported by large glazed surfaces and carefully positioned outdoor areas.
Backed by Large-Yacht Expertise
The ISA Large Yacht Collection builds on several significant projects currently progressing within Palumbo Superyachts' order book. Construction is underway on the ISA Custom 80, ISA Gran Turismo 80 and flagship ISA Gran Turismo 100, while the delivery of the Columbus Classic 80-meter Dragon provided valuable experience in engineering and constructing yachts within this size category.
Rather than introducing a single flagship model, the new collection establishes a repeatable technical foundation that can support future custom commissions between 80 and 90 meters.
As demand continues to grow for highly personalized superyachts, the approach allows ISA Yachts to reduce technical development work while preserving the flexibility expected in the custom market.
