50 knots of pure speed. The sporting essence of ISA Yachts – ISA GTO 70ft
ISA Yachts, a Palumbo Superyachts brand, presents the new ISA GTO 70ft, 22 metres of technology, power and adrenaline, capable of reaching a top speed of 50 knots.
A supersport model created for those who experience the sea through speed, control and uncompromising performance. The ISA GTO 70ft embodies an essential part of ISA Yachts’ DNA and carries it into a new generation of ultra-high-performance yachts.
This DNA is deeply rooted in the brand’s history. High speed and powerful propulsion systems have defined some of the shipyard’s most iconic models, including the ISA 120ft Sport.
With the ISA GTO 70ft, this vocation is reinterpreted through new technologies, advanced composite materials and an engineering platform developed around one clear objective: turning power into control.
Designed by Galeazzi Design, responsible for both the exterior lines and the interiors, the ISA GTO 70ft offers a contemporary interpretation of the luxury speed yacht concept. Its profile is low, aggressive and dynamic, with taut, continuous surfaces that visually convey speed even before the yacht begins to move.
Compact, lightweight and uncompromisingly performance-oriented, the ISA GTO 70ft is built around an ultra-high-performance planing hull developed by the ISA Yachts naval engineering team through extensive computational fluid dynamics (CFD) studies, with the aim of ensuring stability, efficiency and precise control even at the highest speeds.
ASD Arneson surface-drive propulsion, paired with two 1,800 hp MAN V12 engines, enables the new ISA GTO 70ft to reach a top speed of 50 knots. A version with 2,000 hp engines is also available, capable of propelling the ISA GTO 70ft to a top speed of 55 knots.
The extensive use of carbon fibre in the hull and superstructure keeps displacement to a minimum and places the model in the ultra-light, high-performance yacht category, enhancing its acceleration, responsiveness and dynamic handling.
The design does not simply complement the performance: it is its direct expression.
The hull and superstructure, finished in Ice Blue Metallic, offer a bold reinterpretation of several distinctive ISA Yachts design cues, while the continuous flow of the surfaces accentuates the yacht’s longitudinal profile and gives it an instantly recognisable presence.
At the stern, a multifunctional transformer integrates the passerelle and swim ladder, adapting access to the sea to the different demands of life on board.
The helm station features advanced navigation and monitoring systems designed to provide the captain with information at a glance, precision and maximum control—essential qualities aboard a yacht capable of delivering this level of performance.
The interiors follow the same design philosophy as the yacht, combining lightweight, high-performance materials with the quality of Italian craftsmanship.
The palette favours warm shades of beige and white, paired with Nabuk leather upholstery and bed surrounds, creating a contemporary environment that balances the project’s distinctly technological character.
The layout accommodates guests in three en-suite cabins: the owner’s cabin forward, a twin cabin amidships and the VIP cabin aft.
Up to two crew members are accommodated in a separate cabin, while the galley, located below deck, is fully separated from the guest area, ensuring privacy and functionality throughout the stay on board.
With the ISA GTO 70ft, ISA Yachts reaffirms one of the most authentic elements of its identity: the ability to combine extreme performance, technological research and Italian design in yachts with an instantly recognisable character.
