ISA Granturismo 66M

Two MTU 12V4000M65L engines give the ISA Granturismo 66M a sixteen-knot cruise and a top speed of eighteen and a half knots, figures that mark her as a fast-displacement design rather than a slow ocean-crosser. ISA is building her now, in steel, for delivery in 2029, at sixty-six metres and 1,200 gross tonnes. Work is under way at the yard in Ancona.

Build and provenance

The Granturismo 66M is the newest evolution of ISA's Granturismo line, built in steel with exterior and interior design by Enrico Gobbi of Team for Design. At sixty-six metres, with an eleven-metre beam and a draft of 3.3 metres, she carries 1,200 gross tonnes, the volume a steel-hulled yacht of this length is built to hold. For a buyer, an in-build listing means ordering her ahead of completion, with delivery set for 2029.

Layout and accommodation

Fourteen guests are accommodated across seven staterooms, a full-beam master suite plus six further guest cabins, with a crew of fourteen to run her. A sky lounge doubles as a dining room, a gym or a panoramic lounge depending on the hour, and a wellness area with a spa completes the amenities.

Performance and engineering

Those two MTU 12V4000M65L engines also give her a range of about 4,500 nautical miles, distance built for long passages rather than short coastal hops. Pace and range together are the point of a displacement hull built at this length: sixteen knots to cover ground, with the tankage to keep going.

Where she lies and how to see her

She is under construction in Ancona, Italy. We can arrange a visit to see how the build is progressing, and if an offer is agreed before delivery, we handle the paperwork through to a survey and sea trial once she is ready to hand over.
