ISA Sportivo 120

A 37-metre sports profile is the idea behind the ISA Sportivo 120: a low, purposeful motor yacht built for pace rather than volume. ISA is building her now, drawing on the styling language it uses on its larger sport yachts, with delivery due in 2028.

Build and provenance

She is a monohull built in Italy,, and at 235 gross tons she carries real volume inside her sport lines. Delivery is due in 2028, so a buyer is purchasing a yacht still in build rather than one with a service history to inspect.

Layout and accommodation

Eight guests sleep across four cabins, each with its own bathroom, a private-cabin count that suits a sport yacht built around speed rather than a house full of shared spaces. A crew of three runs her, a compact number that matches her size and her role as a fast, owner-driven yacht rather than a full-service charter boat.

Performance and engineering

Three MTU 16V2000M96L engines give the Sportivo 120 a 30-knot cruise and a 36-knot top speed, figures that put her closer to a sports yacht than a long-range cruiser. That pace calls for a hull built to handle it, not just to look fast at the dock.

On deck and at anchor

A jacuzzi sits in the bow,: the two spaces built for time at anchor rather than time at the dock.

Where she lies and how to see her

She is being built in Italy. We arrange every viewing for her and go along ourselves, and once an offer on her is accepted, the survey and sea trial follow before handover.
