ISA Yachts, a distinguished brand under the Palumbo Superyachts umbrella, has marked a significant construction milestone with the arrival of the first Viper 130 hull at its Ancona shipyard for outfitting. This 37.7-metre planing yacht is the first in the newly launched Viper series, which debuted in May 2024.
The Viper 130 was sold just two months after the model’s official reveal, underscoring the market’s strong response to ISA’s bold new design direction. The yacht was acquired by an American owner introduced by Zarpo Yachts, which also previously facilitated the sale of a Columbus Crossover model from ISA’s sister brand.
Bold Design Meets Intelligent Living
One of the Viper 130’s standout features is its multi-zone cockpit, crafted for both relaxation and social gathering. The area includes a lounge with sofa seating and a coffee table, a generous sunpad with side-opening balconies, and an al fresco dining space for eight. The aft beach club is outfitted with a multifunctional transformer, blending luxury with accessibility.
The yacht’s main galley is paired with a sleek bar concept, separated by a tinted glass partition that allows for “show cooking” and informal entertaining. A second galley-bar unit is located on the main deck, next to a bright, contemporary saloon arranged with semi-circular sofas, armchairs, and a 10-seater dining table. Panoramic, floor-to-ceiling windows maximize natural light and ocean views throughout.
Versatile Owner Experience
Accommodation is spread across five cabins on the lower deck, including a full-beam owner’s suite that can be placed either amidships—with direct benefit of the yacht’s 7.9-metre beam—or forward, where it includes a spacious walk-in closet. The owner’s area also features a double bathroom layout.
A balcony midship offers additional direct water views, while an asymmetric, port-side-only passage to the bow allows for a roomier interior layout.
Elevated Outdoor Living
The sundeck provides further entertainment possibilities with a second helm station, twin sunpads at the stern, an L-shaped bar, and a 12-person dining table. Forward, the bow area includes a circular pool, loungers, and wrap-around sofa seating for panoramic relaxation.
A garage on the starboard side accommodates a five-metre tender, ensuring guests can easily explore nearby destinations.
Performance Meets Style
Powered by a choice of three MAN or MTU engines, the Viper 130 is designed to reach a top speed of 33 knots and cruise comfortably at 26 knots, blending speed with stability.
The Viper range from ISA Yachts includes three models: the Viper 100, Viper 130, and Viper 140 — all expressing the brand’s commitment to innovation, performance, and cutting-edge design.
With the Viper 130 now in outfitting, anticipation is building for its delivery and future sea debut. ISA Yachts continues to prove why it remains at the forefront of contemporary superyacht construction.
