ISA Yachts' second Unica 45M Steel model moves to outfitting

6 October 2026 • Written by Holly Margerrison

Italian shipyard ISA Yachts, a brand of Palumbo Superyachts, has announced that outfitting has begun on the second hull in its Unica 45M Steel series, following the yacht's earlier sale to a European owner. The 45-metre project is under construction at ISA Yachts' Ancona shipyard, with delivery scheduled for 2028.

The series is designed by Enrico Gobbi – Team for Design, with naval architecture carried out by ISA Yachts. Key features include a steel hull, aluminium superstructure and a substantial fuel capacity of over 60,000 litres, offering a transatlantic range of more than 4,000 nautical miles at 10 knots. The yacht's design, meanwhile, is typified by a slender silhouette both towards the bow and the stern.

The model is defined by its extended deck spaces and signature stern, which unfolds over three levels cascading down to the sea. Amenities here include a sunbathing area, swimming pool and an infinity cockpit bordered by a glass balustrade for uninterrupted views.

The main deck is arranged with a formal dining area, gym and owner’s suite, complete with a lounge, walk-in wardrobe and large en suite. A convertible space on the starboard side can serve as an office or sixth cabin. Meanwhile, the upper deck hosts a second dining area and a bow lounge designed for entertaining.

Up top, the 16-metre sundeck offers a full complement of al fresco living – from double sunpads and a bar to a dining table, lounge seating and a Jacuzzi. Four guest cabins are located below deck (three VIPs and one twin), as well as accommodation for nine crew and a captain’s cabin adjacent to the wheelhouse.

Performance will come from twin CAT C32 engines, enabling a top speed of 15 knots and a cruising speed of 14 knots.

The news comes at a busy time for the yard, which announced in the same day that the second unit of the ISA Classic 65m has also begun outfitting. This year, ISA Yachts has delivered the 67-metre ISA Gran Turismo Sea Raider X, debuted the ISA Viper 130 Fast Naan and ISA GTO 70 at the Cannes Yachting Festival and launched the 80-metre ISA Custom Belita. A 100-metre project is also currently under construction and is set to become the shipyard's new flagship.
