ISA Yachts, a brand of Palumbo Superyachts, has announced a construction milestone for its first Viper 130 model, with the hull now preparing for outfitting at the yard's facilities in Ancona, Italy.

The 37.7-metre planing model was sold to an American client a mere two months after the full Viper line was unveiled by ISA Yachts in May 2024. The buyer was introduced by Zarpo Yachts, which previously managed the sale of the 42-metre Columbus Crossover model from ISA's sister brand.

A standout feature on board the Viper 130 is its cockpit, which has been laid out into three distinct zones: a lounge space with sofa seating, a coffee table, a large sunpad and side-opening balconies; an al fresco dining space for eight; and the beach club, which is equipped with a multifunctional transformer. There is also a combined galley and bar, fitted with a tinted glass partition that tailors it to show cooking and more informal occasions.

Accommodation is across five cabins, all situated on the lower deck. The owner's cabin has a double bathroom and can be configured amidships to take advantage of the 7.9-metre beam or in the bow for a large, walk-in closet.

Floor-to-ceiling windows allow for bright and airy living spaces

The main deck features a second combined bar-galley and a saloon furnished with semi-circular sofas, armchairs and a 10-seater table. Interior space is also maximised by a singular, port-side walkway to the bow, while another balcony amidships provides direct ocean views from the sofas. The wheelhouse is also found on the main deck.

Meanwhile, the sundeck includes the second helm station, two large sunpads at the stern and a lounge area with sofas, an L-shaped bar and a 12-seater table. Another communal space is the bow, arranged with a circular pool, sunloungers and sofa seating.

A garage for a five-metre tender has been placed on the starboard side.

Equipped with three MAN or MTU engines, the Viper 130 is expected to reach a maximum speed of 33 knots and a cruising speed of 26 knots.

The ISA Viper line comprises three models: the Viper 100, Viper 130 and Viper 140.
