ISA Yachts unveils new Viper line with first 38m model in production

Italian shipyard ISA Yachts has unveiled the ISA Viper, a new superyacht line comprising three models: the Viper 100, Viper 120 and Viper 140. Production has already begun on the first unit in the 38-metre Viper 120 series, with delivery scheduled for 2026.

Fulvio De Simoni is responsible for exterior and interior design, marking his first collaboration with the Palumbo Superyachts brand. Naval architecture has been completed in house. All models will be built in composite with carbon fibre reinforcements. 

A standout feature on board the Viper 120 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; 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. 

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 120 is expected to reach a maximum speed of 33 knots and a cruising speed of 26 knots.

This follows the reveal of the first in build images of ISA Yachts' largest yacht to date, a custom 80-metre project designed by another first-time collaborator – Espen Øino.
