ISA Yachts announces the start of construction, on spec, of the second hull of the ISA VIPER 130, with delivery scheduled for March 2028.

The first unit has been sold to an American client and is currently under construction at Palumbo Superyachts’ shipyard in Ancona, Italy. It is set to be launched this summer and will make its world debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026.

The planing composite and carbon-fiber hull of ISA Viper 130 is 38.8 meters long with a beam of 7.85 meters. With a draft of just 1.55 meters, she is an ideal yacht for shallow waters.

Powered by three MAN engines of 2200 cv each, paired with two waterjets and an MJP booster, Viper 130 reaches a top speed of 35 knots. The design, entrusted to Fulvio De Simoni’s vision for both exterior and interior, is combined with naval engineering developed in-house by ISA Yachts, resulting in a yacht that speaks the language of power and purity.

The cockpit, arranged over three distinct levels, is one of the most iconic areas of ISA Viper 130. Directly connected to the sea is the aft beach area, equipped with a transformer featuring swim ladder and gangway. Two lateral steps lead up to the large sunpad facing aft and the lounge area with sofas and a coffee table. The opening of the two side balconies further enhances the perception of space, offering outstanding liveability. The third level is dedicated to the outdoor dining table, designed to accommodate up to twelve guests.

The aft galley, paired with the bar, creates a striking scenographic effect and can be separated by an up/down darkened glass panel, allowing flexible use of the space: from show cooking and informal cocktail parties to a fully enclosed galley, ensuring maximum guest privacy. To the left of the bar is the staircase leading to the sundeck. A second layout is also available, with the galley positioned forward for total privacy.

To maximize interior volumes, the forward side deck has been kept only on the port side. Midships, near the saloon, an opening balcony provides a privileged view even from inside, strengthening the continuous dialogue between interior and exterior.

Forward, the bow area features a circular pool surrounded by sunpads and sofas, conceived as an exclusive relaxation space.

Interiors open with a second bar leading into the main saloon, flooded with natural light thanks to large floor-to-ceiling opening windows. Semi-circular sofas, armchairs, and a round table for ten guests define an elegant, fluid, and strongly contemporary setting.

The wheelhouse is located forward on the main deck. To its right, the staircase leads to the lower deck, which accommodates up to 10 guests in four double cabins with en-suite bathrooms, as well as the owner’s cabin, featuring two bathrooms with a spacious central shower.

The sundeck, characterized by a carbon hardtop, includes a second helm station and offers a private, versatile space entirely dedicated to guests. The layout includes two large aft sunpads, a lounge area with sofas, an L-shaped bar, and a table able to seat up to ten guests.

Crew access, for a total of six members including the captain, distributed across three cabins with en-suite bathrooms, is located inside the galley, ensuring maximum discretion in service.

The 5-meter tender garage is located on the starboard side.
