Palumbo Superyachts launches five yachts, has 20 in build

Palumbo Superyachts launched five yachts in 2026 and currently has 20 under construction. The company puts the value of its order book at around €1 billion, according to a statement issued in Ancona on 16 September.

This year's launches were Columbus Atlantique 38m M/Y Principessa Capricciosa, ISA Viper 130 M/Y Fast Naan, ISA GTO 70, ISA Gran Turismo 67m M/Y SEA RAIDER X and ISA Custom 80m M/Y Belita. The five yachts differ in size and construction, and include builds in composite, steel and aluminium.

The largest ISA Yachts projects in build include the ISA GT 100, ISA GT 80, ISA GT 68, ISA Classic 65 and ISA Spectre 62, alongside further yachts from different lines of the brand. The pipeline extends to 100 metres. In addition to steel and aluminium, the yard builds in composite with carbon-fibre reinforcement.

Tailor-made yachts between 80 and 100 metres fall under the ISA Large Yacht Collection. The company describes it as a platform rather than a range of predefined models, in which each project is developed on an established technical base around the owner's vision.

Palumbo Superyachts has acquired a production site in Ortona and new areas in the port of Ancona. The Ortona facility is due to become operational in 2027 and will mainly build large steel and aluminium yachts for ISA Yachts and Columbus Yachts. According to the company, it will increase production capacity and give more flexibility in managing large-scale programmes.

Sole Director Giuseppe Palumbo is personally involved in every new project from the early stages, the company said. "A shipyard's strength is not measured only by the value of its order book or the number of boats under construction. It is measured by the ability to turn commitments into real, delivered yachts, and to do so while continuing to invest in the future," said Palumbo.

The company is also expanding its services for owners. Palumbo Superyachts Atelier provides assistance, maintenance, refit, conversion and upgrade work throughout a yacht's life cycle, handled by a dedicated technical team. Palumbo Superyachts ART advises owners on choosing contemporary artworks for their yachts and residences.

Palumbo Superyachts was established in 2008 with the Columbus Yachts brand and launched its first superyacht, the 54-metre Prima, in 2011. It has two shipyards, in Ancona and Savona, and operates four brands: ISA Yachts, Columbus Yachts, Mondomarine and Extra Yachts.
