News: ISA Yachts Present 'Route 66' Superyacht

66.40-meter 'Route 66' Superyacht by ISA Yachts
​

After the official presentation at the FLIBS 2014, where the project drew a large attention, ISA YACHTS is happy to present its latest concept design named ROUTE 66, in honor of the famous legendary American highway crossing the States from Illinois to California. The concept behind the ROUTE 66 is to emphasize the outdoor experience of a yacht without compromising the space and comfort that the owner would expect from a steel and aluminum displacement yacht. The overall beauty of yachts over the years has been lost to interior space, on the contrary ROUTE 66’s offers space for owners who love the sea and like to be outside. ROUTE 66 is a motor yacht with lots of space in relation to the total volume and her lines are sleek and graceful. The design does not achieve extra deck space by stacking the decks, there is not the piled-up effect – one layer after the other, the philosophy of the whole concept is to guarantee the owners the space and comfort they would expect.

Developed from the 65-meter Granturismo platform, this full displacement yacht is a 4-decks vessel with aluminum superstructure and steel hull which the architectural structure is based on a strong contrast between the harmonious and curvaceous lines of the decks and the rigorous and diamond-like geometry of the transom and of the sundeck. The hull shape and bow are optimized for both efficiency and comfort. Her 11-meter beam confer ROUTE 66 a sleek and elegant line.

The interior layout emphasize the osmosis between indoor and outdoor areas. The main deck saloon presents the idea of a lounge which opens to the cockpit with a unique perception of spaces. The dining room, situated forward of the the salon, totally enjoys the light coming from the full height side bulkhead windows. The enormous beach area can be easily shaped as a real sensorial SPA, as the layout easily allows a sauna, an emotional shower, an hamman. The interior layout is completed by the 5 guest cabins plus the master suite, so that ROUTE 66 can accommodate 12 guests. Forward the flush deck can easily enclose an helipad. Mooring area and tender garage for 8m-rescue tender and jet skies are underneath this area.

The main tender garage is located starboard on the lower deck opposite to the gym. Powered by 2 CAT engines, this 66M designed by Andrea Vallicelli, can reach 18-knots max and cruises at 16-knots. Thanks to a spectacular stern and an aggressive plum bow, this outstanding 66-meters is destined to become an icon yacht in its segment. The naval architecture is developed in-house by ISA Yachts Technical Department. ISA Yachts is happy to present the interior impressions of the beach club and main salon made by Laura Pomponi from Luxury Projects (upon request). ISA 66M ROUTE 66 is under construction and due to be delivered in spring 2017.
