Ancona Launches New Flagship ISA 120 Megayacht

Looking for a new megayacht? Then first of all you're bound to find you've got some new best friends. And don't forget your friends here at Luxist, who turned you on to Ancona. We've reported on the Italian shipyard's ISA 120 series before, but they've just launched their new flagship 36.5-meter megayacht, and man, does it look good. The semi-displacement hull coupled with triple MTU sixteen-cylinder engines driving 2400 horsepower apiece through twin hydrojets ensures smooth performance all the way up to 36 knots. And that's mighty fast for a ship of this size.

There's plenty of teak lounging space up on the decks, while inside there are five cabins for you and your guests, plus crew's quarters for six, all laid out on a two-deck plan and offering infinite customization options to suit your tastes. And may we add, if this is where your taste has brought you, it's very good taste indeed.

ISA Yachts Launches Firouzeh

The last yacht I featured was another Ancona launch and also a bright white motor yacht, but there the similarities end. This yacht, Firouzeh, is the sixth yacht of the ISA 120 series from ISA yachts and was recently revealed. The 36-meter (118 feet) yacht is built for speed. Yesterday's 141-foot Emerald Star glides along at a cruising speed of 13 knots while Firouzeh prowls the water at a 30 knot cruising speed and maxes out at 36 knots. She is powered by three MTU 2000 hp engines with two lateral water jets and a central booster jet. The trade off for the sleek look is less open air deck space of the kind we saw on the Emerald Star. The interior was designed by the Cristiano Gatto Design Team and there seem to be some mockups on their website (look under 2007, ISA 120) that hint at a very modern style with dark furnishings, pale walls and innovative use of glass and wood.
