PALUMBO SUPERYACHTS THE STRENGTH OF A JOURNEY TOWARDS THE FUTURE
Five new yachts in a single year, projects under construction measuring up to 100 metres, an order book worth approximately €1 billion, and production capacity set to expand further with the new Ortona shipyard and additional facilities in the Port of Ancona. For Palumbo Superyachts, 2026 represents not only a particularly significant year in terms of results, but above all confirmation of the strength of an industrial enterprise built over time through continuous investment in infrastructure, engineering, design, people and product development.
Over the course of the year, five yachts took shape, each profoundly different in size, construction characteristics and design philosophy: 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. More eloquently than any set of figures, these projects demonstrate Palumbo Superyachts’ ability to operate across different segments simultaneously, managing composite, steel and aluminium builds while maintaining the same standards of quality, precision and reliability.
From the performance of the ISA GTO 70 and ISA Viper 130, through the Columbus Atlantique 38m, to the construction complexity of the ISA Gran Turismo 67m M/Y SEA RAIDER X and ISA Custom 80m M/Y Belita, 2026 presents the picture of a shipyard capable of delivering projects that vary enormously in scale, materials and complexity.
This diversification is not merely commercial; it reflects the depth of Palumbo Superyachts’ industrial and technical organisation. Consolidated engineering expertise, production infrastructure and shipbuilding experience enable the different brands to develop projects with distinctly individual identities while drawing on the same construction know-how. Palumbo Superyachts currently has 20 yachts under construction, with a pipeline ranging from 20 to 100 metres and expertise encompassing steel, aluminium and carbon-fibre-reinforced composites.
“The strength of a shipyard is not measured solely by the value of its order book or the number of yachts under construction. It is measured by its ability to turn commitments into real, delivered yachts, while continuing to invest in the future,” says Giuseppe Palumbo, Sole Director of Palumbo Superyachts. “The five yachts completed in 2026 differ greatly in size, materials, performance and complexity, yet they share something fundamental: behind each one stands the same industrial organisation, the same engineering expertise and the same responsibility towards the Owner. For us, growth does not simply mean building larger yachts or increasing numbers. It means strengthening, year after year, the structure that enables us to keep the promises we make to our clients. This is the reliability on which we intend to build the future of Palumbo Superyachts.”
The continuity of this journey is already evident in the 20 yachts currently under construction. The largest ISA Yachts projects include the ISA GT 100, ISA GT 80, ISA GT 68, ISA Classic 65 and ISA Spectre 62, alongside further builds across the brand’s various ranges. The simultaneous presence of numerous projects over 60 metres confirms that the construction of large custom yachts has become a structural component of Palumbo Superyachts’ business.
The ISA Large Yacht Collection is also part of this journey, dedicated to large tailor-made yachts from 80 to 100 metres. Rather than a range of predefined models, it is a platform combining a proven technical foundation with the freedom to develop each project around the Owner’s vision, through the direct dialogue between client, shipyard and design team that defines the Palumbo Superyachts approach.
Further support for this growth will come from the new Ortona production site, a strategic investment due to become operational in 2027 and intended primarily for the construction of large steel and aluminium yachts for ISA Yachts and Columbus Yachts. The new facility will further expand production capacity and increase flexibility in managing large-scale programmes.
Alongside its industrial and production development, Palumbo Superyachts is also broadening its relationship with Owners by developing services that accompany clients beyond the construction of their yachts.
Through Palumbo Superyachts Atelier, the shipyard supports clients throughout the yacht’s entire life cycle with tailored assistance, maintenance, refit, conversion and upgrade services, delivered by a dedicated technical team through an approach built around each Owner’s requirements.
Complementing this service is Palumbo Superyachts ART, created to offer Owners privileged access to the world of contemporary art and to guide them in selecting works that engage in dialogue with their yachts, residences and personal taste.
Engineering, construction, design, art and services thus become expressions of a single philosophy: placing diverse expertise at the service of an increasingly personal and complete experience.
From the launch of five new yachts to the major projects currently under construction, from the ISA Large Yacht Collection to the expansion of production capacity in Ortona and Ancona, and the new services dedicated to Owners, Palumbo Superyachts enters the next phase of its development from already solid foundations: industrial capability, financial reliability, engineering expertise and a vision that continues to extend beyond yacht construction.
