Unveiling the First Viper 130: ISA Yachts Begins Outfitting of Innovative Superyacht

Published: 07 Aug 2025
ISA Yachts takes major strides with the commencement of the Viper 130's outfitting process at its Italian facility.

In a landmark announcement, ISA Yachts, a revered subsidiary of Palumbo Superyachts, unveiled that the first build of its Viper 130 model has entered the outfitting phase at its Ancona facilities in Italy. This achievement arrives barely two months after the Viper line was launched in May 2024, reflecting a rapid momentum in the brand’s operations.

Prominently, the Viper 130 model captured an American buyer’s fascination, marking its first sale. The deal was facilitated by Zarpo Yachts, also credited for overseeing the sale of the Columbus Crossover model from ISA’s sister brand.

Housing is spread across five cabins located on the lower deck. The owner’s quarters feature a dual bathroom and can be arranged amidships to leverage the 7.9-metre beam or towards the bow for an expansive walk-in closet.

The main deck combines an extra bar-galley, a well-appointed saloon with semi-circular sofas, armchairs, and a ten-seater dining table. Maximising the interior, a unique, port-side walkway leads to the spectacular bow view, an additional balcony offers direct ocean vistas, and the main deck houses the wheelhouse. The sundrenched sundeck, on the other hand, features a secondary helm station, stern-planted sunpads, a lounge area, a 12-seater table, and a circular pool into the bow area.

From a functional standpoint, a garage suitable for a five-metre tender is positioned on the starboard. When it comes to performance, the Viper 130, integrated with three powerful MAN or MTU engines, aims to achieve a top speed of 33 knots and a cruising speed of 26 knots. The ISA Viper line consists of three models: the Viper 100, Viper 130, and Viper 140.
