ISA Yachts, masters of Italian shipbuilding, are raising a glass to the first sale from their Unica 45M Steel series. The superyacht, promising high-displacement and a gargantuan fuel capacity exceeding 60,000 litres, is set to sweep an American buyer off their feet and sail them into 2027, the expected year of delivery.
The 45M, designed for long-haul, epic ocean crossings, sports an intriguing stern configuration. A tiered 'relaxation zone', spread over three levels, features an enticing sunbathing area, a swimming pool and an infinity cockpit. Swimmers can enjoy panoramic seascape views framed by a glass balustrade, fusing safety with style.
A 16-metre long sundeck offers further opportunities for sunbathing, along with a well-appointed lounge, dining area, bar and jacuzzi. The lower deck houses more sleeping quarters, capable of accommodating four double cabins, with a dedicated area for the ship's crew.
Powered by twin CAT C32 engines, the Unica 45M will cruise at speeds of 14 knots, with a maximum speed of 15 knots and a range of 4,000 nautical miles at 10 knots. ISA Yachts anticipates a surging tide of orders, with the Viper 120 series next in line on the launching pad.

What this means on the water
This story matters only if it helps sailors, owners, clubs, marinas and readers make better decisions afloat or ashore. The new point should be the named event, result, boat, notice, place or change in the report above, not the shine around it. Old Sea Dogs treats press releases and organiser statements as a starting point, then looks for the practical detail: dates, entry rules, berthing, costs, crew impact, safety notes and what readers should check next. What remains uncertain is the usual waterfront mix of weather, final notices, availability, pricing and how a claim holds up once people arrive. Use this piece as a pointer, then check the linked source before making plans.
