International Spotlight — ISA Super Sportivo 100ft GTO M/Y Aldabra
In collaboration with Studio Arnaboldi, ISA Yachts’ Super Sportivo 100ft GTO is set to debut at Cannes Yachting Festival 2021
Blasting away in style
Set to be one of the fastest models on the market, the ISA Super Sportivo 100ft GTO is powered with three 2000hp engines to reach maximum speeds of 50 knots. Designer, Marco Arnaboldi, and team, along with styler from Too Design studio, Marco Casali, have combined style and speed into the new vessel, providing a solid yacht with all the on-board comforts every boat owner is after.
The hull and superstructure are built with epoxy-based vinyl resin with carbon fiber and Kevlar reinforcements to ensure maximum lightness and strength. The yacht includes waterjet propulsion, using jets by Swedish company, MJP (Marine Jet Power), to achieve high performing power. In the first sea trials, the vessel reached a speed of 55 knots, exceeding theoretical calculations.

On-board the Super Sportivo 100ft GTO, comfort hasn’t been sacrificed for the high-speed abilities. Along with the precise requirements given, the owner will also enjoy the same level of comfort and refined furnishings as other ISA yachts. The vessel manoeuvres remarkably with the classic joystick due to the design of the hull, and while the bow thruster is still present, it’s not needed to achieve ease of movement.
Marco Arnaboldi said the basis for all sprinting performances is an excellent power-to-weight ratio. “This should not lead you to believe that you have to compromise on interior fittings and materials,” he said.
“Lightness and design can be combined, not only by using modern materials such as laminates, but also solid wood and marble, which must of course be suitably processed. Here, too, the work of our studio’s consultants with the designers responsible for the styling was crucial to achieving the desired end result.”
To see the ISA Super Sportivo 100ft GTO M/Y Aldabra in its glory and to see the style of work by Studio Arnaboldi, the yacht will be at the 2021 Cannes Yachting Festival in September.
