The ISA Yachts shipyard has confirmed the sale of a second Unica 45M Steel model. This order, placed by a European shipowner, brings the number of superyachts currently under construction at the group's facilities to eleven.

A few months after announcing the first unit, ISA Yachts has officially confirmed the sale of a second Unica 45M Steel. Built with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, this 45-metre yacht is destined for a European client, with delivery scheduled for 2028.

The design is by Enrico Gobbi (Team for Design), while the naval architecture is provided by the shipyard's in-house teams. Designed for long-range cruising, this model has a range of over 4,000 nautical miles at 10 knots, thanks to a fuel capacity of over 60,000 litres.

Two 970 kW CAT C32 engines enable a cruising speed of 14 knots, with a maximum speed of 15 knots. This range makes it ideal for long voyages without frequent stopovers.

The deck plan prioritises space and circulation, with a three-level aft deck including a sunbathing area, a swimming pool and a glass-enclosed cockpit. At the front of the upper deck is a relaxation area. The 16-metre fly deck includes a dining table, a lounge area, two sunbathing areas and a bar.

The interior spaces have been designed to optimise light and circulation, with large glass windows. The main deck includes an owner's suite with a lounge area, dressing room and bathroom, as well as a space that can be converted into a sixth cabin or office. The boat has four guest cabins on the lower deck (three double and one twin), all equipped with their own bathrooms.

The main dining room is located on the main deck, while a second table is set up outside on the upper deck. The crew of nine is accommodated in four cabins at the front of the lower deck. A captain's cabin is adjacent to the wheelhouse.

ISA Yachts, which also builds several 40- to 80-metre vessels at its shipyards in Ancona and Savona, is continuing its production programme with this order. The current range includes GT, Classic, Viper and Unica models, all available in specific configurations.
