Palumbo Superyachts has reported five yacht completions in 2026, 20 yachts under construction and an order book worth about €1bn, as the Italian group continues to expand its industrial capacity and large-yacht activity.
The 2026 deliveries include 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. Palumbo says the projects show its ability to work across composite, steel and aluminium builds while managing different sizes, materials and levels of complexity.
The company’s current pipeline ranges from 20 to 100 metres, supported by engineering, production infrastructure and shipbuilding experience across its brands. Large custom yachts are now described as a structural part of the business, with several ISA Yachts projects over 60 metres in build, including the ISA GT 100, ISA GT 80, ISA GT 68, ISA Classic 65 and ISA Spectre 62.
Engineering expertise
“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,” said 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,” he added.
“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.”
The ISA Large Yacht Collection forms part of the growth plan, targeting tailor-made yachts from 80 to 100 metres. The company says the collection is based on a proven technical platform while allowing each project to be developed around the owner’s requirements.
New production site
Further capacity will come from the new Ortona production site, which is due to become operational in 2027 and will be used mainly for large steel and aluminium yachts for ISA Yachts and Columbus Yachts. Palumbo has also added facilities in the Port of Ancona.
The company is also extending its owner services. Palumbo Superyachts Atelier will provide technical assistance, maintenance, refit, conversion and upgrade work during the yacht lifecycle, while Palumbo Superyachts ART has been created to advise owners on contemporary art for yachts and residences.
Palumbo says the combination of yacht launches, large custom projects, production investment and owner services provides the basis for its next phase of development.
