Waterfront: Magic Number
Axioma Is the Sixth 47-Meter ISA to Launch.

ISA 155
Proving 47 meters (155 feet) is a popular size in the megayacht world, the ISA shipyard in Ancona, Italy, recently launched its sixth hull in the 47-meter range. The owner and his family, as well as many proud ISA craftsmen who labored aboard Axioma for the past 20 months, attended the festive ceremony.

Designer Walter Franchini drew the yacht’s contemporary exterior, which features a sweeping curve in the aft superstructure. Her steel hull is meant for ocean passages, topping out at 17 knots with twin 12V4000 MTU diesels. Axioma displaces 484 tons; large enough to provide luxurious comfort at sea, but just under the 500-ton mark that would put her in a stricter MCA category. She is MCA compliant and RINA certified.

Luca Dini designed the interior plan, accommodating 12 guests in six staterooms, attended by nine crew. The yacht’s elegant rooms will be washed with light by Axioma’s many large windows.
