ISA motor yacht With exterior and interior styling by Walter Franchini, Ellix Too took 120 workers 17 months to complete.
Waterfront: Red-Hulled Beauty

ISA 156
Ellix Too, with her distinctive red steel hull and cream superstructure, slid down the slipway at International Shipyards Ancona amid fireworks and the applause of over 1,000 spectators. She is the second 156-foot, semi-custom motor yacht ISA has launched, following April Fool last year.

With exterior and interior styling by Walter Franchini, Ellix Too took 120 workers 17 months to complete. Her owner, a Venezuelan businesswoman, included a dedicated media room in her specifications. The yacht features six staterooms and has a maximum speed of 17 knots.

After a tour of Turkish waters, Ellix Too is bound for the U.S. “This launch is confirmation that in just three years, ISA has become a major player in the superyacht market,” said Marcello Maggi, ISA marketing director. “Two years ago, when we signed the contract for Ellix Too, the yard wasn’t what it is today. The owner took a leap of faith and tonight we’ve seen that her trust has been amply rewarded.”
