Motor yacht LIBERTY (Hull number 500.01) launched by ISA
M/Y LIBERTY (Hull number 500.01) of the ISA series features design by the ISA in-house design and technical team and Andrea Vallicelli. She is a displacement motor yacht with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure. All three yachts in the ISA 500 semi-custom design superyacht series feature the same technical platform and are composed of a sundeck, upper deck, main deck and lower deck however they each have a unique superstructure and transom design.
Liberty Yacht boasts elegant exterior lines that offer a smooth outline strengthened by the forward sloping windows which grant a sense of movement even when the yacht is at rest. Liberty has a dramatic dark grey metallic hull that contrasts with a brilliant white superstructure, the coating materials for which were supplied by Boero YachtCoatings.
The main deck boasts wide and spacious corridors with the main saloon encircled by a continuous panoramic window that opens through the wide sliding doors to the main deck aft.
The vast sundeck measures over 17 meters long and boasts a large pool, sunbathing area and bar plus a comfortable sitting area aft with a number of chais-longues. The central dining table is located under the mast with structural sunshade.
The upper deck forward of the wheelhouse is linked to the main deck and by a small stairway and is furnished with two sofas, a great area for guests to enjoy the view while underway,
Yacht LIBERTY’s transom has no staircase however the wide aft door opens, giving access to the “beach room” and creating a multipurpose area to enjoy using the water sport toys, swimming from the platform or sunbathing with a cocktail in hand. A large guest tender is stored in a garage adjoining “the beach area” and is launched through a door in the side of the hull.
