Superyacht of the week: The brand new superyacht Aziza

Last April, brand new superyacht Aziza was christened at the ISA Yachts yard in Ancona. After a moving speech by the owner, in which he expressed his pride to be part of the ISA-family and thanking them for having always treated him and his crew with respect, professionalism, accuracy and commitment, elegant Aziza was ready to take on the waves. Along with Andrea Vallicelli Design for the exterior designs, and an in-house ISA Yachts team responsible for all interior designs and naval architecture, the owners were highly involved in the process of building Aziza. The result is an impressive, personal and exquisite superyacht that combines contemporary elegance with a touch of futuristic class.

At 41 metre LOA, Aziza's exterior looks are undeniably sportive, with the smooth curves and confident silhouette of a modern classic superyacht. Upon boarding, this sense of sportive style is matched with an elegant modern lightness that feels instantly welcoming.

Here, surrounded by large windows and with a large, oval, glass-topped table, modern white leather and stainless steel dining chairs and a curvy sofa, dining in Aziza's main dining area is all about contemporary elegance and light luxury. With the large sofa, it's easy to imagine the dining room also functioning as a formal lounge.
