It was unveiled at the newly renovated Deck Lounge at Via Coppino 114 in Viareggio, with the first unit already in-build and sold.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/365449/image/large-038fa6503ab2dd20be691b499b2fe5c3.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/365449">This yacht introduces a human-centred approach. “The result is a yacht that abandons the rigid typical functional stratification of the yachting industry, giving back the yacht to its owner and the time spent at sea,” explained <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/536" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Maiora (Company)">Maiora</a>.The concept and spatial planning were led by the shipyard itself in partnership with Rome-based designer Giorgio Maria Cassetta of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4478" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cassetta Yacht Designers (Company)">Cassetta Yacht Designers</a> and the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2151" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Elie Saab (Company)">Elie Saab</a> brand under the creative direction of Carlo Colombo of A++.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/365442/image/large-2f10a1914bfb859b81f6176265519e78.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/365442">“<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/536" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Maiora (Company)">Maiora</a> <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/15830" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Maiora Exuma 42/0141.5m (136'2&quot;)Maiora2027">42 Exuma</a> had an almost instinctive and very rapid start: already at the first meeting with the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/536" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Maiora (Company)">Maiora</a> team, the vision of this high-performance gentleman’s yacht took shape in a quick sketch. It was a challenge to create a balance between lightness, interior volume and generous heights while maintaining a clean and refined look,” commented Giorgio Cassetta.The yacht’s exterior embraces a dynamic aesthetic characterised by sleek horizontal surfaces, expansive glass panels and flowing lines that seamlessly merge the interior and exterior spaces. This design language strikes a refined balance between form and function, with a silhouette that suggests motion even while at rest and an architectural layout that amplifies natural light throughout the day.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/365444/image/large-8916fb27c448adfd61c4f1e1911a0968.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/365444">“Our collaboration with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/536" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Maiora (Company)">Maiora</a> marks a strategic expansion of the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2151" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Elie Saab (Company)">Elie Saab</a> lifestyle into the world of yachting. Following our success in interiors, home décor, hospitality and branded real estate, this evolution was both natural and intentional.

With this launch we bring Elie Saab to the sea, translating our legacy of craftsmanship and refined aesthetics into a frontier of contemporary luxury,” explained Elie Saab Jr, CEO of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2151" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Elie Saab (Company)">Elie Saab Group</a>.The exterior is matched by a refined interior that showcases premium materials like Fumo di Londra and Mystic Ocean marble, paired with light bronzed mirrors and teak wood used for both flooring and ceilings. Every detail is crafted in Italy, with a strong focus on selecting high-performance fabrics and finishes that withstand the rigours of life at sea.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/365445/image/large-86839d722e51e2319679171316ec04eb.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/365445">“When onboard experience is designed properly, the yacht becomes transparent to the eyes of the owners.

We chose to break with conventional approaches, redefining the balance between aesthetics, function and onboard wellbeing to restore centrality to experience and quality of life.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/365452/image/large-329a0d2b18dedd2b1a590baa67acca25.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/365452">In traditional yacht configurations, the main deck typically features only the owner's suite and a large saloon, often underutilised and limiting opportunities for guest interaction. In contrast, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/15830" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Maiora Exuma 42/0141.5m (136'2&quot;)Maiora2027">42 Exuma</a> redefines this layout by relocating guest accommodations from the lower deck to the main level, placing a stronger emphasis on comfort, natural light and social connection between the owner and the guests.“The most significant innovation brought by the shipyard was in the layout: we moved the guest staterooms to the main deck, dedicating the lower deck to services and leaving the upper deck and sun deck completely free and fully dedicated to the guests,” added Cassetta.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/365451/image/large-d24e8c9c31ed5f637742a1a829162ab4.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/365451">Along the central corridor of the main deck are four spacious VIP guest suites, each featuring full-height windows that flood the interiors with natural light and offer sweeping sea views. Towards the bow lies the expansive full-beam master suite, designed to ensure maximum privacy. This retreat includes separate living and sleeping areas, a private bar, two walk-in wardrobes and his-and-hers bathrooms. In total, the yacht accommodates up to 12 guests across five luxurious staterooms.Approaching the central lobby, the dual-core layout becomes apparent, separating crew and guest circulation to preserve privacy throughout the yacht. The design also accommodates a panoramic glass elevator, seamlessly linking all three decks without interrupting the interior flow.Moreover, the wheelhouse is also located on the main deck, thoughtfully positioned away from guest spaces to maintain a tranquil atmosphere. Completing the layout is a dedicated outdoor area for the crew, offering a sheltered space for fresh-air breaks or outdoor workouts.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/365454/image/large-113a0a333f053cfcde38b67cac5b41a3.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/365454">According to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/536" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Maiora (Company)">Maiora</a>, “The lower deck typically features well-known layouts that sacrifice crew comfort in small, cramped and inefficient spaces. This often generates discontent and high turnover among crew members. Providing more comfortable and better-organised environments becomes not only an ethical choice but a strategic one to ensure crew loyalty, professionalism and top-level onboard service.The layout has been reimagined to include well-organised, spacious areas dedicated to crew comfort and operational efficiency. Highlights include a generous crew mess for nine, a separate cold room and dry storage, comprehensive laundry facilities and a large dumbwaiter to streamline guest service.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/365455/image/large-ae739c3a612dd7f7ab0a3990b6dc13a7.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/365455">Also located on this deck, yet separated, is a flexible multipurpose room that can serve as a gym, media lounge or sixth guest cabin with en-suite. A garage completes the space, accommodating a 6-metre tender and two jet skis.The upper deck is fully dedicated to leisure and features a panoramic, glass-enclosed main saloon that opens on all sides, seamlessly extending to outdoor fold-down terraces and an aft pool with a transparent bottom that bathes the lower deck in natural light. Inside, a customisable dining area offers uninterrupted views, while the bow boasts an adjustable circular sunbed that tracks the sun throughout the day.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/365443/image/large-99d3cc235f3378504f4910eca98315a2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/365443">The uppermost level features an 80-square-metre sun deck dedicated entirely to open-air relaxation, providing unobstructed views and a fully customisable space for lounging, socialising or peaceful retreat. This completes a three-deck layout focused on comfort, versatility and a seamless connection with the sea.In terms of performance, the yacht offers two engine configurations: twin <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5350" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Volvo Penta (Company)">Volvo Penta</a> engines delivering a cruising speed of 16 knots and a top speed of 20 knots, and triple <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1409" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MTU (Company)">MTU</a> engines providing a cruising speed of 26 knots with a top speed of 30 knots.

Every design choice, from the layout of the cabins to the configuration of the decks, from flow management to attention to the crew, reflects a new and radical approach that puts the human experience back at the centre. The result is a yacht that redefines the standards of liveability and functionality on board, opening new perspectives for high-end yachting,” concluded <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/536" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Maiora (Company)">Maiora</a>.

The raised deck can be used as a beach club and it overlooks the garage which makes it an additional space for various activities. Furthermore, the raised deck also connects directly to the main deck and creates a veranda ideal for dining activities.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/365475/image/large-b63b24622ba90be6ecc2041e7d42335d.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/365475">Additionally, the yacht also blurs the boundaries between decks and ensures seamless outdoor and indoor living between the decks with cleverly-designed ramps.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/365473/image/large-013cbbb06dbed10ab43199d9c3988eef.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/365473">According to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5525" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Antonini Navi (Company)">Antonini Navi</a>, SUY110 is set to have a steel hull and an aluminium superstructure which improves her durability while maintaining quality performance.

A waterfall element connects these spaces, adding a subtle sense of character and refinement. This floating, intimate concept is reflected in the yacht’s name, Isola, conceived as a private island at sea.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/365465/image/large-1aff946c2cc9e57ec01f87568bc933f1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/365465"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/365463/image/large-85312169e65e545b064e2d109d5f0bff.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/365463">Inside, her main saloon spans nearly 50-square-metres and opens directly onto the beach club through large sliding glass walls reminiscent of Mediterranean villa arcades.

Four guest suites on the lower deck complete the arrangement, providing comfort and privacy for all onboard.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/365457/image/large-93d35013c059d22e7d7e5017f32a7b21.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/365457">The C.Boat 100 Isola can be built either as a full-displacement steel version for long-range cruising or as an aluminium semi-displacement version for higher speeds.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/365458/image/large-e888a2ca886dd5415cb9901f93d471f0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/365458">
