Broker Overview

The 2011 ISA 500, a 164-foot motor yacht, represents a significant opportunity in the superyacht market. Built by ISA Yachts, known for their bespoke, high-quality constructions, this vessel features a robust steel hull, offering exceptional sea-keeping and transatlantic capability. Power is provided by twin MTU M71 engines, a reliable and proven choice for yachts of this caliber, ensuring efficient long-range cruising. The yacht's six-cabin layout is designed for substantial guest accommodation, making it suitable for both private use and potential charter operations. At an asking price of $17,377,050, located in Toulon, France, this ISA 500 is positioned competitively for a yacht of its size, age, and build quality. While a 2011 build, the underlying engineering and construction standards remain highly relevant. Buyers should anticipate standard refit considerations for a yacht of this vintage, focusing on systems updates and interior refresh to align with contemporary tastes, but the core platform is undeniably strong.

Six-cabin layout, ideal for large families or charter potential.
Proven MTU M71 propulsion system for reliable performance.

Expert Review

The ISA 500 series is recognized for its solid construction and thoughtful engineering, a hallmark of ISA Yachts. This 2011 model, with its steel hull, offers excellent stability and a comfortable ride, particularly in open water conditions. The MTU M71 engines are a workhorse, known for their durability and global service network, which is crucial for a yacht intended for extensive cruising. Value for money here is strong; you are acquiring a substantial, well-built superyacht at a price point that reflects its age but not its inherent quality. During a survey, pay close attention to the condition of the engine room, particularly the MTU service records, and the operational status of all major systems including HVAC, stabilizers, and generators. Interior soft goods and electronics will likely be areas for upgrade, but the structural integrity and mechanical foundation should be the primary focus. Comparable alternatives might include certain Feadship or Heesen models of similar vintage, though often at a higher price point.
