Italian superyacht builder ISA's largest ever build — a 63m (207ft) displacement motoryacht — is now visible outside the shed where she was built, in preparation for her ahead-of-schedule launch in April.

The Moon Stone and Stark White yacht is the first of three boats over 50m (164ft) due to be launched and delivered by ISA this year.

The 63m (207ft) yacht was commissioned in September 2007 and has taken two-and-a-half years to complete, employing 310 direct and indirect employees.

Andrea Vallicelli worked with ISA's architects on the yacht's design. Patrick Knowles designed the interiors.

Based in Ancona on Italy's Adriatic coast, ISA builds fibreglass yachts from 37m-43m (120ft-140ft), steel yachts from 39-63m (128ft-207ft) and custom projects in larger dimensions.
