Itama

Itama is an Italian brand associated with luxury motor yachts, best known for its open, high‑performance sport boats. The company emerged in the Italian yachting scene during the mid-20th century and became recognized for designs that combined sporty handling with practical cruising layouts. Itama boats are typically aimed at day boating and coastal use, offering clean exterior lines and a functional use of space.

Design and construction elements common to Itama models include lightweight yet strong hulls, often built from fiberglass (GRP), with deep‑V or modified deep‑V hull configurations intended to deliver a stable ride at speed. Interiors emphasize bright, social spaces, with cockpit-focused layouts that cater to evenings aboard and easy water access. Decks frequently feature teak or teak‑look finishes, contributing to the brand’s characteristic maritime aesthetic.

Throughout its history, Itama gained a following among boating enthusiasts who valued Italian design language and performance. The brand’s models ranged in size from compact days boats to mid‑range cruisers, appealing to owners seeking a combination of spirited performance and comfortable day use. Over time, Itama became part of a broader network of Italian yacht builders, with its name continuing as a heritage reference within the global market.
