Designed in collaboration with the Ferretti Group Strategic Product Committee, led by Piero Ferrari, and the Group Engineering Department, this 13-metre-plus yacht has the aesthetic and structural features that brought fame to its predecessor, Itama 45S: the concealed hydraulic gangway integrated into the hull and the stern swimming platform that can be lowered into the water to launch and land the tender.
The stern area has been brought up to date with a change in the transom angle that brings a sweeping dynamism to the exterior lines. This architectural interplay creates space for a practical locker in which to store water toys and the hand shower.
The restyling has focused attention on comfort, with additions that make for more liveability on board. The table in the cockpit, now available in varnished teak; flush teak hatches on the foredeck; and the new layout of the bathroom area, which becomes more spacious and liveable, thanks to the free-standing crystal glass shower enclosure with a stainless steel frame, an overhead shower head and a courtesy wand, as well as a porthole to let light into the area. Owners can choose to have the owner suite and a guest cabin, or only the owner suite in the bow and a more spacious dinette.
New design for the helm station dashboard as well, which has two 12-inch screens – 16-inch in the optional version for easy, enjoyable and state-of-the-art cruising – a carbon instrument panel, and a steel yacht wheel clad in fabric coordinated with the outdoor upholstery or alternatively, on request, in teak.
Itama 45RS is equipped with a pair of Cummins engines rated 550 mhp and has a top speed of 34 knots. The compact propulsion system results in plenty of technical space on board and has in-line transmission, as is the case on most Itama models.
