Quick Answer
New Itama yachts range in price from $1 million to $6 million, while used yachts typically cost between $500,000 and $4 million.
For first-time buyers, the Itama 45 or 55 models are best suited for family cruising and short-distance leisure trips, while models 63 ft and larger are ideal for ocean cruising or hosting large parties.
Introduction to the Itama Yacht Brand
Founded in 1977, Itama is a renowned Italian powerboat brand celebrated for its exquisite craftsmanship and high-speed performance. Each Itama yacht is meticulously crafted by Italian designers, featuring sleek hull lines and well-designed interiors that blend luxury with practicality.
Itama prioritizes high-speed cruising performance, with some models capable of reaching speeds exceeding 40 knots, while ensuring ample deck space and comfortable cabins, making them ideal for family leisure or small social gatherings.
In my over a decade of experience in yacht sales and sailing, I have found that Itama’s strength lies in its combination of high-speed performance and driving pleasure, making it particularly suitable for owners who wish to enjoy a fast cruising experience without sacrificing comfort.
Compared to brands like Riva or Pershing, Itama offers relatively reasonable pricing and higher resale value, making it a cost-effective choice in the high-end powerboat market.
The primary uses of Itama yachts include family leisure, onboard parties, high-speed cruising, and short ocean voyages. For small families, 45–55 ft Itama models are sufficient for day cruises and weekend getaways, while models 63 feet and above are better suited for long-distance voyages or entertaining larger groups.

New Itama yacht prices typically include custom interiors, navigation equipment, and a full warranty, while used yacht prices are significantly influenced by the vessel’s age, maintenance history, and equipment. When purchasing a used Itama yacht, be sure to have the vessel inspected by a certified broker or an AMS-certified surveyor to ensure the hull and engine are in good condition.
Key Considerations When Purchasing an Itama Yacht
Choosing the Right Model and Length
Selecting the appropriate model and length is the primary consideration when purchasing an Itama yacht.
Small models (45–55 ft) are better suited for family day trips, short cruises, or weekend getaways at sea;
Medium models (55–63 ft) balance comfort with high-speed cruising and are suitable for short ocean voyages;
Large yachts (63–75 ft) are suitable for ocean exploration or hosting parties and require a professional crew.
Propulsion System and Fuel Efficiency
Most Itama models feature a twin-engine configuration, delivering powerful performance and high-speed capabilities. However, high-speed cruising significantly increases fuel consumption.
For example, the Itama 55 consumes approximately 120–150 liters of fuel per hour during high-speed cruising, while cruising at lower speeds can reduce this to 50–70 liters per hour. Careful planning of cruising speed can effectively extend range and lower operating costs.
Configurations and Customization
Itama offers a wide range of customization options, including:
Interior Styles: Italian luxury design or modern minimalism
Entertainment Features: Deck barbecue, Jacuzzi, premium audio system
Navigation and Safety Equipment: Radar, AIS, autopilot, remote monitoring
These customization options significantly impact the price of new yachts and also affect the resale value of used yachts.
Purchasing Channels and Transaction Process
There are three channels for purchasing an Itama yacht:
Official Dealers: Transparent pricing, suitable for new yacht purchases
Yacht Brokers: Can assist with pre-owned transactions, including inspections, negotiations, and paperwork
Used Market: Relatively lower prices, but thorough inspections are required to avoid potential repair risks
Itama Yacht Maintenance and Operating Costs
After purchasing an Itama yacht, annual maintenance and operating costs must also be considered. Below is a typical cost reference table (based on a 55 foot Itama yacht):
| Cost Category | Average Annual Cost (USD) | Description |
| Fuel | $25,000–$50,000 | Depends on sailing frequency and speed |
| Insurance | $30,000–$50,000 | Hull insurance and third-party liability insurance |
| Dockage Fees | $15,000–$30,000 | Port berthing and facility usage fees |
| Maintenance | $20,000–$40,000 | Engine maintenance, hull cleaning, anti-corrosion treatment |
| Total | $90,000–$170,000 | Excludes unexpected repair and upgrade costs |
Maintenance Recommendations:
Conduct annual inspections of the hull, anti-corrosion systems, engine, and navigation systems
Cover the hull and apply antifreeze during long-term storage; take the boat out periodically to maintain engine condition
Comply with navigation regulations; purchase mandatory insurance and rescue services
Conclusion
Itama yachts combine high-speed performance with a luxurious experience, making them a choice that balances value and design in the high-end powerboat market. Before purchasing, carefully consider your budget, intended use, crew requirements, and maintenance costs. When buying a used yacht, have it inspected by a professional broker or an AMS-certified surveyor to ensure safety and maximize value.
In my experience, I recommend that first-time Itama owners start with the Itama 45 or 55 models. Once they are familiar with the operation and maintenance procedures, they can then consider the 63-foot and larger models designed for long-range ocean cruising.
Whether for family cruising or ocean voyages, Itama yachts deliver an exceptional sailing experience and luxurious enjoyment.
