The Sixty, a new yacht from Itama, is an open yacht with a decidedly sporty feel, whose strength lies in its powerful performance. This fibreglass vessel, 18.82 metres long, has a more powerful thrust from its twin MAN 1550 bhp engines and surface propellers, and can effortlessly reach 48 knots. Its high performance is partly due to the famous 20 degree V-line of the hull, a distinctive feature of this shipyard, which assures unparalleled sea performance thanks to the higher bow and the markedly slimmer stern.
The new Sixty is a continuation of the direction taken by Itama with great success in recent years, as the company has concentrated on ideas that really make the most of the available space. On-board liveability, the optimisation of interior and exterior space, and the feeling of freedom during navigation are the distinctive traits of this yacht.
The glass windshield – an important stylistic and technological detail typical of Itama vessels – not only gives added rake to the boat’s profile, but also creates total protection inside the cockpit without reducing direct contact with the sea. Another sophisticated feature is the choice of materials used, the carbon finish dashboard and the helm made from stainless steel and high quality teak. The electrohydraulic canopy, successfully introduced on the Fiftyfive, will stand up to any weather conditions. Offering total protection of the dinette when closed, it can be opened so that passengers can fully appreciate life onboard the yacht.
Apart from the classic layout of the interior, what is instantly apparent is the meticulous styling and carefully-selected materials used in the strikingly contemporary interior. The shipyard has chosen to focus its attention on the owner by providing two choices of below-deck finish: white lacquer, for an airier, maritime feel, or the warmth and elegance of walnut.
The warm and inviting atmosphere of the interior is enhanced by the use of natural woods such as the weng? stairs leading to the dinette or the black walnut on the interior trim. The elegant choice of leather paired with the steel detailing achieves the perfect balance between style and practicality.
The standard layout of the Itama Sixty comprises 3 cabins and 3 en-suite bathrooms, plus a convenient kitchen diner. The crew cabin is optional and features an entirely new design compared to the Fiftyfive, to make way for the propulsion units. It has a separate stern entry guaranteeing maximum privacy onboard, and of course there is direct access to the engine room through the watertight door.
