Who owns Itama yachts?
Ferretti Group has owned Itama since December 2004, when founder Mario Amati sold the yard. The Italian group also builds Ferretti Yachts, Riva, Pershing, Custom Line, Wally, and CRN.
What does the name Itama mean?
Itama is the surname of founder Mario Amati spelled backwards. He picked it when he started the yard in Rome in 1969, and the name stayed through the 2004 sale to Ferretti Group.
What sizes do Itama yachts come in?
The current range runs from the Itama 45RS to the Itama 75, with the 54 and 62RS between and an Itama 70 in development. Used models such as the 38, 40, and 55 extend the choice further down.
Itama, founded in Rome in 1969 by Mario Amati, builds open sport yachts from 45 to 75 feet and has belonged to Italy's Ferretti Group since 2004. The name is Amati's surname spelled backwards. The boats follow a single formula, the open yacht with clean, essential lines.
Rome origins and the Ferretti Group era
Amati set up shop on Rome's Lungotevere in 1969 and moved to larger premises on the banks of the Tiber in 1977. His aim was a fast open boat whose looks would not age, and the yard built variations on that one theme for 35 years before he sold the business to Ferretti Group in December 2004. Amati died in 2016 at the age of 83. Within the group, Itama keeps its own range and identity alongside Ferretti Yachts, Riva, Pershing, Custom Line, Wally, and CRN.
The current open yacht range
The lineup consists of the Itama 45RS, the 54, and the 62RS, topped by the Itama 75, with an Itama 70 announced at project stage. All are open yachts, long on cockpit and short on superstructure, and the range has never strayed from that type; even the 75 keeps the low profile the first Rome-built hulls wore.
Used Itamas and the charter market
Earlier models, among them the Itama 38, 40, 55, and the 46/50 Special, keep an active secondhand following. Open yachts of this size suit day cruising and short island hops, and GetBoat lists Itamas, including 38, 40, and 55 models, for charter and sale.
