Itama 70: The Open Yacht Redefines Elegance at Sea
A new vision of contemporary sportiness meets refined comfort. The Itama 70 emerges as a masterwork of Italian design, where minimalist aesthetics and innovative engineering craft an entirely fresh proposition for those who demand both performance and grace upon the water.

The bow cuts through the Mediterranean light with a particular kind of purposefulness. This is the Itama 70, a vessel conceived not merely as a floating platform but as an extension of a philosophy that has always privileged restraint, precision and the honest expression of engineered form. At 21.23 metres in length with a beam of 5.30 metres, she represents the second chapter in Itama’s deliberate reimagining of its own future, a continuation of dialogue between sporting heritage and contemporary refinement.
What distinguishes the 70 lies not in aggressive ornamentation but in the subtlety of her proportions and the intelligence of her spatial choreography. Vallicelli Design has orchestrated the exterior with a restrained hand, while the interior concept by IdeaeItalia breathes a considered elegance throughout. The gunwale aligns with the sheer line in a gesture that seems almost deceptively simple; yet this decision shifts the junction between hull and deck to create a convex longitudinal profile that sweeps from bow to stern. The effect is both sculptural and functional: deck spaces expand, particularly forward, while the silhouette gains a dynamic quality that speaks to the brand’s unshakeable sporting DNA.
Those distinctive side windows that first graced the Itama 54 continue here, running along the hull like a refined graphic element. The transom echoes the angle of the stem in an elegant dialogue between fore and aft, creating a profile that is unmistakably Itama yet entirely contemporary.
A Deck for Living
The main deck unfolds as a studied arrangement of social spaces, each thoughtfully considered for the rituals of leisure at sea. From the stern, a two section door opens with pantograph precision to the cockpit, its lower section swinging outward as a practical step. The iconic sun pad dominates the aft living area, its integrated backrest creating a seamless transition to the dining space beyond. Here, a U shaped seating arrangement frames a teak topped table, while the starboard wet bar anticipates every refinement: sink, refrigeration, and the flexibility to accommodate an ice maker, grill or hob according to preference.
It is this attentiveness to detail, to the actual moment of entertaining, that elevates a yacht beyond mere dimensions. The Itama 70 understands that freedom at sea means something only when paired with the comfort to truly enjoy it. Minimalism here is not austerity; it is clarity of purpose, the removal of everything unnecessary so that what remains speaks with undeniable elegance.
