Itama 45RS overview
The Itama 45RS is the entry point to Itama's current open-yacht collection and measures 13.82 metres overall. It keeps the brand's low, clean profile and open Mediterranean character while fitting substantial performance and overnight capability into a relatively compact platform. For buyers searching in the 13–14 metre sector, it is primarily a driver's yacht with genuine weekending ability rather than a small flybridge cruiser.
The cockpit is designed as the main social zone, with wide sunbathing areas and direct connection to the stern. A hydraulic swim platform can be lowered for easier access to the water, while a retractable gangway is integrated so that it does not interrupt the exterior lines. The helm uses digital instrumentation with large displays, reinforcing the model's emphasis on direct, uncomplicated operation.
Dimensions and performance
Official specifications give a 13.82-metre overall length, 3.95-metre maximum beam and 1.33-metre draft. Twin Cummins QSB 6.7 diesels rated at 550 hp each drive through conventional shaft lines. Itama publishes 34 knots maximum speed and 29 knots cruising speed, with approximately 200 nautical miles of range at cruise.
Fuel capacity is 1,130 litres and water capacity is 330 litres. The builder's technical material provides two-cabin accommodation, while its alternative layouts can trade the second cabin for a larger lounge or create a more private owner-focused configuration. That flexibility is important in this size bracket because buyers may prioritise either occasional guests or a larger lower-deck living area.
Open-yacht character
The design is centred on outdoor use. The raked transom, flush deck details and central cockpit keep circulation straightforward, while below deck the galley, dinette and sleeping spaces provide the essentials for coastal cruising. Itama's use of light finishes and hull glazing is intended to prevent the compact lower deck from feeling enclosed.
Luxury Yacht Guide assessment
The 45RS is a strong candidate for an owner who wants sports-yacht performance and traditional shaft-drive handling without moving into a much larger boat. It occupies the popular 45-foot luxury-yacht segment but offers a more specialised open-yacht proposition than many enclosed hardtop competitors. The trade-off is straightforward: less weather-protected upper-deck volume in exchange for a purer open-air experience.
