The Forty is the new Italian style ambassador in the Arab Emirates 
Itama goes on stage at the Dubai International Boat Show,
one of the most important events in the international yachting panorama. An acclaimed ambassador of authentic “Italian style” in the Arab Emirates, the famous shipyard has opted to display at this prestigious exhibition the craft that marked the company’s entry to the Ferretti Group and which continues to represent the essence of Itama: Itama Forty.
With its refined, sophisticated interiors, this agile, sporting day cruiser is the ideal choice for anyone looking for an elegant craft featuring timeless Italian design. From March 3 to 7 at the Dubai International Marine Club, Itama Forty will be on display in the Group’s booth. The Ferretti Group, one of the leading companies in the design, construction and marketing of luxury motoryachts, with a unique portfolio of nine of the most exclusive brands in the nautical world, is back this year to consolidate its presence at this major event that is steadily gaining strategic importance in the sector.
The Arab Emirates International Boat Show continues to grow every year, demonstrated by last year’s show that registered a 12% increase in the number of visitors, an 18% increase in exhibitors, a 24% increase in the number of boats displayed and no less than 810 participating companies.
Itama, the brand that has written the story of Italian open yachting, will be taking part at this important event to demonstrate its widely acclaimed popularity that has increased still further since September 2008, when it established its headquarters at the impressive Torre Annunziata Yacht Centre, a modern production facility that covers an area of over 125,000m².
Itama Forty Itama Forty is a day cruiser that can accommodate up to 8 people aboard. The sleek, streamlined shape of this craft is uniquely and sportively Itama, with its distinctive 22° deep “V” hull that guarantees unrivalled handling. The Itama Forty reaches a peak speed of 34 knots thanks to its twin 480hp CUMMINS engines that guarantee superior performance and make this open yacht not only powerful, but also extremely reliable thanks to its perfect cruising trim. The below decks layout combines a refined, essential design with spacious, modular interiors. This model, which is particularly distinctive on account of its aft master cabin, bathroom and spacious dinette with retractable galley is available in two different versions, with one cabin or two.
The Itama fleet When perfecting the new Itama design, which coincides with the shipyard’s entry into the Ferretti Group at the end of 2004, Itama’s yacht designer, architect Marco Casali, has been careful to retain the sleek appeal of Itama style and preserve the unmistakeable deep V-shaped hull that has always been the hallmark of these open yachts’ unrivalled sea handling. The models currently in production include the Itama Forty, Itama FiftyFive and the Itama SeventyFive, the shipyard’s new flagship that was unveiled last June to the widespread applause of yachting experts and the general public. The current yachting year also holds in store the launch of the brand new Fifty. The entire range is now constructed at Torre Annunziata Yacht Centre.
