About Italia Yachts

Leaders in world championship designs

Italia Yachts are a premium performance brand, that produce a range of outstanding pedigree racer/cruiser yachts from 33 to 71 feet.  In 2023,  an exciting new line of power boat models was unveiled, a sleek and alluring 43 Veloce that will debut at the Miami Boat Show in February.

Founded in 2011 in Chioggia – Venice, Italia Yachts is a boatyard with a mission: to design and build yachts that are high-grade, fast, stylish and safe, for demanding sailors looking for a one-of-a-kind product with a timeless design.

After a rapid five year expansion strategy all elements of production are located centrally with a new facility based in Castelnuovo – Fano, on Italy’s’ east coast.

Highly Experienced & Dedicated Team

The Italia Yachts is made up of a dedicated team of professionals led by CEO Daniele De Tullio who is a passionate and experienced sailor and racer himself.  Indeed many of the team have participated in years of racing at the highest levels (European, World, America’s Cup, Admiral’s Cup), and also have a deep knowledge of commercial, production, and industrial dynamics acquired over the years at leading shipyards and international businesses around the world.

The design of these unmistakable and aesthetically striking models is attributed to Maurizio Cossutti and his team since the beginning in 2011.  Starting with the design of the IY 10.98 in collaboration with Italia Yachts’s team.  A unique mix of sportiness and tradition wrapped in a balance that still continues across the range today.

Todays design brief is to create instantly recognisable, fast and highly ergonomic yachts with an emphasis on positioning and loading of deck gear, and equipment. The working cockpit areas are large, open and comfortable promoting ease of movement. Below decks are defined by elegance and refinement with the use of high quality materials and hand-crafted finishes ensuring a pleasant and welcoming interior. 

In Pursuit of Excellence and customer satisfaction

Italia Yachts continues to lead the way in pursuit of excellence and customer satisfaction with a new initiative – 55 checks approved – 3 years warranty.
 
The 55 meticulously approved checks span the entire construction process, from hull fabrication to boat delivery. Italia Yachts demonstrates a steadfast commitment to quality by consolidating all processing phases in Fano, ensuring consistent excellence in each yacht.  Each of the 55 key aspects are then broken down into numerous sub-elements, delving into the minutest details. This extra layer of precision reflects Italia Yachts dedication to bringing the true essence of Made in Italy to the market, ensuring their yachts and new power boat range surpass expectations.
 
As a testament to their confidence, Italia Yachts extends the warranty by an additional year. “We eliminate typical issues associated with craftsmanship, providing boat owners peace of mind” stated Daniele De Tullio, CEO of Italia Yachts.

Bellissima  Vs  Fuoriserie

The Philosophy at Italia Yachts is to provide the very best by way of performance and comfort.  To effectively meet the needs of their customers the team at Italia in conjunction with the design team and naval architects developed two versions of the models from IY 9.98 to 14.98.

The sportier version known as Fuoriserie (customised/made to order) is truly optimised for performance.  For the larger models there is a weight saving in the displacement and reduced wetted surface.  The sail area is larger and in some cases additional winches and more ergonomic layout of deck gear for ease of movement for the crew.  Tiller steer is standard.

The Bellissima (very beautiful) version still offers incredible performance but has added features desirable for cruising including wheel steering, fixed bow sprits, larger cockpit benches with optional teak.  Below decks extra consideration is given to storage with additional cabinetry, wider range of luxurious and stylish fabric selections and wood choices.

Awards and achievements

The first model built by Italia Yachts was the IY 10.98 by the founder Franco Corazza and made its debut at the Genoa Boat Show.  Not long after the launch of the IY 13.98 in 2012 Italia Yachts received their first, and what would become, a long line of prestigious European Yacht of the Year Awards, nominations and winners of ORC World Championship regattas.

Indeed the IY 9.98 is one of the only models across all brands to achieve back-to-back wins of the coveted ORC World Championships in 2015 and 2016.
