exterior Design
The deck layout of the IY 11.98 Bellissima is a study in clean, elegant design. From the bow to the stern, every element has been carefully considered to be both practical for sailing and comfortable for living onboard.
The cockpit seating benches are easily removed to create more space for racing, allowing you to fully unleash the boat’s impressive performance. But when it’s time to switch into cruising mode, the Bellissima has you covered with a range of optional extras.
