Itama 45S (2011 - 2023) Rivals

Accommodation

The Itama 45S offers a versatile accommodation layout that caters to both day boating enthusiasts and those who may occasionally seek overnight or weekend getaways. Additionally, its maximum guest capacity of four ensures there's ample space for a small group of friends or family, making it suitable for day outings with the possibility of occasional overnight or weekend use. Conversely, some of its rivals like the Wally wallytender48, Wally wallytender43, Cranchi A46 Luxury Tender, Windy Boats SR44 and Cruisers Yachts 42 GLS OB with their limited cabin configurations for two guests, may be better suited for day boating enthusiasts who prioritize open-water adventures and occasional overnight escapes.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Itama 45S delivers a steady 30 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Windy Boats SR44 with an impressive cruising speed of 32 knots. The Itama 45S emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed, catering to a different set of priorities. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Wally wallytender48, with the slowest cruising speed of 26 knots, emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and enjoying the journey over the destination.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Wally wallytender48 impresses with its extensive range of 509 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Formula Boats 40, Fjord Yachts 44 Open and Pardo Yachts P43 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Windy Boats SR44 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 43 knots and cruising speed of 32 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Itama 45S stands out with notable features and design elements. These yachts cater to a wide range of preferences and needs, making the choice a matter of personal taste and specific requirements in the world of luxury yachting.
