30 YACHTS & YACHTING
One of the factors that has had the greatest influence on the layout of the lower deck is the decision to position the owner’ s cabin aft – a layout typically found on larger open yachts – which optimises space at the same time as reducing the perception of noise. The bed is centrally positioned, with access on the port side to the private master bathroom, complete with all modern amenities.
The interior dinette and galley area are situated forward. On the starboard side, the dinette features a spacious L-shaped sofa with storage compartments and an extending table. Opposite is a fully equipped corner galley and a wall-mounted television( up to 55-inch). Every space has been designed to combine functionality and organisation and so maximise the available storage, with various cupboards in the hallway and the option of installing a washer-dryer under the stairs connecting the two decks.
The lower deck is completed by two guest cabins, both with ensuite bathrooms. The VIP cabin is in the bow, while the guest cabin is located on the port side, featuring a queen-size bed and the option, on request, to add a pullman bed. The bathroom in the guest cabin can also be used as a dayhead, thanks to access from the hallway.
There is also the option, on request, of a single crew cabin with a separate bathroom, accessible from the aft sun pad. Otherwise, the space can be fitted out as a storage room, providing yet another solution for organising and optimising space on board.
The style code featured in the exterior design is also reflected in the interiors, where the Itama tradition is reimagined in a contemporary style through the use of simple yet refined materials, such as leather and wood, which help to create a warm, welcoming and elegant atmosphere. The colour customisation option makes it possible to choose between warm date-coloured tones and fresher, brighter shades of blue, creating spaces full of character and style, in true Itama fashion.
