Italia Yachts

Italian performance cruisers, born on the racecourse.

Italia Yachts started near Venice in 2011, in the middle of the financial crisis, and grew into an established builder of fast sailing yachts. The first model, the 10.98, came from designer Matteo Polli; this was later followed by the collaboration with Cossutti Yacht Design. The 11.98 took first places at the 2019 and 2022 ORC World Championships. In 2022 the yard moved to a larger site in Castelvecchio, a few kilometres from the original location.

The current sailing range comprises the 9.98, 11.98, 12.98, 14.98 and 16.98. Most models are available in a sporty Fuoriserie version and in the more comfortable Bellissima version, with teak, twin wheels and a more luxurious interior. The 12.98 and 14.98 are more geared towards cruising. Under the name Veloce, the yard now also builds motor boats.
