Itama 45 — classic yacht, exceptional day on the water

Six of us chartered the Itama 45 to mark a significant birthday, and it was the perfect choice for the occasion. The open-deck layout means everyone can see and socialise at the same time, and the wide sunpad aft is genuinely large enough for the whole group to relax on simultaneously. At speed she is remarkable — the Itama hull was designed for exactly these blue Adriatic waters and it shows. Our skipper was immensely knowledgeable about the coastline, found us an isolated cove for a two-hour swimming stop, and recommended an excellent restaurant on Šipan that none of us would have found otherwise. Drinks were cold, snorkelling gear was provided, and the whole day felt effortlessly well organised. Wonderful experience.
