Ita 14.99 Buyer's Guide
The Ita 14.99 is a 50-foot Italian performance cruiser catamaran that began production in 2018 under ITACatamarans, a relatively new brand. Built around an epoxy-infused, foam-sandwich hull with carbon strengthening and a factory electric drive, it appeals to cruisers who want speed and short-handed manageability without surrendering bluewater credibility. On the used market it is encountered mostly as owner three-cabin layouts, though other arrangements appear, and ex-charter examples are common.
Layouts on the Used Market
Owner three-cabin layouts are the more common on the used market, but both are available; ex-charter examples are common. The twin helm stations sit on the aft coaming rather than atop the coachroof, which keeps the central cockpit clear as a social space and avoids shifting helm weight upward where it would hurt stability anchor. A low-profile coachroof and dreadnought bows shape the deck and forward volume, so buyers should look at how each specific hull’s interior was finished under the yard’s semi-custom construction rather than assuming a single standard plan.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Used 14.99s commonly carry a code zero, asymmetrical and conventional spinnakers, life raft, chartplotter, AIS, radar, bimini, freezer, electric winches, inverter, lithium batteries, solar, watermaker, swim platform, dinghy davits, autopilot, and air conditioning. That cluster means a buyer inherits serious off-grid energy and downwind capability, but should verify the lithium and solar sizing against their own load. Often-seen additions include a self-tacking jib, furling main, washing machine, and cockpit shower — the furling main and self-tacker suit short-handed sailing, while the washing machine signals a comfort-oriented owner or ex-charter history.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
The typical market for these cats is the United States. A short pre-purchase checklist:
- Confirm the semi-custom layout matches your cruising plan.
- Verify lithium bank and solar capacity under load.
- Exercise the winch-trimmed daggerboards for free movement.
- Inspect electric winch and autopilot function at the helms.
- Check charter wear if the hull is an ex-charter example.
