The Italia 9.98 is a seminal vessel in the modern performance-cruising landscape, serving as the catalyst that catapulted Italia Yachts onto the international stage. Launched in 2014 and designed by the renowned naval architect Matteo Polli in collaboration with the shipyard’s in-house team, the 9.98 was engineered with a singular, clinical objective: to dominate the ORC (Offshore Racing Congress) International handicap circuit. The design achieved this goal with unprecedented speed, securing back-to-back ORC World Championships in 2015 and 2016. Despite its racing pedigree, the 9.98 is built with a level of structural integrity and aesthetic refinement that differentiates it from the sparse "black boats" of the pure racing world. It is available in two distinct configurations—the "Fuoriserie," optimized for regattas with tiller steering and a minimalist deck, and the "Bellissima," which introduces twin wheels and a more comfortable interior for fast cruising.
