The Italcraft 105 is a maxi open with eye-catching lines and a 50-square-metre deck capable of accommodating a whole plethora of passengers in the greatest of comfort.

Needless to say, performance is a major issue with a craft as sporty as this one. Twin 2400 hp MTU common rail engines coupled with Arneson surface drives ensure that the Italcraft 105 hits a very impressive 41 knots flat out and cruises contentedly at 36 knots (with a 400-mile range to boot).

The stern platform leads up to the cockpit where a sun pad extends all the way to the roomy sofa. Moving forward we find a C-shaped dinette with extendible table that seats 8 to 10 and is served by a fridge-bar unit with barbecue. The dinette is shaded by the deckhouse overhang which extends for a couple of metres electrically so that it can cover almost all of the cockpit. Wide walkways and high sides lead forward to a 19-square-metre sun pad and a sea-front sofa.
