ITASCA yacht interior

The ITASCA yacht interior was designed by the popular prestigious yacht designer, Judy Bell Davis.

A warm color palette, marble-laden en-suites, custom millwork, and high-end furnishings decorate the inside of this first-class vessel.

Across her three decks a peculiar decoration “dresses” the interior, with an interesting choice of patterns, textures, and fabrics, she is definitely one of the oldies. 

ITASCA was designed to comfortably accommodate up to 10 guests in five suites, consisting of one master suite (located on a separate deck), three double cabins, and one twin cabin, all with en-suite bathrooms. She can also carry 12 crew members. 

To make the experience on board even more comfortable, the ITASCA yacht has a well-equipped gym and sauna.

ITASCA yacht exterior

The ITASCA yacht features both exterior design and naval architecture by J&K Smits Scheepswerven. 

Both her hull and superstructure are built with steel, with a Teak deck. The ITASCA yacht hull was reinforced for very extreme weather conditions, especially for polar ice. 

The exterior perfectly combines three bright yet sober colors, white green, and red, matching the aesthetics on the inside. 

She is also equipped with a helipad and large tenders. She has been upgraded to include bow and stern thrusters.
