Italia IV Power Catamaran Hire

Italia IV is a 2025 Prestige M48 power catamaran for private weeks from Sicily, Italy. The hull is 14.79 metres long with a 6 metre beam, twin 320 horsepower engines, and a top speed around 16 knots, so the day can run from a quiet cove to a new harbour without a long motor. Prestige drew the M48 as an open living platform: a covered flybridge, a hydraulic swim platform that drops as a beach club or tender dock, forward sun pads with adjustable backs, and a teak cockpit with a timber table.

Eight guests sleep in four double cabins, each with a private bathroom. A separate crew cabin keeps the skipper out of the guest passage. The salon sits in a ring of glass, with a pale lounge, a dark table, and a galley that faces the conversation. LED strips, pale oak joinery, and a lower helm keep the interior calm after a bright Sicilian afternoon. Air, shade, and a wide stance make the boat easy on a mixed group that wants both a nap and a swim in the same hour.

On deck the flybridge is the social room, with a U-shaped sofa, sunbeds, and a table that can come out or go away. The swim platform is the water door: Seabob sessions are listed as an extra, and the tender lives there when you want a beach landing. Sicily is the home water, with short hops along the north coast or a longer run toward the Aeolian islands when the sea is kind.

Italia IV charters with a crew of one. Weekly rates are published from 20000 euros in the quieter months and 21500 euros from 15 June to 15 September, plus VAT and the usual extras such as skipper, hostess, tender, and final cleaning. The week is about new 2025 spaces, Sicilian light, and a Prestige that still feels like the first season.
