Defined by its iconic deep-V hull, this 1972 Italcraft X 33 represents a significant piece of Italian maritime history. Only 80 units were produced by the Gaeta shipyard, with this particular vessel being a rare find for collectors and enthusiasts. The hull is constructed from robust, armored plywood, showcasing the structural integrity that earned the X33 its reputation for excellent sea-keeping capabilities.
This specific vessel underwent a comprehensive and documented restoration in 2018, which received recognition in specialized nautical publications.

With a cruising speed of 20 knots and a maximum speed of 25 knots, this classic cruiser balances historical charm with reliable performance.
Accommodation is intelligently laid out for its 9.98-meter length, featuring two cabins and one bathroom. The interior comprises an L-shaped sofa in the dinette, a functional bar area with a fridge and sink, and a forward steering position. Below deck, the layout includes a galley equipped with cooking hobs and a guest cabin with bunk beds. Exterior living is supported by a spacious cockpit accessible via the swim platform and an upper flybridge equipped with pilot seating and external steering controls.
