Maritimo Launches Three New Models at Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show
Published: Monday, May 30, 2022 12:00 pm
Leading Australian luxury motor yacht manufacturer Maritimo will set one of the most heralded milestones in its near-20-year history at this year’s Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show with the global launch of three iconic new models.
The motor yacht builder will unveil the M60 Flybridge Motor Yacht alongside the M600 Offshore Flybridge and S600 Offshore Sedan models.
The three global launches will headline a six-model on-water display, which will feature the Maritimo M55 Flybridge, M60 Flybridge, M600 Offshore, S600 Offshore, S55 Sedan, and X50 Sport models from Maritimo’s iconic model range.
M60 Flybridge Motor Yacht
The latest global launch in the heralded Maritimo M-Series lineage comes in the form of the brand defining M60 Flybridge Motor Yacht. Instantly recognizable as a Maritimo, the new M60 Flybridge Motor Yacht sets new benchmarks for available deck space within its class.
Featuring Maritimo’s brand-defining enclosed flybridge skylounge with internal staircase, the climate-controlled area provides the ultimate comfort for any long-distance passage. Beyond the flybridge skylounge doors, the flybridge balcony deck offers unprecedented space, to the tune of more than 118 square feet (11.0 square meters) of protected outdoor deck area. With the flybridge bifold doors stacked open, the skylounge space creates an incredible total combined area measuring over 247 square feet (23.0 square meters).
On the main deck beyond the saloon doors, the expanse of deck space within the upper cockpit and adventure deck is unprecedented on a flybridge motor yacht of comparable size. Signature walkthrough side decks lay the pathway to the forward deck where those on board are secured by generous-height bulwarks and bowrail through to the forward anchor well.
The three-stateroom, two ensuite layout is designed to maximize every inch of the internal hull volume provided by the 17-foot (5.2m) beam.
Forward there is an offset queen stateroom with adjoining ensuite, with a generous twin single stateroom to starboard, whilst a class-leading full-beam king master stateroom is located amidships.
M600 Offshore Motor Yacht
The global launch of the M600 Offshore Motor Yacht marks the first model within the sensational new Offshore Series for Maritimo. With a long list of orders already secured for the Offshore flybridge variant since the Offshore Series was first digitally revealed last year, the M600 Offshore now takes the mantle of ultimate bluewater, offshore-cruising flybridge motor yacht.
The M600 Offshore has broad appeal both as a state-of-the-art fishing platform, with its specialty open-water angling attributes, or as a long-range, high-volume three-stateroom, two-ensuite luxury cruising motor yacht capable of intercontinental passage making.
The M600 Offshore features a carefully designed offshore cockpit, with open deck space and plenty of consideration for fishing functionality, combined with Maritimo’s experiences in flybridge cruising design.
The offshore cockpit provides an incredible 109.8 square feet (10.2 square meters) of open deck space, featuring 7 feet 10 inches (2.4 meters) length of open deck along the centerline between the aft transom wells and the forward-mounted island entertainment module, providing ample area for a fighting chair if desired. Integrated into the cockpit space are large wing lockers, transom wells, in deck fish boxes, enclosed transom gate, rod holders, and flush gunwale capping.
Beneath the cockpit floor and in-deck fishboxes is a large lazarette storage area, accessible by day hatch or a large electrically actuated opening for gaining access to store large items, such as diving gear.
S600 Offshore Motor Yacht
The third and final Global Launch within Maritimo’s 2022 SCIBS On Water display comes in the form of the S600 Offshore Motor Yacht, which marks as the single level sedan variant within the new Offshore Series.
The new S600 Offshore Motor Yacht combines the functionality of the offshore cockpit and open-water fishing practicality, in combination with a single-level sedan design.
The S600 incorporates a unique hardtop design by which Maritimo’s design division has maximized the practical use of storage onboard the S600 by enabling access to the often-unused sedan hardtop from the upper cockpit deck via overhead hatch and ladder. This access allows the hardtop to be utilized as a utility deck space for storage of a tender or other items, freeing the transom area of the boat for activities including fishing and diving.
Maritimo’s Lead Designer, Tom Barry-Cotter, said the brand’s three global launches at SCIBS were a first for the show.
“We are very excited to be displaying these magnificent vessels for the first time and we are extremely confident that visitors to our display will also recognize them as truly world class luxury motor yachts,” he said.
