Maritimo has described its new S50 sedan motoryacht as “ideal for Southeast Asia”, with the Australian shipyard now represented in the region by Primus Marine.

Maritimo staged the world premiere of the S50 at this year’s Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show, where the builder stated that a record 1,400 people booked viewings at their display, which included six Maritimo yachts and two by recently acquired Caribbean.

Released a year after the M50 flybridge model, the two-stateroom S50 incorporates new design elements inspired by the success of the M-Series model as well as the S55. The S50 features a sleek, automotive-inspired silhouette, a slender hardtop and a redefined interior flow that increases natural light and living space.

The S50’s running platform builds on the M50’s proven engineering while shedding unnecessary weight through refined laminates and infusion processes. A single-level cockpit and saloon layout enhances connectivity, and helps create a sense of openness and comfort rarely found in a 50ft yacht.

The cockpit is larger due to a new European-style boot that hinges from just in front of the curved seat and reveals the entire lazarette, ideal for housing water toys. In the galley, which has 2.4m of headroom, the pantry and bureau can hold drawer fridges, wine storage or an ice maker.

An angled, two-seater settee between the galley and main lounge – which has a 2m ceiling height – can easily convert into an extra double bed. To port, a C-shaped dinette is the main interior social space, while there’s abundant natural light through windows with slim frames, enhancing the sense of space and offering clear views from the helm, saloon and galley.

Below deck, there’s ample headroom in both the full-beam owner’s suite midships and the forward VIP cabin, where the double bed is arranged at an angle to enable easy access from both sides. As well as benefiting from big windows, the cabins enjoy light and fresh air through opening portholes and deck hatches.

“The S50’s blend of innovation and craftsmanship positions it as the perfect contender for the Southeast Asian market,” Maritimo stated. “With its new hardtop design, increased cockpit and storage space, and a master suite that rivals much larger yachts, it delivers on Maritimo’s commitment to luxury cruising without compromising on performance, liveability and comfort.”

The S50 is the entry model for an S-Series that also features the S55, S60 and S75 sedan models, while the M-Series comprises the M50, M55, M60 and M75 flybridge motoryachts. The Offshore Series comprises the M600 and S600, offering fishing-focused versions of the M60 and S60 respectively.
