The Australian shipyard’s all-new M50 will make its North American premiere in Palm Beach in late March.
Maritimo will unveil its all-new M50 (click for Review) to the North American market at the Palm Beach International Boat Show (March 25-29) in Florida. The enclosed-flybridge motoryacht will exhibit alongside the M55, S55 sedan and M75, the flagship of the Australian shipyard founded by Bill Barry-Cotter (click for interview).
Keith Teynor, Maritimo’s Managing Director of the Americas, said: “Palm Beach has long been a cornerstone event for Maritimo in North America. It’s the perfect stage to introduce the M50, an incredibly important model for Maritimo as 50ft is a true sweet spot for owner-operators. It delivers the offshore capability, comfort and versatility needed for a wide range of cruising styles and conditions.
“Just as important is the exceptional owner experience we’re able to deliver through our factory-direct sales model where customers work directly with the people who design, build and stand behind their yachts. That relationship is a defining part of the Maritimo ownership journey.”
Powered by twin 800hp Volvo Penta D13 inboard engines on straight shafts, the M50 cruises at 24 knots and has a top speed of about 30 knots, while range benefits from a 3,700-litre fuel capacity.
The aft area includes a fold-up swim platform and a cockpit offering alfresco dining. The interior includes an aft, L-shaped galley featuring a central island, premium European appliances and extensive storage.
Forward, the saloon features two facing sofas and an adjustable table. To port, stairs lead aft to the enclosed flybridge, which includes a twin-seat helm station, sofas fore and aft with pull-out convertible accommodation, refrigeration, and three overhead skylights, two of which can open.
The lower deck includes a full-beam master suite featuring expansive hull windows with opening portholes, two large hanging wardrobes, and a large en-suite bathroom. Forward, a luxurious VIP stateroom features a versatile double berth that converts into two singles, abundant storage, and access to a forward bathroom that doubles as the day head.
