2021 Maritimo S55 sedan teased
Maritimo teases a new addition to its S-Series sedan line that not only breaks the mould but sets fire to the old oneQueensland-based luxury motor yacht maker Maritimo has teased a new sedan model it will launch next year that will become the focus of this week’s Sanctuary Cove Boating Festival.
Few details are known about the new model, with a single darkened image teased on social media.
UPDATE: Maritimo has since revealed the 2021 Maritimo S55 in full ahead of the Sanctuary Cove Boating festival. Read about it here.
However, with a little bit of Photoshop trickery, boatsales.com.au can reveal even more detail ahead of Friday’s official reveal.

What we're looking at is the newest member of Maritimo's growing family of S-Series single-level saloon models.
In the past, the S-Series has been defined by a single large hull window and a letterbox-style saloon window wrapping around most of the saloon's coach house.
More natural light
With this new model, though, we can see three separate windows stretching along the hull, and what appears to be glass surrounding the entire saloon.
You can also see the saloon's roof arcs out over the cockpit space.
Okay, let's open up Photoshop and see what extra detail we can reveal.
Okay, where do we start?
We can't see anything below the waterline, but the new Maritimo S55 appears to keep the same defined waistline above the hull windows as the existing models. The rearmost windows appear to be letting natural light into the engine room.
Sleeker lines
What's gone, though, is the distinctive curve through the gunnels as the eye runs aft that has defined the other three models in the S-Series line-up - the Maritimo S51, S59 and flagship S70.
Instead, the gunnels on the new Maritimo S55 look as though they've been etched with a ruler.
We can see there's plenty of glass around the new-look saloon that loses the protruding brow to form a more flush, aerodynamic profile around its leading edge.
Of note, the radomes appear to have moved further aft, presumably to create less aerodynamic drag at cruising speeds.
Maritimo is expected to reveal more details about the new Maritimo S55 at this week's Sanctuary Cove Boating Festival, a stopgap event that has become a preview for the 2021 Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show after the 2020 show was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The invitation-only event kicks off from Friday and runs until Sunday.
