Maritimo M50 sells in U.S.

Full-beam master suite and core strengths branded 'a hit'.

One of the most successful flybridge motor yachts that Maritimo has ever produced, the M48 Cruising Motoryacht, has undergone a complete makeover and the new larger and more refined vessel, the M50, has already proven an international hit.


Before the first vessel was completed there were two sales in the USA as a result of the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show and discussions are underway with other prospective purchasers.


The first M50 has now been produced and is currently on its way to the Miami Boat Show in the United States.


The original M48 has been one of the company’s most successful models with more than 100 sold internationally and satisfied owners now using their M48  flybridge motoryachts in places as far away as Italy, Spain, the UK, the USA and the UAE.


The new-look M50 Cruising Motoryacht takes the tried and proven and enhances it even further.


Maritimo Sales and Marketing Manager Greg Haines said the revised M48 was a continuation of the company’s commitment to work on its core strengths and design differences in the cruising motor yacht market.


"Our enclosed flybridge designs, internal staircase, walk-around decks and aft galley configuration are all what Maritimo has become famous for and we have included and improved all those elements in our new M50," he said.


"We have lengthened the hull and changed the layout to provide a full beam master suite, a double guest cabin forward and starboard bunk cabin. In a run from the Maritimo corporate headquarters on Queensland’s Gold Coast in Australia to Sydney the M50 showed fuel efficiency savings of about 10 per cent compared to the M48.


"The major change in the new M50 is the full beam master suite which is luxurious and spacious making the boat perfect for families who have several children or for cruising couples who want their own space and privacy while also being able to take up to two other couples with them at times.


"By having their own master suite with ensuite their privacy and comfort is assured."


Mr Haines said the bi-fold doors between the saloon and the cockpit created a large open-plan living space when opened up.


Mr Haines said Maritimo had enjoyed considerable success with its M45 Cruising Motoryacht launched at the Sydney International Boat Show and it expected the new M50 to continue to attract buyers here and internationally.
