Australianmanufacturer Maritimo made a strategic decision late last year to re-focus on its core strengths and to design and release a totally new range of high performance luxury motoryachts and it seems to be paying off.
Maritimo says that one of the products of that re-think, the new Maritimo M58 Motoryacht has taken the Australian, USA and European markets by storm. The latest sale has seen an M58 customised slightly for the Monaco marketplace with a crew quarters being incorporated into the rear of the vessel.
Maritimo Sales and Marketing manager Greg Haines said the latest sale to Monaco was in indication of the new boats popularity.
"When we showed the boat for the first time we knew we were on a winner and the enthusiasm for this vessel has continued to grow at the Sanctuary Cove, Sydney and Fort Lauderdale shows.
"In Fort Lauderdale recently the AIMM Power and Motoryacht Magazine 2012 Editor’s Choice Award – Best imported Motoryacht 50-60 feet was awarded to the M58.
"With the economic conditions that are prevailing in Europe we are very pleased to be seeing one of the M58s headed to Monaco and the inclusion of a crew quarters into the vessel indicates the type of purchaser who will ultimately be enjoying it." The vessel is being shipped in January.
Mr Haines said everything about the M58 had been thoroughly researched and reviewed and the inclusion of benefits such as the full-beam master stateroom with ensuite and chaise lounge, make-up vanity or study and large portholes port and starboard had underwritten its appeal.
“On the business end of things the nine-degree shaft angle and thick shaft diameter, dynamic variable deadrise hand-laid hull, with five-year structural guarantee, and shaft drive technology with optional Xenta joystick control provides a formidable package," he said.
"There’s also large fuel tanks for long range cruising and the best fuel efficiency in its class so you can go further, for longer.”
With its extended aft flybridge balcony, bar and drinks fridge it is the perfect place to relax at the end of the day and watch the sun go down or the stars come out.
Mr Haines said the M58 came standard with twin Volvo D13 800mhp engines and has a cruising speed of approximately 25 knots.
The vessel sleeps a total eight people in privacy and comfort and there are two fully equipped bathrooms including the master stateroom ensuite.
The M58 is marketed at $2.05 million.
