Maritimo M65 sells strongly
Five boats sold before the moulds are completed. See the updated images and videoIt looks like Maritimo has struck a winner with its all-new Maritimo M65 cruising motoryacht with five now sold even before the moulds have been completed.
Big boat enthusiasts have embraced the M65 and the company expects more orders for it at the Sydney International Boat Show and international shows in coming months at Cannes, Genoa and Fort Lauderdale.
"This is a serious motoryacht and the interest we have had in this new model has been tremendous,” according to Maritimo sales and marketing manager Greg Haines.
"The five we have sold are going to Adelaide, Sydney, the Gold Coast and Brisbane owners and we feel confident that when prospective buyers can actually see the finished product there will be a wave of further sales.
"Sydney [Boat Show] will be the next test for us and we are confident of strong interest.
"This is a go-anywhere motor yacht which can accommodate a family in style, safety and comfort for some genuine bluewater passage-making," Haines added.
Mr Haines said the engines combos ranged from twin 900 horsepower Volvo engines through to four 700 horsepower Volvos and various options in between. It is the only boat in the Maritimo range that can be powered by four engines.
He said of the five that have been sold, the engine options have included Cat, Scania and MAN diesels.
"The vessels we will soon start building will be set up primarily for both cruising and fishing pursuits and all have been ordered with gyro stabilisers.
"The base price for these boats is $2.865 million and then they are optioned up form there."
The M65 Motoryacht will have four main cabins including a full-beam master and full-beam ensuite.
The VIP cabin is the same size as the master cabin on the previously released M60. A crew cabin is optional.
Mr Haines said the flybridge was larger than the saloons on most boats and there were options for convertible berths, relocatable tables and a wet bar.
"The flybridge on this vessel is really like the second storey of an apartment, it is massive and can be used for additional sleeping quarters or entertaining," Haines concluded.
