In Pursuit of Perfection
Renowned Australian luxury motor yacht builder Maritimo introduces a series of updates to its line of venerable cruisers. These enhancements are designed to add yet another level of refinement and style to every Maritimo, and are aptly labeled the Black Edition.
The Black Edition is born from Maritimo’s objective to constantly perfect and improve even its best-selling models. The company’s meticulous review of onboard style, comfort, and functionality led to new elements of elegance and sophistication.
All of this is accomplished without compromising the unparalleled engineering and performance Maritimo yachts are known for. Relentless in their quest for excellence, Maritimo is proud to paint the striking Black Edition mark on new models going forward.
Better in Black
The Black Edition includes all the features and functions of its forebearers but with newly refined accoutrements and styling to the 55, 60 & 600 models across the M and Offshore Series.
Entertaining enhanced
A hallmark of Maritimos is their large open cockpits that seamlessly connect with the galley inside. The new Black Edition refines the cockpit with several practical and stylish improvements. A whole new re-designed larger transom island separates the main cockpit from the swim platform and now incorporates an upgraded lounge and expanded BBQ area, providing both elegance and functionality.
The new layout now includes a convenient lazarette access door alongside a built-in fridge and redesigned BBQ and sink. Access to the newly redesigned forward facing cockpit lounge is through twin integrated side gates.
The class leading upper cockpit area has even more space than before and this area can now be configured in several ways, including a fixed table along the aft long and the optional additional L-shaped seating with storage underneath with fixed table, and a convenient wet bar to the port side. The doors connecting the adjacent galley can either be slide or bi-fold to best suit the exterior seating arrangement.
A Glance Inside
The aft galley location, originally invented by Maritimo, provides convenient access for activities outdoors in the cockpit, inside to the salon, and up the adjacent stairwell to the flybridge. The Black Edition galley has taken this successful formula and combines this to offer increased counter space and functionality while maintaining excellent storage capabilities.
The fully equipped galley offers several enhancements, including more bench space on the starboard side without losing space for the hot plates, oven, and necessary storage. Combined with the upright existing fridge/freezer location is space for a new large overhead cupboard above the counter.
There is now the option for a wine fridge to be conveniently located in the island bench or underneath the stairs on the port side of the galley. Plus, the ability to store drinks and glassware in the cupboard facing forward into the salon area.
Leveled up
Within the enclosed flybridge the Black Edition helm brings the enhanced styling and layout of the flagship 75 into the new models. The low-profile dash features a totally redesigned multifunction and engine screen pods, with even better ergonomics for easy access to all the necessary controls. The upgraded fully electric helm seats complete the space to make it
The Black Edition also upgrades the existing cabinet to a two & three-door wet bar on the 55, 60 & 600, as well as a whole new lounge seat with storage options. Adding comfort, functionality and even more style to the Skylounge.
Up Front
The Black Edition increases the capabilities of the forward deck, taking cues from the expansive 75 deck with a new larger optional sun pad with adjustable backrests, dual drink holders, and hand rails on both sides. Combined with an additional forward-facing bow lounge it creates the perfect place for lounging and sunbathing. This area can also be converted for tender storage, equipped with a crane davit and removable chocks.
New Black Edition Maritimos on The Way
Current model Maritimos are renowned for their performance and handling in any conditions. Their engine and tank placements increase stability, and low shaft angles provide incredible efficiencies. The new Black Edition Maritimos maintains the engineering and design garnered from over twenty years of building enclosed flybridge motor yachts but takes this esteemed line to new heights of styling, comfort, and functionality.
The Global Launch of the Maritimo Black Edition will take place this May at the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show in Queensland, Australia, followed by the U.S. debut in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, in October 2024.
