Australian luxury motor yacht manufacturer Maritimo, is set to begin an exciting new era as it unveils the largest motor yacht in its history, with the global reveal last week of the brand’s latest flagship vessel, in the form of the new M75 Flybridge Motor Yacht.
Of all the Maritimo flagships that precede it, none have had the level of customer input or degree of design development as the M75 Flybridge Motor Yacht. This stunning vessel will set Maritimo apart from its competitors on the international stage.
Maritimo’s Director of Design, Tom Barry- Cotter said the all new M75 has stemmed from the most in-depth design and development process ever undertaken in Maritimo history, with it being conceptualized and developed with Maritimo’s design division and collaborating owners for more than two years.
In preparation for the evolution of the new M75, Maritimo’s state of the art Australian based production facilities underwent extensive upgrades and expansions, which were completed in 2019. The facilities were purposely designed to give Maritimo the capability of manufacturing larger vessels, such as the M75.
The M75 sets a new tide mark for Maritimo with its inherited capacities and capabilities. It’s 23.07m by 6.0m hull is the latest evolution of Maritimo’s longstanding experience in long range cruising hull design. The variable deadrise hull with deep keel, sharp bow entry and flattened progression aft has been focused on offshore cruising efficiency, cruising comfort and stability.
The Hull design and engineering are centred on straight shaft drive technology with the standard Scania Di16-1150MHP power units transferring power to the water via an ultra-efficient, shallow straight shaft angle to the 5x Blade Nibral Propellers. The M75’s low angle straight shaft drives also reduce overall draft to a very versatile 1.5m (4’11”) opening an array of anchorage possibilities within any region.
Engine upgrade options include MTU 10V2000M86 1380MHP and MTU 10V2000 M96L 1625MHP power units.
Step aboard, and the first impression the M75 emanates is certainly that of unsurpassed amounts of deck space. The M75 adventure deck creates an incredibly versatile hub for lounging, cooking, adventuring or storage, with plenty of room to spare.
Three steps up from the adventure deck is the gigantic upper cockpit deck, where the deck space spreads outwards to the outer bulwarks, maximising available decks space.
thanks to the on-deck storage lockers being located aft on the lower adventure deck.
Seamlessly connecting the upper cockpit deck and the luxurious saloon lounging area, is the iconic Maritimo long range aft galley. The M75 touts Maritimo’s largest and most bespoke galley to date.
Veiling all sides of the M75 saloon are enormous sections of glazing, injecting the surrounding seascapes right into the living and dining areas. There is also the added option of Maritimo’s unique two stage vista sliding windows which transform the entire saloon into an indoor/outdoor retreat.
A defining feature of the Maritimo M-Series is its recognisable enclosed flybridge sky lounge with internal staircase – providing the ultimate comfort for any long-distance passage.
The flagship’s accommodations are designed around a four stateroom and three ensuite layout, with the option for further crew accommodation and ensuite in lieu of the aft utility cabin. The M75 also offers much larger tender storage options within the forward deck landing with the option for a forward mounted 500kg davit, as well as large tender storage options atop of the expansive adventure deck with hydraulic platform.
The global reveal of the iconic new flagship marks the seventh launch or reveal for Maritimo in 2021, as the renowned long range motor yacht brand sees unprecedented demand, with several orders for the M75 already in its production pipeline.
The M75 Flybridge Motor Yacht is slated for its official global launch late 2022.
