Australian luxury motor yacht builder Maritimo unveiled its new S60 Sedan Motor Yacht at the 2025 Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show earlier this year. Based on the popular M60 Flybridge, the S60 brings single-level sophistication and many sought-after “Black Edition” upgrades, enhancing both style and functionality.
Designed as both a luxurious entertainer and a true bluewater cruiser, the S60 combines sleek aesthetics with intelligent practicality. Its extended roofline offers sleek profile and protection, while seamless indoor-outdoor transitions enhance its social flow. The foredeck features a sculptured sunbed with a folding backrest and optional shade. A standout feature is the enhanced cockpit boot module, which houses an Epicure BBQ, fridge, sink, and provides access to a vast lazarette, ideal for storing everything from dive gear to paddleboards. The spacious swim platform accommodates tenders, while the roof’s Utility Deck, accessible by ladder, can carry SUPs, kayaks, and even the tender itself, launched via a 250kg davit.
Inside, the open-plan saloon is light-filled with expansive windows and optional sunroof. Aft, Maritimo’s signature galley layout ensures excellent connection between the chef and guests, indoors and out. The floating dash offers full navigational control, with cameras for added peace of mind. Accommodation is equally refined. The full-beam Master Stateroom includes a king bed, private bathroom, and panoramic hull windows. The VIP Stateroom features an angled bed and clever under-bed storage, while a third, flexible cabin converts between twin or double at the push of a button. Additional touches include a pull-out laundry in the companionway and luxurious Black Edition bathroom fittings.
Performance-wise, the S60 is built for range and capability. With a low draft of 1.35m and efficient eight-degree shaft angle, it offers close-in anchoring and long- distance cruising. Fuel is centrally located under the Master bed to aid balance and comfort, giving the S60 a range of up to 2,200nm at displacement speeds. Power options include Volvo-Penta and Scania engines from 800 to 1150hp. The launch model is powered by twin Scania Di13 900hp inline-sixes, paired with ZF gearboxes, echoing the trusted setup from Maritimo’s first single-level C60.
Maritimo founder Bill Barry-Cotter reflected, “The S60 is built for unforgettable memories. Our commitment to luxury, performance, and long-range capability drives every yacht we build.”
