James Clarke of Maritimo UK comments "Owning a Maritimo offers a completely new concept, and sets new standards in Motor Boating. We have enclosed the fly bridge creating a far more comfortable and pleasant living space much better suited to our seas and climate as well as offering a huge amount of additional internal space. The Maritimo's striking design is not only extremely attractive, with its sunken decks and extended lines but extremely functions - the entire range boasts vast cruising ranges (over 500 nautical Miles) and enviable fuel economy figures, all in all offering a Luxury, sea worth Boat that should be used all year round not just 6 months of the year. This is the next step in the evolution of luxury motor boating, the Maritimo Range has been widely accepted by the American and Australian markets I'm proud to announce that it's now available over here."
The Aussie boat building legend
Bill Barry-Cotter sometimes jokes that it takes 40 years to build a Maritimo. In all seriousness, he means that it's the culmination of his lifetime's work. A career that's made him Australia's most awarded boat builder - and renowned offshore racing champion.
In designing the Maritimo, Bill simply created the boat he had always wanted for himself. Having seen the best and worst of thousands of ocean-going vessels, he's picked the features he admires and added a few of his own. For example, the fully enclosed walk around decks, outdoor island BBQ and beautifully styled timber and stainless steel stairwell have Bill's fingerprints all over them.
Australian built long-range luxury cruisers
When you consider that Australia is the world's biggest island, it comes as no surprise that it's home to the new Maritimo Offshore, one of the world's finest long-range luxury cruisers.
After all, with a coastline measuring almost 60,000km in length, and facing the might of the Indian, Southern and Pacific oceans', you can't afford to compromise on engineering, performance or quality.
Shaped by the Environment
About midway between the heavenly Great Barrier Reef and the hellish Tasman Sea is Queensland's Gold Coast. This is the home of Maritimo, where the craft are appointed with all the mod-cons to be enjoyed in Australia's northern tropics at the same time as being engineered to withstand the rough seas to the south.
With a structural integrity second to none and possibly the cleanest, neatest and best-protected engineering and electrical systems available, some scribes have gone as far to say that the Maritimo range is "over-engineered!"
Genuine long-range cruising
For aficionados', the Maritimo has a variable deadrise planing hull with engines mounted forward and fuel tanks positioned amid ships. It's this advanced hull design and weight distribution that provides balance and poise. It also ensures a Maritimo has a soft, smooth ride, stays level when turning, is quicker to plane and offers unrivalled fuel economy. What's more, the large fuel tanks enable you to travel in excess of 1000 nautical miles on the plane without having to stop and refuel.
Twice the luxury
You'll pinch yourself to make sure you're not seeing double! Two double staterooms, two saloons, two aft decks, two designer-styled heads, two helm stations. You would be hard pressed to find any cruiser with so many luxurious appointments woven seamlessly into their design. And no other cruiser is easier to operate, maintain or enjoy.
For the discerning voyager
From the awesome power of twin Marine Diesels to the swathe of lavish appointments from the water up, everything aboard a Maritimo has been designed with one thing in mind -long-range luxury cruising.
In fact, no other cruiser looks, feels or performs like a Maritimo. It simply manages to be both timeless and ahead of its time. It truly is oceans apart.
