Since its launch last year, Maritimo’s mighty M75 Flybridge flagship has already proven a hit. Having been bought by Australian and New Zealand owners, and the first of two American M75s set to be delivered in August, there are also Asian sales in the pipeline. Testament to the broad appeal Maritimo has mustered, it reflects the brand’s sturdy build and powerful engine options that mean the M75 can safely handle heavy offshore weather if it crops up, while mostly cruising comfortably on longer- range voyages.
Case in point, the first hull’s Kiwi owner – who has had three prior Maritimos – had no qualms about confidently setting off across the Tasman to Auckland, and is currently taking his M75 to some renowned surfing spots in Indonesia. That tallies with our first impressions of the yacht up on the Gold Coast, where the M75 instantly brought its presence to bear – this is a large, well-constructed flybridge model with three racy-looking hull windows providing light into and views out from below deck.
