Maritimo launches all new Aegean 60
Monday, 08 December 2008
Maritimo, Australia’s premier manufacturer of long-range luxury motor yachts, has just launched the first of its Aegean range, the Aegean 60.
Essentially, the A60 (as it is commonly referred to) is the 60 Sports Cabriolet with a beautifully-styled open flying bridge added to its superstructure. Access to the flybridge is via an internal staircase on the starboard side just aft of the lower of the two helm stations.
Australians love outdoor entertaining and there is certainly plenty of room for that aboard the A60. The open flybridge provides a comfortable area to enjoy the views and the sun, and those seeking some shade can specify a bimini top.
Down below, the expansive cockpit has more than enough room for al fresco dining, and boating gourmets will love the aft galley which provides all the luxuries of home – and more. There’s ample fridge and freezer space, plenty of storage, a cocktail cabinet and even a dishwasher for easy clean-ups.
Elsewhere, the A60 boasts all the luxury, safety, comfort and performance of the C60.
An impressive saloon, four staterooms, including a full-width master with superb en-suite and walk-in wardrobe, all add to the A60’s undeniable appeal.
When it’s time to go ashore, the cockpit sole elevates and the transom drops at the push of a button to reveal a garage big enough to store a 3.5 metre tender. The tender conveniently slides in and out – no more cranes or tenders on the foredeck.
Moving into the engine room we find that it’s the same impressive setup as that aboard the C60, full-height headroom, big-boat systems, and dual C12 Caterpillar diesels each delivering 715 horsepower which provide the stylish vessel with 30-knot performance.
A ZF gearbox delivers the power through conventional shaft drives to the five-bladed Teignbridge propellers.
This all combines to make the Aegean 60 a truly world-class vessel in all areas – luxury, looks, convenience and performance.
