The launch of Maritimo’s much-awaited and now highly acclaimed M75 Flybridge Motor Yacht and S75 Sedan Motor Yacht was perfectly timed to coincide with Maritimo’s 20th anniversary celebrations in 2023. What better way to celebrate 20 years of success than with the launch of these world-class luxury motor yachts, delivering true ocean-going capabilities? In its two forms, the 75 class was then, and remains today, the very peak of opulence in scale and luxury offered by Maritimo. Clientele in Australia and around the world have embraced the product of many years of planning and development, along with the countless hours invested.
Now, a little over a year since all the popping of champagne corks, the clinking of glasses, and the fanfare, we thought it was time to check in on one Maritimo owner to find out how he and those near and dear have been enjoying their luxurious Maritimo S75 Sedan Motor Yacht.
“This is actually our first Maritimo, having come out of a Sport Yacht 6000, which we owned from 2015 to 2020. Overall, it was a terrific boat. I’d had it from new, so I didn’t have any issues, even though the engine room was a bit tight. However, we wanted something a little bigger because, you know, with boats, bigger is more comfortable, and you can access more out-of-the-way places. So, I went to the factory and said, ‘Can you make me one of these 10 or 15 feet bigger?’ They said they had no plans for a larger vessel. But right time, right place—I happened to talk to Maritimo’s Australasian Sales Manager, Ormonde Britton, who coincidentally lives in the same neighborhood as me.”
“Following that, I met the Maritimo design team. They had the M75 on the drawing board and were also considering the sedan version. I got in early, and my S75 was the first one to be built. It was the one showcased at SCIBS in 2023.”
