Maritimo Boats History & Heritage
Bill Barry-Cotter, the owner of Maritimo, stands out as a unique figure in the world of motorboat company owners, having raced Class One powerboats at speeds exceeding 170mph.
With more than 40 years of expertise in powerboat racing and design, Barry-Cotter has been instrumental in shaping the yacht offerings of Maritimo. Renowned as Australia's most awarded boat builder, Maritimo specializes in designing and constructing yachts that excel in navigating the demanding Australian coast. A notable distinction is Maritimo being the only Australian production boat builder accredited with ISO 9001 for construction.
The meticulous construction process involves continuous monitoring by an independent marine surveyor for quality control. The emphasis on structural integrity is evident in practices such as hand-laid lamination, a patented bonding process for engine room liners, and the incorporation of integral fuel tanks. Maritimo's commitment to quality and innovation is a hallmark of its yacht-building legacy.
