Australian-based yacht builder Maritimo has unveiled the first model in its new Offshore Series.
The 18.54m (60.8ft) M600 Offshore has been designed as a state-of-the-art fishing platform whilst also carrying all the hallmarks of a long-range, high volume, luxury motor yacht. It is available both as a flybridge or sedan model.
Maritimo’s lead designer, Tom Barry-Cotter, outlined some of the features that the shipyard hope will make the M600 stand out from the crowd:
“Features such as the enclosed climate-controlled flybridge skylounge, internal flybridge stairs, aft galley, walk around side decks and highly practical and well thought out deck spaces have set the standard internationally for modern motor yacht design,”
“We are beyond excited with the new Maritimo Offshore Series and where this series will lead our brand.”
Its new offshore cockpit is the best example of the flexible nature of the M600, with two distinct cockpit areas suiting the needs of those who are serious fishermen and those who want to relax and socialize with friends and family.
The upper lounging and entertaining cockpit offers 9.2 square-meters (99 sq. ft) of open deck and lounging space and is sheltered from the elements. The offshore cockpit sports 10.2 square-meters (109.8 sq. ft) of open deck space, including a 2.4m (7.9ft) length of deck that provides ample space for a sport fishing chair.
The aft galley connects the upper cockpit deck with a large saloon, which has the option of two-stage vista sliding windows to bring light and air into the yacht and provide a natural connection between the interiors and the exteriors.
The luxuriously appointed skylounge features bi-fold doors that open on to a large deck space that again can serve a dual purpose as an alfresco lounging area or a rear fishing helm station.
Below decks are three spacious staterooms and two ensuites, with a full-beam king master stateroom, queen offset forward stateroom and twin single starboard guest’s staterooms.
Performance-wise the M600 is powered by standard twin inline six-cylinder Volvo Penta D13 800MHP and has a 4,550 liter fuel capacity.
The M600 Offshore motor yacht is due to have its global premiere later this year.
Maritimo has built a reputation for not being afraid to challenge the norm in its range of production yachts. It has lead the way with enclosed flybridge decks and unique aft cabin layouts with direct access to the bathing platform. To explore its full range browse all Maritimo yachts for sale.
