MARITIMO S55 GLOBAL LAUNCH

MARITIMO UNVEILED its second new model, the S55 Sedan Motor Yacht, at the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show in June.

This ‘Ultimate Adventurer’ is designed for boaties seeking space, comfort and luxury with an emphasis on long-range offshore cruising and adventuring.

Since plans were revealed in 2020, more S55 Sedan orders were placed prior to its official launch last month than for any of Maritimo’s S-series predecessors.

The S55’s variable deadrise hull has a deep keel, sharp bow entry and flattened progression aft, focused on offshore cruising performance, comfort and stability. Hull and engineering designs were developed specifically for shaft technology.

Powered by twin Volvo Penta D11670MHP diesels, upgrades up to 1000MHP from Volvo, Scania or CAT are optional. A 4,550-litre fuel capacity (with the optional Volvo D13 800MHP engines) delivers a range of 488 nautical miles at 20 knots, leaving a 10% fuel reserve.

There is a 2.8m tender garage with 250kg davit and the adventure deck lower cockpit can also be integrated with an optional 1.4m extended platform.

A spacious upper cockpit alfresco deck space is sheltered by the extended hardtop headliner. The aft galley connects seamlessly with the upper cockpit deck and enormous saloon lounging area.

Below deck, the S55 offers three spacious staterooms and two ensuites, with full beam king master stateroom, offset queen stateroom forward and twin single guest stateroom to starboard. www.maritimo.com.au
