Trade-A-Boat — January 2018

similar to that of the M51. “The back
of the boat opens up to a large storage
space which is perfect for a tender and
all the water toys you could want,”
said Maritimo international sales and
marketing manager, Greg Haines.
The rear deck itself is really very
large and the added beam plus teak
deck help the grandiose feeling. The
coaming heights are just right and they
contain a rope locker either side that
can be converted to live bait tanks or
have ice makers fitted if desired. At the
rear is a luxurious lounge with a solid
timber table on twin pedestals forming
an ideal setting for entertaining or just
simply relaxing. Pull a couple of folding
chairs from the lazarette and the party
really begins.
This Maritimo stock boat was also
fitted with a second set of engine


controls in the cockpit to both assist
docking or perhaps the skipper in the
unlikely event that we should hook up
a marlin. There was talk of ‘Jonah’ on
board but let’s just not go there!

TRIM & TERRIFIC
The bi-fold rear doors can be used as
an individual entry, or divided either
side with options to open as a full
al fresco. Inside, the stairwell to the
flybridge greets you ahead with the
electrical control panels enclosed in
the cabinetry immediately to your
left. There’s a central island bench and
L-shaped galley to the starboard. The
level of internal trim is aesthetically
magnificent and at the same time
warm and inviting. It combines hand-
crafted timber, mainly teak or walnut,
with high-gloss surfaces, ivory leather
upholstery, polished stainless steel
fittings, white upholstered head linings
and black window trims all combined
in a highly functional layout from the
galley, flybridge and saloon and right
through the luxurious staterooms and
ensuites.

The galley is fitted with premium
Miele appliances including a full-size
dishwasher, fridge/freezer, ‘Speed oven’
(incorporating grill, microwave and
oven), four-plate convection cooktop,
rangehood and a huge pantry all set
in magnificent cabinetry with bone
Corian-style benchtops. There is also
a large chest fridge/freezer unit plus
ice maker and chart table/storage in
a functional multi-use unit under the
stairwell.
Formal dining or just plain relaxing
in the lap of luxury is well catered for
in the saloon with a large U-shaped
lounge complete with its own
convertible table on the port side
plus a further L-shaped lounge to the
starboard. The fine leather upholstery
is thickly padded and exceptionally
comfortable and the entire saloon and
galley feels spacious and airy with just
the right amount of visibility through
the full window surrounds that are
all fitted with silhouette blinds. The
entire living space including the fully
enclosed flybridge is serviced with
reverse-cycle air-conditioning and
