heating, which not only serves our
Australian range of climates but makes
the M59 exceptionally appealing to
those on the east coast of America
where the recreational vessels venture
from the snow-frozen waters of
Massachusetts and Maine right down
to the glowing warmth of Florida and
the Bahamas.

The M59 is a three-cabin, two-
bathroom vessel with flexible
accommodation provided by the
beautiful master stateroom amidships,
accompanied by an island-style berth
in the bow and a very functional
visitors’/crew/kids’ quarters to the
starboard with full head height
plus convertible full double/twin
single beds. There’s even more
accommodation in the flybridge with a
convertible divan-style lounge that also
easily folds to another double. I reckon
it would be a terrific place to wake up
with a magnificent vista all around.
“The versatility and clever use of space
is highlighted with the addition of an
optional fold-out bed on the flybridge
which creates a separate private cabin
with stunning views day and night,”
Haines said.
The master stateroom is a sheer
delight. The queen island bed runs
diagonally similar to the M62, creating
a very individual dimension to nautical
appointment. When I say individual,
I mean I like it. The large bathroom
is on the middle level with the other
staterooms. There’s also a make-up
table that I would utilise as a mobile
office. I can see a point of differenceamong couples with the split levels but
I personally liked the separation. The
master is well serviced with plenty of
functional storage and entertainment
units, large TV, entertainment systems,
flooding natural light and appropriate
mood lighting, floor-to-ceiling mirror
and its own lounge retreat.
Maritimo has provided the premium
levels of internal trim and facility to all
of the staterooms. The bathrooms both
feature good-sized showers, appealing
vanities and plenty of room around the
toilet systems for us big blokes. There’s
even a washer/dryer combo in the
kids’ room for extended voyages. The
white fibreglass mouldings, stainless
fittings, teak floor and trim combine
beautifully with the white vanity and
benches. Overall the galley, saloon and
accommodation are uncompromising,32 trade aboat.com.au
