Maritimo records $100m in sales
Australian motor yacht manufacturer Maritimo’s flagship flybridge motoryacht models the M64 and M70 have reached an impressive milestone with over $100m (Australian) of sales recorded since the world premiere of the M70 in 2015 and the M64 in 2016.
The milestone was reached in the summer with a wave of deliveries to Australia and the U.S.
“Our owners are boaters who want to use their boats for long range cruising and exploring with extended stays onboard with family and friends,” says Tom Barry-Cotter, Maritimo’s brand director.
“These vessels provide the ultimate amount of volume and space on three climate-controlled levels, and incredible seakeeping ability, which translates into unrivalled long-range comfort.
“Precise hydrodynamics and weight distribution married with the advanced evolution of Maritimo’s straight shaft drive technology enable the Maritimo M70 and M64 to cruise with between 20 percent to 30 perfect better fuel efficiency than other brands above 20 knots cruise,” he says.

The latest 2020 edition M70 and M64 flybridge motoryachts come with a range of design refinements including integrated hull side panoramic windows with ports and an optional targa design.
The hulls are designed with straight shaft drive propulsion.
“Using straight shaft drive technology, we have been able to transfer learnings from every hull update and advance our efficiency and performance with every new hull design,” says Barry-Cotter.
“One of the byproducts of the capabilities of long range motoryachts is that they are always long distances away from port, so long range motoryachts must not be over complicated in their systems or engineering,” he says.
“Simplified systems that are dependable and serviceable are key to creating the best possible long range cruising experience.
“From straight shaft drive, to simple electrical systems, access and serviceability of all ‘componentry’ and engineering, the design ideology of simplification is adhered by from bow to stern.”
