Australian yacht builder Maritimo has introduced a series of updates to its cruising motoryachts called the Black Edition.
The Black Edition will be available on Maritimo’s 55, 60 and 600 models across the builder’s S, M and Offshore series, adding more ways for owners to order each yacht in keeping with the ways they want to use it.
In the cockpit, the Black Edition adds a redesigned, larger transom island that separates the main cockpit from the swim platform, with an upgraded lounge and expanded barbecue area. There’s also a lazarette access door alongside a built-in refrigerator, and a redesigned grill and sink. The forward-facing cockpit lounge, accessed through twin integrated side gates, has also been redesigned.
Several configurations become available for the upper cockpit area with the Black Edition. They include additional L-shaped seating with stowage below, a folding table and a wet bar with a refrigerator and icemaker. Doors that connect to the adjacent galley can be slider or bi-fold style, depending on the owner’s choices.
Inside, the aft galley’s Black Edition version adds counter space along with more bench space to starboard, without losing space for hot plates, the oven or stowage. There’s also now space for an overhead cupboard above the counter, and owners can add a wine fridge in the island bench or underneath the stairs to port. The Black Edition also lets owners stow drinks and glassware in the cupboard facing forward into the salon.
The Black Edition of the enclosed flybridge has a low-profile dash with redesigned multifunction and engine screen pods, and with improved ergonomics for easier access to the yacht’s controls. Helm seats are also upgraded and fully electric. The existing cabinet and wet bar in this area are also upgraded, and there’s a new lounge seat with stowage options.
Forward, the Black Edition adds a larger sun pad with adjustable backrests, dual drink holders and hand grabs on both sides. On M models, this area can also be converted for tender stowage, and equipped with a crane davit and removeable chocks.
When will boaters be able to see Maritimo’s new Black Edition models? Look for the first versions to be on display this May at the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show in Queensland, Australia. In the United States, the first Black Edition models from Maritimo are expected to be presented at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show in Florida this coming October.
