Australian luxury motor yacht manufacturer, Maritimo, will have the M600 Offshore Flybridge Motor Yacht make its North American Debut at the 2025 Palm Beach International Boat Show this week.
Since its inception 22 years ago Maritimo has been building long-range cruising motor yachts with enclosed flybridges. The M600 continues this trend, offering long-range capabilities, performance and reliability, according to the company.
The M600 features straight shafts coupled to five-blade Nibral Propellers. Standard power is provided by twin Volvo Penta D13 800-hp engines with the option for Volvo Penta D13 1,000-hp engines. The shallow 8-degree shaft angle reduces overall draft to 4 feet, 10 inches to open up more anchorage possibilities.
The M600’s 1,200-gallon fuel capacity includes two wing tanks, one along each hull side, to complement a 607-gallon main tank located along the M600’s keel line. The triple-tank fuel system can be fueled through a single filler from either side of the vessel.
The flybridge balcony offers more than 118 square feet of protected outdoor deck space. The flybridge hardtop design incorporates a rear awning with the option for roll-up/down partitions to transform the outdoor area into a hybrid indoor/outdoor area in seconds. With the flybridge bifold doors stacked open, the skylounge space creates a total combined area of over 247 square feet.
The main deck is also capable of transforming into a protected indoor/outdoor zone via concealed clears or a breezeway hidden away within the overhead headliner. The area offers up to three separate lounges including a standard U-shaped dining lounge area aft to seat six guests, and is central to the galley, side decks, and adventure deck.
Deep walkthrough side decks lead to the forward deck, which has generous-height bulwarks and a bowrail to the forward anchor well.
The rear entertainment module is set on the adventure deck outside the clear enclosure. It includes a complete alfresco galley, with sink, BBQ grill, and top-loading refrigeration.
The three-stateroom, two-head layout is designed to maximize every inch of the 17-foot, 3-inch beam. Forward there is an offset queen stateroom with adjoining ensuite. A generous twin single stateroom is to starboard, with the option for the inner bed to slide outboard to create a double bed for couples.
A full beam king master stateroom is located midships, where panoramic hull windows provide vistas to each side.
“We’re really excited to showcase the M600 to our North American customers,” says Keith Teynor, Maritimo’s Managing Partner for the Americas. “It really showcases what makes every Maritimo so special from the accommodations, fit and finish, volume, and seakeeping ability.”
