    Hi folks

    I have a dock mate asking about a Maritimo in the 56' range. I know nothing of this boats. Any experience here?

    Thanks in advance

    We bought a new 2019 M64 in June and can’t say enough good about the boat and the Maritimo support team.

    If you haven’t been aboard a Maritimo, it’s worth a look. Best in class for engineering and design in my opinion. Our M64 is seaworthy and fuel efficient - carries 1500 gallons of fuel for a range that means we run out of daylight before we run out of fuel.

    We love the enclosed bridge, but the X series express boats are top of the game too.

    They are the same owners/team that started and sold Riviera, another Aussie boat builder.

    Do you have stabilizers on the 64 vessel, or do you find a need for them...

    We put in a Seakeeper 16 and are very happy with it. (Our second boat with SeaKeeper.) Need it? No. Love it and use it all the time? Yes. The vessel is inherently stable - especially underway, but we find it makes guests much more comfortable at anchor, and underway as well.

    Did you have an l650 that you sold and if so how does the Maritimo compare? I have a Searay 48 sundancer and now that Searay dropped the larger yachts I myself was looking a the x series as my next boat.

    I did have am L650FLY. The comparison is complicated, but several of us have gone, or are going from SR to Maritimo already.

    The Maritimo is like a breath of fresh air. Out of the box a well engineered, flawlessly executed build. That’s not to say there were no “new boat” issues, but the Maritimo team is on top of it in ways Sea Ray couldn’t be. She’s got a smoother, dryer ride than the L650FLY, 20% more fuel efficient. The stand up engine room is best in class, layout in general is very conducive to both life at sea and dockside entertaining. Systems are straight forward and robust. In short, I have zero complaints after 4 months of ownership.

    I have been aboard the X50 and x60. Both are standouts, and worth serious consideration.

    So happy the Maritimo has worked out well for you. I remember when you were a fan of the L650FLY, but also objective regarding it and it's our private discussions with you that led us to the decision not to purchase one. Hopefully your "new boat" issues were something less than 10% of what you encountered on the Sea Ray.

    At that time we purchased a Sunseeker instead.

    I work for an owner that currently has a 62' Hampton, his 18th yacht. His previous yacht was a 48' Maritimo and he really liked the boat and quality of the boat. The x60 with the beach club has him drooling and he's seriously considering ordering a new one.

    We have been on a couple of Maritimo's and the side decks stood out s a good idea. They are safe walk around and have wondered why more SF's convertibles have not used this design. They would work well for fishing, if you had multiple fish on you could walk one around the bow. Just a lot of advantages over a typical FS's cockpit setup with narrow side decks and no rail. They did appear to be a quality boat.

    Looking for anyone with an experience with a Maritimo M series with the hydraulic swim platform. Any issues? How does it affect the performance? Did you use it to carry a tender?

    We bought our M64 in June. We have the hydraulic platform which works as advertised. They use proprietary hardware and the system seems much more robust than those I’ve had in the past.

    We just installed a crane and plan on buying a tender to mount on the bow. The swim platform may eventually get a jet ski, but for the time being we use it to launch kayaks and other toys.
