Maritimo’s new M50 targets owner-operators who prioritize confident offshore performance and hands-on control without giving up comfort or range. Purpose-built for efficient cruising and real-world passagemaking, the 50-footer distills the builder’s offshore racing heritage and long-range experience into a platform sized for independent operation across a wide range of conditions.
“The M50 is an incredibly important model for Maritimo,” said Keith Teynor, Managing Director of the Americas for Maritimo. “Fifty feet is a true sweet spot for owner-operators, and the M50 has been designed to resonate with buyers across the entire U.S.—from the Pacific Northwest and the Great Lakes to the East Coast and beyond. It delivers the offshore capability, comfort, and versatility needed for a wide range of cruising styles and conditions.”
Rather than a scaled-down version of an existing yacht, the M50 was developed as a ground-up design informed by Maritimo’s offshore experience and recent advances in research and development. The result is a yacht that balances long-range capability with generous interior volume and a layout tailored for extended cruising.
Belowdecks, the M50 features a full-beam master stateroom that rivals accommodations typically found on larger yachts. Large hullside windows with opening ports bring in natural light and ventilation, while a single-level sole, ample hanging storage, and a well-proportioned ensuite create a comfortable private retreat. Forward, the VIP stateroom offers a convertible double berth and generous storage, with an adjacent head that also serves as the day head.
On the main deck, the cockpit, galley, and salon are arranged to function as a unified entertaining space. The galley is positioned to serve both indoor and outdoor areas, with substantial counter space, European appliances and practical storage. A fold-down swim platform expands usable space at anchor while reducing overall length when docked.
The enclosed flybridge remains central to the M50’s identity. Offering 360-degree visibility, full climate control and overhead hatches for light and airflow, the space is designed for all-weather operation. Twin helm seats, an ergonomically arranged console and a lounge area for guests underscore Maritimo’s emphasis on passagemaking comfort and control.
Power comes from twin Volvo Penta D13-800 diesels driving straight shafts. The M50 cruises at approximately 24 knots and reaches a top speed of around 30 knots. Fuel capacity is 980 gallons, supporting the long-range efficiency and offshore confidence that have become hallmarks of the brand.
The Maritimo M50 will be displayed throughout the Palm Beach International Boat Show, held March 25–29, 2026, where it will make its official North American debut.
