Australian yacht builder Maritimo launched its M50 Flybridge Motor Yacht at the 2025 Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show.
The 50-foot enclosed flybridge yacht integrates Maritimo’s hallmark features—ocean-going capability, safety and long-range cruising capabilities—while introducing refinements in layout, stowage and functionality. A key exterior innovation is the articulating rear swim platform, which folds to reduce the M50’s dockside length and opens to create a waterside entertainment zone.
Inside, panoramic windows, skylights and hatches illuminate the interior with natural light. The M50 has a two-stateroom layout with a full-beam master stateroom, which the builder says is larger than those typically found on 55- and 60-foot yachts. Additional accommodations include a convertible lounge in the flybridge, increasing guest capacity to eight.
The enclosed flybridge features climate control, twin helm chairs, a wraparound lounge and space for several navigation displays. Powered by twin Volvo Penta D13-800 engines, the Maritimo M50 cruises at 24 knots and reaches top speeds of 30 knots, according to the builder’s sea trials. It’s designed for long-distance coastal or offshore cruising, and also marks the beginning of a refreshed model cycle, with the S50 Sedan variant expected in 2026.
