New Model: Maritimo A60 Aegean Flybridge

Australia’s Maritimo, renowned manufacturer of long-range luxury motor yachts, has just launched the first of its Aegean range, the Aegean 60. Essentially, the A60 as it is referred to is the 60 Sports Cabriolet with a beautifully-styled open flying bridge added to its superstructure. Access to the flybridge is via an internal staircase on the starboard side just aft of the lower of the two helm stations. If you love outdoor entertaining, there is certainly plenty of room for that aboard the A60 with the open flybridge providing a comfortable area to enjoy views and sunshine. Down below, the expansive cockpit has more than enough room for al fresco dining, and boating gourmets will love the aft galley which provides all the luxuries of home and more. Galley is also equipped with an ample fridge freezer, plenty of storage, a cocktail cabinet and even a dishwasher for easy clean-ups. Elsewhere, the A60 boasts all the luxury, safety, comfort and performance of the C60. An impressive saloon, four staterooms, including a full-width master with superb en-suite and walk-in wardrobe, all add to the A60’s undeniable appeal. When it’s time to go ashore, the cockpit sole elevates and the transom drops at the push of a button to reveal a garage big enough to store a 3.5 metre tender, which conveniently slides in and out. A not much used solution this one on flybridge boats. Moving into the engine room we find that it’s the same impressive setup as that aboard the C60, full-height headroom, big-boat systems, and dual C12 Caterpillar diesels each delivering 715hp which provide a 30 knots top speed and 25 knot cruising performance.
