New Model: Maritimo C55 Sports Cabriolet

Maritimo’s C55 Sports Cabriolet is the new addition to this Sport Yacht range introduced in 2008. As is now well known, Maritimo took a dramatic course change last year when it introduced the fabulous C60 Sports Cabriolet. Unveiled for the first time last May at the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show and again a star attraction at the Sydney International Boat Show a few weeks later, the C60 as it’s known, has received ‘rave reviews’ in Australian and international boating media. Now, as the company expands its range to meet market demands, the C55, an equally stylish craft that is simply a more compact example of the C60 is released. Despite being more than a metre shorter and two tonnes lighter, the C55 offers the same beam and accommodations and with fuel efficient Cummins QSM 11 diesels delivering 670hp each, will give the C60 a run for its money too. The C55 will cruise effortlessly along at a cruise speed of 25 knots and is capable of hitting close to 30 knots at wide open throttle. Her main saloon, obviously smaller than that of the C60, remains luxurious and efficiently planned, with a well equipped galley and easy access aft and to the accommodations forward. The master suite is again cantered amidships with a VIP cabin forward and supporting cabins port and starboard featuring bunk berths. It takes also a really keen eye to discern the difference between the C55 and C60, although buyers will notice the difference at the cash register.
