New Model: Maritimo A55 Aegean Flybridge

Maritimo launches its second boat in the Aegean Flybridge range, the A55 sharing a lot in common with its 60ft bigger sibling as well as hull lines with the Sports Cabriolets range. The Aegean A55 welcomes you on the main deck spacious cockpit with a sliding door leading to the saloon via the galley. The galley features all modern conveniences of home including a dishwasher, fridge freezer, cook top with oven and plenty of storage space for food, drinks and utensils. The main saloon features a lounge dining area for six on the port side and a further L-shaped lounge to starboard just behind the main helm station. Accommodation continues the similarities with the A60! The owners cabin with its private en-suite head is a full beam stateroom with trademark view windows in the hull providing natural light and spectacular views. Forward is the VIP double cabin with en suite access to the second head which also is fully equipped. To port and starboard are two bunk cabins with the starboard cabin also housing a washer/dryer. Back on the aft deck we find the external staircase giving access to the flybridge which features a central helm station, a big L-Shaped lounge to port, and another lounge to starboard. Maritimo also points out to the A55 Aegean Flybridge great performance, but also how economical it is to run with not so big twin Caterpillar C12 715hp diesels, giving a economical 25 knots cruise. While all this might be true it would have been nice from Maritimo to give some consumption and range figures to base this declaration. Worth to note is also that like the non flybridge C55 Sports Cabriolet which the A55 is based on, here we also find the tender garage, making it the smallest flybridge to offer this on the market today.
