New Model: Maritimo S50

Maritimo expands its next-generation model line-up with the launch of the new S50 Sedan Motor Yacht at the Sanctuary Cove Boat Show in May 2026. The ever-increasing popularity in Maritimo’s single level luxury motor yachts has led to the creation of the most ’S’ boat ever. The product design team, headed up by Maritimo’s Founder, Bill Barry-Cotter have given the production team not just a stylish vessel to create, but one that beautifully blends contemporary European-inspired styling with extended, blue water cruising in mind, and then wraps it all up cohesively into the brand’s hallmark offshore capability and practical design philosophy. This new Maritimo model showcases a bold yet refined exterior, characterised by distinctive striping, sculpted curves, and a reimagined coach house profile that signals a step forward in both aesthetics and functional design. The main saloon has been reimagined compared to the M50 enclosed flybridge model. The aft galley arrangement is now positioned on the port side, connecting directly with the S50’s larger upper cockpit. This area features seating moulded into the new and distinctive boot, which also houses the BBQ, cooler and sink, while providing access to the lazarette. The distinctive roofline, with its large, fixed overhang, provides the ultimate in all-weather protection while also accentuating the sleek profile, made even more striking by its black highlights and striping. On the accommodation level, the two-stateroom layout is exactly the same as the M50 Flybridge launched last year, with large, walk around beds and expansive bathrooms are key features. The day head at the bottom of the atrium stairs serves the requirements of both overnight guests and day guests. The VIP stateroom up forward can be configured in either a twin or double layout. Including the convertible settee, positioned on the port side of the main saloon, this adds two more berths to take the total to six. The S50’s main deck is the centrepiece of its innovation, designed to maximise spatial perception and usability, the saloon features increased internal headroom that contrasts with the yacht’s sleek exterior profile. Large panoramic side windows, combined with opening sections, flood the interior with natural light while enhancing cross-ventilation and connection to the surrounding seascape. A central glass skylight strip with dual opening hatches further elevates the sense of openness, creating a bright, airy environment that blurs the boundaries between inside and out. This architectural approach reinforces Maritimo’s commitment to practical luxury, where comfort and usability take precedence over purely stylistic consideration. The aft galley on the port side, immediately accessible upon entering from the cockpit, reinforcing the yacht’s suitability for both everyday use and entertaining and features full-height domestic refrigeration, a cooktop and oven, and intelligently integrated storage solutions, all positioned to benefit from abundant natural light through the tapering side windows. A defining feature of the S50 is its enhanced cockpit and outdoor entertaining areas that combine magnificently with those inside to provide the epitome of both a functional and inviting space. A newly designed ‘boot’ structure integrates cockpit seating, which extends the overall cockpit length by approximately 300 millimetres. This innovation not only improves usability, but also contributes to the yacht’s cohesive design language, with styling cues drawn directly from the roof structure above. The boot has an electrically actuated lifting mechanism to reveal the lazarette that houses key onboard systems, including substantial freshwater and waste capacities, steering components, and then dedicated storage for fishing equipment and other gear. This thoughtful allocation of space ensures that functionality is never compromised by form. The boot also houses a built-in barbecue and sink, creating a true alfresco dining environment that flows naturally from the saloon. This continuity of space, from swim platform to cockpit and then onto the interior, underscores the S50’s role as a versatile platform for both relaxation and social engagement. Further enhancing the outdoor experience is a sophisticated tilting and lowering swim platform, which, when raised, integrates seamlessly with the transom design. This feature provides both practical functionality for water access and a clean, uncluttered aesthetic when underway.  The Maritimo S50 is powered by twin Volvo 800hp with direct line shaft propulsion for top speeds up to thirty knots.

Projects: Greenline 50 Fly, Greenline 50 Coupe

Greenline Yachts has unveiled project designs for the 50 model set to be available in both Fly, and Coupe version as rendered below.  The 50 will replace the existing Greenline 48, which has been one of the yard’s top-sellers for more than a decade. While the new Greenline 50 serves a similar segment of the market, it will be bigger, sleeker and include a host of new features. The first hull in the new Greenline 50 Fly is already nearing the end of its build process, with launch at Portoroz, Slovenia scheduled for late summer. Every new yacht draws lessons from its predecessors, so the Greenline 50 is a clear evolution of the brand’s DNA and celebrated design language. Its tall, safe bulwarks, the dynamic swept-back superstructure, bright spaces and flexible hybrid drives are all pure Greenline. Like its predecessor the new Greenline 50 offers three versatile cabins that can be arranged as twins or doubles, and up to three bathrooms.  The main deck offers comfortable one-level living, with no steps between the cockpit and the saloon, which is bathed in natural light thanks to generous dimensions and all-round glazing. But the Greenline 50 also features a wealth of small details which carry the brand forward. Owners will enjoy more choice over interior materials and finishes than ever before, plus a comprehensive options list that ranges from electronics to appliances.  Greenline’s versatile aft deck area has been turbocharged, with more spacious options than in previous models. Choose between a vast storage space for the tender and toys, or an additional cabin for a crew member. Opting for storage, the whole aft deck seating area swings open to give access from the bathing platform. As crew accommodation, on the other hand, the port side access through the transom is filled to create standing headroom below.  The first Greenline 50 is built in the Fly model, with a generous flybridge. Together with the battery bank and the solar panels, the yacht’s hotel operations can run on silent electric power for extended periods, depending on conditions.  The system can be seamlessly combined with Greenline’s 6G hybrid drive or  efficient diesel engines for a serene boating experience.  As with the Greenline 45 and the Greenline 58, the new Greenline 50 is also available in a Coupe version, with the flybridge replaced by hard-top.
