Projects: Maritimo A50 Aegean Enclosed, Maritimo A50 Aegean

After various customers consensus the Aussie builder Maritimo Aegean range continues to be upgraded with the introduction of the A50 Aegean, and the A50 Aegean Enclosed. The first presentation goes to the luxurious enclosed flybridge of the A50 Aegean Enclosed, which offers uninhibited views of the seascape, but also another entertainment area where one can relax both indoors and out, thanks to the sliding glass doors in the aft balcony. With the helm station up top, there’s more room to move on the main deck, adding entertainment space to the A50 Aegean Enclosed. As well as being long on features, the A50 Aegean Enclosed has genuine long range cruising capabilities, and is designed with an advanced variable deadrise hull, engines and fuel tanks over the centre of buoyancy, and a shaft angle of just 9 degrees, thus resulting in an effortless poise, balance and fuel efficiency. Down below is a three double cabins layout, with a an owners cabin to fore, VIP cabin to port, and a single or double bunk cabin to starboard. Performance is an estimated cruise speed of 24 knots with twin Cats C12 715hp engines. The standard Maritimo A50 Aegean follows the theme of the A50 Aegean Enclosed but has dual helm stations. Performance estimates also calls for an extra 1 knots of economic cruise of 25 knots, with the same C12 715hp twin Cats engines. The flybridge offers a central helm station, l-shaped settee to port, and a additional longitudinal settee to starboard. Inside is also the same layout with the removal of an internal staircase being replaced by the helm station, and flybridge staircase located aft in replacement to inside. Worth to note that all Aegean series have so far been derived from the same hull, with all offering an identical beam of 5.2 metres, reason for which speeds are similar.
