Improve-it = Maritimo M55

Maritimo introduces a series of updates called the Black Edition to some of its Motor Yachts, with this starting on the M55 model. These enhancements are designed to add yet another level of refinement and style to the M55, born from Maritimo’s objective to constantly perfect and improve even a best-selling model, and will be recognized by the painted Black Edition mark.  The M55 Black Edition refines the cockpit with several practical and stylish improvements. A whole new re-designed larger transom island separates the main cockpit from the swim platform and now incorporates an upgraded lounge and expanded BBQ area, providing both elegance and functionality.  The new layout now includes a convenient lazarette access door alongside a built-in fridge and redesigned BBQ and sink. Access to the newly redesigned forward facing cockpit lounge is through twin integrated side gates.  The class leading upper cockpit area has even more space than before and this area can now be configured in several ways, including a fixed table along the aft long and the optional additional L-shaped seating with storage underneath with fixed table, and a convenient wet bar to the port side. The doors connecting the adjacent galley can either be slide or bi-fold to best suit the exterior seating arrangement.  The aft galley location, provides convenient access for activities outdoors in the cockpit, inside to the salon, and up the adjacent stairwell to the flybridge. The Black Edition galley has taken this successful formula and combines this to offer increased counter space and functionality while maintaining excellent storage capabilities.  The fully equipped galley offers several enhancements, including more bench space on the starboard side without losing space for the hot plates, oven, and necessary storage. Combined with the upright existing fridge/freezer location is space for a new large overhead cupboard above the counter.  There is now the option for a wine fridge to be conveniently located in the island bench or underneath the stairs on the port side of the galley. Plus, the ability to store drinks and glassware in the cupboard facing forward into the salon area.  Within the enclosed flybridge the Black Edition helm brings the enhanced styling and layout of the flagship 75 into the new models. The low-profile dash features a totally redesigned multifunction and engine screen pods, with even better ergonomics for easy access to all the necessary controls, added with upgraded fully electric helm seats.  The Black Edition also upgrades the existing cabinet to a two and three-door wet bar, and a whole new lounge seat with storage options, adding comfort, functionality and even more style to the Skylounge.  The Black Edition increases the capabilities of the forward deck, taking cues from the expansive 75 deck with a new larger optional sun pad with adjustable backrests, dual drink holders, and hand rails on both sides. Combined with an additional forward-facing bow lounge it creates the perfect place for lounging and sunbathing. This area can also be converted for tender storage, equipped with a crane davit and removeable chocks.
