Maritimo M48 Motor Yacht

Nearly two decades after the Maritimo M48 was first launched, it's easy to understand why this model became one of Maritimo's most successful motor yachts.
Designed and built in Australia for genuine coastal cruising, the M48 combined proven shaft-drive diesel power with three-cabin accommodation, an internal staircase and fully enclosed flybridge, a formula that remains highly sort after today.

SPECIAL STAGE is a well-presented 2007 example that has been with her current owners for approximately sixteen years, supported by an extensive maintenance history and detailed owner records.

Power comes from twin Cummins QSM11 670HP diesels, showing approximately 1,550 hours, coupled to conventional shaft drive and five-blade propellers. Bow and stern thrusters are complemented by a recently fitted Yacht Controller, making manoeuvring and short-handed operation considerably easier.

The substantial teak cockpit flows directly into the saloon and galley, where the gloss timber cabinetry has presented particularly well for her age. An internal staircase leads to the fully enclosed and air-conditioned flybridge, providing a genuine second living area with excellent visibility, substantial seating and access to the aft balcony.

Below deck are three cabins and two bathrooms, while approximately 3,500 litres of fuel, 800 litres of fresh water, a 17.5kW Onan generator, watermaker and foredeck tender arrangement provide genuine extended-cruising capability.

For buyers looking for an Australian-built cruising motor yacht with proven Cummins power, conventional shaft drive and one of Maritimo's most successful layouts, SPECIAL STAGE deserves inspection. Lying in Port Douglas, Queensland and available exclusively through GLI Yachts.
