Maritimo M600 Offshore Cruiser: Long-Range Luxury Reimagined

Blending timeless craftsmanship with rugged long-range capability, the Maritimo M600 Offshore Cruiser is built for serious adventurers who demand both elegance and endurance. With a shaft drive system, three staterooms, and a signature adventure deck, the M600 is redefining what it means to cruise offshore in comfort. Whether you’re crossing the Coral Sea or exploring the Inside Passage, this Australian-built yacht is made to handle it all—without compromising on luxury.

Designed for the Open Ocean

At 60 feet (18.48 meters) in length, the Maritimo M600 is part of the brand’s Offshore Series, which prioritizes long-distance cruising in a variety of sea conditions. Its robust build starts with a hand-laid fiberglass hull, designed with a sharp entry and low center of gravity for better performance offshore. The vessel sports a 17'11" (5.46-meter) beam, offering excellent stability while maximizing interior space.

The M600 is equipped with Maritimo’s signature straight shaft drive system, offering simplicity, reliability, and superior fuel efficiency compared to pod drives. With optional twin Volvo Penta D13 800 HP diesels (or upgraded D13 1000 HP), the yacht can cruise comfortably at 24–27 knots and reach top speeds in the low 30-knot range. The standard fuel capacity is 1,452 gallons (5,500 liters), giving it trans-oceanic range when throttled back to displacement speeds.

Exterior: The Adventure Deck

A highlight of the M600 is the expansive adventure deck—a defining feature of the Offshore Series. This open area at the stern is perfect for storing and launching water toys, tenders, fishing gear, or even dive equipment. The deck integrates cleverly with a large lazarette and offers easy water access, making it ideal for any activity from fishing in the Gulf Stream to paddleboarding in the Bahamas.

For those who like to entertain, there’s ample room for lounge seating, a barbecue setup, and optional sunshades. It’s versatile enough to convert into a social space, yet functional enough to double as a mini marina.

Enclosed Flybridge Comfort

Above, the M600 features a fully enclosed flybridge with internal staircase—ideal for offshore conditions and year-round use. The climate-controlled helm area includes twin helm chairs, premium electronics, joystick control, and a panoramic view of the water.

Behind the helm, a spacious skylounge doubles as a second salon with an L-shaped lounge, entertainment center, and wet bar. A sliding glass door opens to a rear upper deck, giving you yet another vantage point to take in the open sea or enjoy sundowners.

Interior Layout: Three Staterooms, Endless Comfort

Step inside the salon and you’re greeted by warm timber finishes, panoramic windows, and a layout optimized for long journeys. The M600 features Maritimo’s signature galley-aft design, which places the full-service galley near the aft deck doors for easy serving to both indoor and outdoor spaces. Think full-size fridge, four-burner stove, convection oven, and deep storage—a true chef’s kitchen afloat.

Forward and down the companionway are three staterooms and two full heads:

• Master Suite: Located midship and full beam, it features a walkaround queen bed, hanging closets, vanity, and a private ensuite.
• VIP Cabin: Forward stateroom with an island berth and generous storage.
• Twin Bunk Cabin: Starboard side, perfect for kids or crew.

High ceilings, sound insulation, and high-end fittings ensure that living aboard is not only practical but luxurious.

Hull and Engineering

Maritimo places a heavy emphasis on engineering, and the M600 is no exception. The engine room is accessed via a hatch in the adventure deck and is laid out for easy maintenance. Standard bow and stern thrusters make maneuvering manageable, even in tight marinas.

The straight shaft drive configuration—uncommon in newer production cruisers—means less maintenance over time, fewer mechanical failure points, and a more direct propulsion experience. The boat also comes standard with twin Onan generators and an optional Seakeeper gyro stabilization system for enhanced comfort underway and at anchor.

Pricing and Options

As of mid-2025, the base price for the Maritimo M600 starts at USD $2.8 million (approx. CAD $3.8 million), with well-equipped models ranging from USD $3.2 million to $3.6 million depending on powertrain and customization choices.

Optional upgrades include:

• Seakeeper 9 or 16 stabilizer
• Teak decking
• Hydraulic swim platform
• Watermaker system
• Flybridge helm sunroof
• Custom interior timber and upholstery packages

Who Is the Maritimo M600 For?

The M600 is perfect for experienced cruisers who want long-range capability without the sacrifices typically required by bluewater boats. It’s a top choice for:

• Cruising couples planning extended voyages
• Families with an adventurous spirit
• Liveaboard owners
• Sportfishing and dive enthusiasts

It competes directly with yachts like the Riviera 645 SUV, Grand Banks 60, and Fleming 58, but the M600 distinguishes itself with its enclosed flybridge, adventure deck, and fuel-efficient shaft-drive setup.
