PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS
A cruising speed of around 22 knots gave us an optimum 80 percent engine load and fuel burn of 74 gph, allowing a 785-nautical-mile range. Without needing trim tabs, we accelerated to a maximum speed of 28 knots. Noise was minimal at 68 decibels, which is 3 decibels above the level of normal conversation.
MARITIMO'S SEDAN LINE HAS a new flagship: the S75, which joins the S60, S55 and $51 in the Australian builder's overall lineup of Sedan, Flybridge and Offshore Yachts. Rest assured, bigger does not mean bulky. The Maritimo S75 has a striking, sleek profile with nearly 75 feet of waterline, including the 194-square-foot space that Maritimo calls the Adventure Deck. Some reverse sheer along the topsides enhances the look, while the tall hull includes elongated, dark windows that match the targa bar, housing radar and satellite domes. All of these design elements help the $75 make a sporty statement, even at rest. Of course, style without substance is not much good offshore, so there's a solid glass hull underwater and an elongated keel, for stiffness and linear stability. The S75's signature feature is the Adventure Deck, which has a teak swim platform whose hydraulic after section can float a 2,204-pound tender.
