Design & Aesthetics
Maximus boasts a striking 59 meter or approximately 200ft design, with a powerful all black ketch rig, square top sails and exterior lines crafted to evoke a sense of power, elegance, and fluidity on the water. A powered crow’s nest elevator provides spectacular views from high up the main mast. Maximus features a sleek profile and classic lines that prioritize both timeless aesthetic beauty and optimal sailing performance.
Performance & Technology
As expected from Vitters, Maximus is not just about looks. Built for high-performance sailing, the yacht is equipped with advanced technology that optimizes her speed and manoeuvrability. The use of hydraulic systems and computerized sail controls ensures smooth handling even in challenging conditions. Performance sailing features include a lifting keel with a maximum draught of eight metres, and twin rudders. Maximus’ lifting keel allows for greater access to shallow waters when cruising, which adds to the yacht’s versatility, making it capable of both deep-ocean racing adventures and coastal sailing. Maximus strikes a balance between luxury accommodation and raw sailing performance that few yachts can achieve.
Interior & Luxury
While Maximus excels in performance, it does not compromise on luxury. The interior, with design and furnishings by Lady Henrietta Spencer-Churchill, building on a legacy of inspirational interior concepts by David Easton, offers a timelessly elegant classic aesthetic with the warmth and elegance of a high-end yacht. Natural light floods the spaces, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere.
The master suite exemplifies the luxury onboard Maximus. It is fitted with large, panoramic windows and features a king-size bed, dual individual en-suite master bathrooms with marble surfaces, rose quartz and lapis lazuli detailing and a luxurious steam shower.
A secondary cockpit with direct access from master suite to the deck provides comfort and privacy. Additional guest cabins are equally well-appointed, with every detail considered to enhance the comfort of those on board.
Sustainability & Innovation
Maximus also reflects an increasing focus on sustainability within the yachting industry. While it harnesses advanced technology for performance, it also incorporates eco-friendly practices, such as quiet and energy-efficient peak shaving battery systems and reduced emissions, wherever possible. The yacht’s power systems are designed with low environmental impact in mind, without sacrificing the high levels of performance that Vitters yachts are known for.
Vitters Shipyard Legacy
Vitters Shipyard has a long-standing reputation for building some of the finest custom sailing yachts in the world, and Maximus is no exception. Since its inception, Vitters has focused on combining innovative engineering with timeless design, consistently pushing the boundaries of what is possible in yacht construction. Maximus is yet another milestone in the shipyard’s legacy of creating sailing yachts that are as technologically advanced as they are beautiful.
