  6. WALKTHROUGH

    Entering MAXIMUS from the shaded main cockpit with her elegant outdoor dining, guests are welcomed by the rich, warm tones of anigre hardwood throughout the interior. The beautifully connected upper and lower salons offer expansive yet intimate spaces, featuring two well-appointed lounges, a stylish bar, a Steinway player piano, and a cozy fireplace that together create a welcoming atmosphere. To starboard, a formal dining room is directly connected to the lower salon and can be fully separated by a folding door system when desired. Opposite, the VIP cabin includes a centerline queen bed, a stately en suite, and a massive skylight, striking in both form and function.

    Forward lies a thoughtfully designed crew area that maximizes space and functionality. Guests enjoy dedicated service facilities, including a generous walk-in refrigerator and freezer, a large galley designed to accommodate both chef and stewardess working simultaneously, and a properly equipped laundry room.

    Aft of the main salon, an inviting, oval-shaped guest corridor exemplifies Vitters' signature craftsmanship, where precise cabinetry and recessed art niches combine seamlessly. Two meticulously appointed guest cabins, port and starboard, provide comfortable accommodations, while the Owner’s stateroom aft befits the yacht’s distinguished name with refined elegance. This suite boasts two en suite bathrooms featuring a steam shower and tub, respectively. The California king bed to port is complemented by a generous seating area to starboard. A show-stopping companionway staircase leads to the private Owner’s deckhouse, which in turn opens onto a secluded exterior cockpit.

    From here, one commands a full view forward to MAXIMUS’s deck and rig — a testament to her power and engineering excellence. The sleek black spars are a striking feature, complemented by expertly arranged running rigging, winch and block placements, furling, and sail stowing systems. The uncluttered deck spaces reflect the vision of an Owner and team who possess deep experience and a discerning eye for both performance and design.

  15. COMMENTS

    Maximus is a perfect example of the excellence that is possible when a collaboration of the artistry of German Frers and the skill and expertise of Vitters are empowered by a highly experienced Owner and his project management team. She is a masterpiece, delivered new to her Owner in December of 2023, and has just completed her warranty period. She is essentially better than new, truly “ready to go,” and priced below replacement cost.

     

    Every aspect of MAXIMUS reflects an uncompromising dedication to quality. From her sleek design and exquisite exterior lines to the warm tones of anigre hardwood, she exudes both technical precision and timeless elegance. Crafted with both sailing mastery and artistic vision, MAXIMUS sets a new standard for luxury performance. The result is a vessel that performs beautifully under sail while delivering an extraordinary onboard experience—whether for private cruising, hosting, or extended bluewater passages.

     

    MAXIMUS is designed for performance and ease of handling with a Southern Spars rig, Doyle sails, and Harken deck equipment. Powered by a MAN V12 engine and twin Zenoro generators, she combines modern engineering with refined luxury. With state-of-the-art systems and a clear vision from the Owner’s team, she represents a rare opportunity to own a world-class sailing yacht of true pedigree.

     

    • KEY FEATURES:

      • Delivered December 2023, just completing her new boat warranty
      • Vitters / German Frers pedigree
      • Immaculate condition throughout
      • High performance with luxurious accommodations
      • The perfect blend of a “Bucket boat” and a world cruiser
