Maritimo M59

The new M59’s (59′ LOA, 17′ 11″ beam) powerful dynamic profile belies its calm, luxurious interior. A wider beam gives maximum volume within. There’s plenty of room for flexible accommodations, which include a full-beam master with study and ensuite bath, a double at the bow and a third cabin with two singles that convert into a double. Two more guests can be accommodated with a fold-out bed in the enclosed flybridge. All of the M59 ‘s characteristic traits are found on the Maritimo M59: wide walkaround decks, an interior staircase to the enclosed flybridge and a sunroof. A hydraulicswim platform is an option.

Grand Banks 60

Representing Grand Banks’ return to its roots of building long-distance cruisers, the new Grand Banks 60 (66′ 10″ LOA, 19′ 2″ beam) has a range well over 2,000 nautical miles at 10 knots or can be pushed to more than 30 with the 900-hp Volvo Penta D13 engines. Coupling these with the bow and stern thrusters in a joystick-controlled system allows for a really cool feature: Express Positioning, which holds the 60 in place by GPS.

A well-protected flybridge and aft deck, wide side decks and high bulwarks show the boat to be a true ocean-going vessel. A single level encompasses the salon, aft galley, and lower helm. Below are three staterooms with the master in the most comfortable position amidships.

Nordhavn 59 Coastal Pilot

Nordhavn 59 Coastal Pilot

Nordhavn acknowledges that not everyone wants to fish or dive, so its new version of the Nordhavn 59 Coastal Pilot is for those who don’t need a cockpit. Extending the aft and main deck all the way back, the Coastal Pilot has a roomier salon/galley and engine room, which has full standing headroom aft. Water babies will still get their fix of the sea thanks to an integral swim step.

The Nordhavn 59 Coastal Pilot is capable of both fast cruising speeds and extended passagemaking. Powered by twin Cummins QSM 11 715-hp diesel engines, the 59 CP runs up to 20 knots and can cruise more than 1,000 miles at reduced speeds. She offers a modern profile with a contemporary, open interior that emphasizes stainless and horizontal grain accents and radiates light throughout.

Main deck accommodations provide for a large galley, dinette and a lower helm station with double helm seat. This arrangement is very appealing for a coastal cruising couple as it eliminates the isolation and separation of a raised wheelhouse.
