The Maori 64 combines the character of a pure sport boat with a blanket setting voted on day sociality and short cruise. It is designed to support high speeds with predictable behavior, limiting sprays on board and keeping the baricentro low. The planing hull is optimized for the regimes in which the surface area express maximum performance.
Plate and order of magnitude
Profile of the yard
Origin and development
The brand was born in Sardinia, within a nautical district that breathes the sea twelve months a year. The initial impression comes from a radical reading of the concept of “open boat”: essential volumes, textured surfaces, few concessions to ornamentation. Over time a real school of thought is consolidated: yachts as tools to live the coast with speed, control accuracy and great openness to the water element.
Project philosophy
The construction site favours three cardinal axes: structural lightness with controlled laminations, stylistic continuity based on pure lines, deep customization that goes down to detail of the hardware. The search for performance is never an end to itself: it serves to maintain high transfer rates, to reduce exposure times on critical sea and to offer the owner an evocative but concrete object in daily management.
Reputation and placement
Production intentionally contained, direct relationship with the client and a strong Mediterranean rooting have built an image boutique yards: you buy a “pezzo” with a clear signature, not a serial platform. In high-end charter contexts, the brand’s models are chosen for aesthetic recognizability and ease of use at anchor.
In-depth technical analysis
Naval architecture and geometries
The hull is strongly oriented to the planata: important deadrise aft for a soft response on the mosso and support skates designed to support the set without generating nervous reactions. The walls, which descend towards the floating line, are the aesthetic and functional figure: increase the feeling of contact with the sea and deviate the water away from the living area. The generous glare guarantees cross stability in place and wide platform for furnishings and flows.
Materials and processes
Scafo and superstructure are in composite with wide use of sandwiches core closed; vacuum infusion allows an accurate fiber/resin ratio, uniform thicknesses and weakness reduction. Concentrated load areas (basements, drive attacks, longherons) provide superior density reinforcements or monolithic skins. The choice of the resin matrix favours immunity to hydrolysis and mechanical sealing in dynamic mode, reducing the risk of degradation in the medium term.
Onboard systems
The command bridge is a glass bridge with multiple integrated displays: drive, navigation, automation of board and energy management dialogue on digital network. The A/C system is in zones, with inverter logic to compress the absorption peaks during the shaving. There are cameras for machine room and monitoring systems that allow remote control of essential parameters.
Propulsion and transmission
The heart of the boat is thecombination of medium-high power diesel engines and surface transmissions. The partially emersed propeller reduces the induced resistance, adjusting the trim and dive allows you to choose the optimal angle according to load and status of the sea. In slow maneuver, precision is entrusted to dedicated thrusters; on request a joystick interface is available that intelligently sums the thrusts.
Performance and autonomy
The maximum speed are around forty knots at the first step of power and grow significantly with more muscle, clean hull and favorable conditions. The typical cruise at 36–38 knots is sustainable until the sea “breaks” short; in that case it is better to descend on an intermediate step of 30–32 knots, which is often the point of best efficiency. Real autonomy depends on tank capacity, operating weight and ranges: in conscious use, a 250–300-mile traverse can be planned with a prudential buffer.
Security and redundancy
The vital systems are compartmentalized: fractional feel, fixed fire in the machine room, redundant power supply for essential services and separate circuits for dock, generator and inverter/load. The dashboard has key indicators always in sight (temperature, pressure, levels) and alarms with clear hierarchy priority.
Design, architecture and layout
Stylistic language
64 interprets theopen mediterranean with pure surfaces, net edges and a sharp profile. The hard top is slender and backward: it protects where it serves, but it lets light and air pass. The section of the windscreen, tilted and proportioned, contributes to the “viser” effect without penalizing the visibility in the slope changes.
Cover ergonomics
The blanket is organized in three acts: bow dedicated to relaxation with large sunbeds; boat center with dinettes under the rigid roof and full bar block; stern like beach area with direct access to the water and the garage. The passers-by are dimensioned to move safely even by boat in movement, the handles naturally fall where they serve, the sitting heights allow conversations without shouting.
Interior and livability
The undercover environments favour brightness and simplicity: matt surfaces that do not affect, neutral tones and open pore wood. The typical configurations range from the cockpit with lounge convertible to two cabin solutions with two bathrooms and local crew. The volumes are carefully exploited, with deep gavones and air-conditioned routes designed to avoid hot spots.
Layout
Perceived construction details
The joints between panels and escape lines are regular; hinges, pins and bolts show the care on which the yard builds reputation. The dash rests on anti-vibrating supports and technical wallpapers celano cablaggi ordered with correct curvature rays: unmistakable signs of a construction designed to last.
Innovation and research
Controlled composite and processes
Vacuum infusion on sandwiches allows to obtain repetitive pieces with project weights and lower production wastes. This results in predictable elastic responses and in an ideal base for developing surface drives, very sensitive to mass variations.
Dynamic stability and comfort
The gyroscope predisposition drastically reduces the roll to the bottom. In medium-speed transfer, the effect is felt on the comfort of the guests of the cockpit and on the reduction of the fatigue of the helmsman, which is to correct less on the lateral beaking.
Energy and home automation
The adoption of LED, inverter for air conditioning and digital switching to rationalize the loads leads to more intelligent consumption in shady. Energy management visualizes absorption, priority and thresholds: the user sees what is happening and can intervene before the generator works uselessly out of optimum range.
Life on board: usage scenarios
Beach day
You climb in the morning, you set 30–34 knots and in less than an hour you are in a sheltered bay. Water platform, tender launched in a few minutes, ready toys. Under the rigid roof the shade is full and ventilated; refrigerators and plate are where they must be, without winding paths from the kitchen block to the table. At the end of the day, lifts and fast closings: everything returns in place effortlessly.
Transfer with short sea
The sharp bow and the deadrise aft allow to maintain a brilliant rhythm containing the strokes. By adjusting the thirst and dive of the drives, the boat “ sits” enough to avoid annoying resonances. The windscreen, well tilted, defends the occupants from sprays and high-speed rails.
Extended Weekend
Two cabins, two bathrooms, deep storages: what it takes to stay out without compromise. Multizone air conditioning avoids cold or hot areas; indirect lighting creates atmosphere without dazzling. In the evening navigation, the reading of the instruments is clear and not intrusive, thanks to colour palettes that are not fatigued.
Sea performance: driving and sensations
Acceleration and response
From the lifting regime to the cruise, the exit from the water is clear and the passage to the door is rapid but progressive. The bar remains light, the feedback of the immediate rudder. At the corner you appreciate the side adhesion: the supports are full, the loss of support comes gradual and legible, without surprises.
Checking the setup
The added value of surface is fine control: small trim and immersion touches generate perceived changes in noise and resistance. Once “take your hand”, the shipowner will find his set point in a few minutes and will reply almost by memory, adapting it to the load of the day.
Comfort
The machine room is secluded with care; on the march, in the living room under hard top you converse without having to raise the tone. Inlet air to the machine is channeled to avoid whistles and vents in regime changes. Undercover vibrations are perceived but dampened, consistent with a high-performance open.
Market and competition
Reference Segment
The 64 is placed in the dial open of value between 60 and 66 feet with strong stylistic identity and attitude to speed. The price depends in a sensitive way on engines, special paints, advanced electronics, stabilization and customizations interior. The perceived value, in addition to the numbers, is played on the consistency of the project and on the quality of the visible details.
Comparison with alternatives
Open sports with IPS
Very easy in manoeuvre and parsimoniosi to 25–32 knots, but rarely reach the same dynamic tension and the same readiness over the 35 knots of a well-tuned surface.
“Transformer” blanket
Scene solutions and extreme modularity; they sacrifice something in terms of pure speed and short wave response. Ideal for event and hospitality.
Missiles off board
High peak speed and simplified maintenance of propulsion groups; on the deck the acoustic timbre of the motors remains more present, and the center of gravity can be affected.
Granturismo “classic” axis
Linear comfort and total predictability, but with lower top speed and less fine adjustment to very high ranges.
Distinguished Strengths
- Unmistakable line that communicates exclusivity even at a distance.
- High Cruise Regime with punctual order control.
- Pragmatic cover designed for real use, not for showcase effect.
- Accurate construction with ordered cablings and fine finishes.
Object criticism
- Learning curve in surface management: it serves a timoniere who loves to “drive”.
- Consumption consistent with the category: the best performance is achieved with clean boat and correct sea-state gait.
- Access price high in front of important customizations, in line with the boutique nature of the brand.
Customer, channels and management
Who speaks this boat
The type owner is experienced, wants an object with a signature, does not want to give up speed and demands a bridge that really works for guests and family. In the premium charter, the boat works well for “experiential” days at a high aesthetic rate, with quick return even to the weather.
Intelligent maintenance
The optimal program provides constant attention to hull, propellers, drive convergences, belts and cooling. A calendar of targeted controls, in addition to preserving performance, maintains a higher residual value and makes the sale on the secondary more linear.
Future prospects
Plausible developments
The platform lends itself to cyclic updates: new generation electronic packages, more capacious batteries, lightening on furniture and components, beach area accessories increasingly integrated. On the comfort front, it is realistic to expect even more use of stabilization and additional acoustic optimizations.
Direction of the yard
The line followed so far — formal cleaning, authentic performance, tailoring — is the compass of the entire range. The 64 remains angular stone: it is large enough to live the sea in large, but compact enough to remain “guided” as a sports tool.

Operating advice of the expert
Starting point
- Perform a vacuum test and one full load test, annotating assets and regimes for replicability.
- Establish two cruise reference: a “high” for good sea and a “medium” for short wave.
- Check the cleaning care every 4–6 weeks in the season of intense use.
Daily use
- Pre- check-out 60 seconds before each departure (levels, pumps, alarms, A/C logic).
- Manage the mobile weight (ancore, toys, cambuse) with criterion: the balance really affects comfort.
- Set consumption curves with personal references: few well taken data are worth more than a thousand tables.
Conservation of value
- Keep documented history of interventions and updates.
- Insert appetable equipment (stabilizer, fast curtains, premium paints) already in order.
- Care detailing outside and small internal “represe” at the end of the season.

Conclusions
The Maori 64 ft is the most stringent interpretation of the concept of open Mediterranean high performance: light but solid hull, surface transmissions for really high mediums, functional blanket and interior without unnecessary frills. It is a boat that asks the timoniere to be protagonist — to listen to the hull, to work up with the drives — and that in return offers rhythm, control and an aesthetic that does not go unnoticed. In a crowded landscape of scenographic models or, on the opposite, hyper-rational, this 64 feet is placed at the meeting point between driving pleasure, efficiency at high ranges e brand identity. For the owner looking for a 60–66’ with a clear signature, strong sensations and true usability, there remains a choice of great consistency.
