Maritimo has set the benchmark in long-range cruising motor yachts, famously pioneering the enclosed flybridge, a design now widely emulated across the industry. At the heart is founder Bill Barry-Cotter, a legendary boatbuilder whose career spans nearly 70 years of designing, building, and racing offshore boats.
