Maritimo Luxury Motor Yachts is set to make a long-awaited return to the Sydney International on Water Boat Show, running from 13 to 16 November at Cockle Bay, Darling Harbour. The Gold Coast-based manufacturer's reappearance after several years away represents a significant moment for the iconic Australian brand.
The event's refreshed format and its new November timing have combined to give Maritimo what it sees as the ideal platform to reconnect with customers and present its latest vessels to the Sydney market.
Maritimo Owner Bill Barry-Cotter spoke about the personal significance the occasion holds for him, alongside its commercial importance for the brand.
“I’ve been coming to the Sydney International On-Water Boat Show for decades, so it feels like a homecoming to finally return. We’ve all missed it, and I know our owners have too.”
He also pointed to the strong level of interest the show has already generated:
“Every year since we last exhibited, our owners have been asking where Maritimo is. It’s going to be fantastic to stand alongside them again in Sydney and celebrate everything we’ve achieved.”
Two of the brand's most celebrated models will be on display at Cockle Bay: the M50 and the M55 Flybridge luxury motor yachts. Both vessels embody Maritimo's core commitments to precision engineering, innovative design, and exceptional craftsmanship. Visitors who step aboard will be able to experience firsthand the sophisticated interiors, advanced technology, and build quality that have built Maritimo's reputation as a global leader in luxury boating.
Marketing Manager Simon Stewart underscored how central the Sydney market is to Maritimo's wider strategy.
“Sydney is an important market for Maritimo, and there’s no better way to reconnect with our owners and the boating community. Maritimo owners and followers have been asking about our presence every year since 2019, and it’s exciting to finally be back as one of the key exhibitors.”
He spoke specifically about the models chosen for the display:
“We will showcase the new M50 Flybridge, which debuted at the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show earlier this year, and has been in demand since its launch in May.”
The November timing and the waterfront setting at Cockle Bay were also highlighted as key advantages. Stewart said,
“We’re really excited about this new-look Sydney International On-Water Boat Show—having it in the warmer November weather makes it even more inviting for owners and boating enthusiasts. For Maritimo, it’s about more than boats — it’s about relationships. We’ve really missed catching up with our Sydney owners face-to-face, and this show is the perfect opportunity to do just that.”
Josh Nash, Maritimo Consultant from Nash Marine, was equally enthusiastic about what the show represents for his team. "Getting to showcase the new Maritimo M50 Flybridge is exciting in itself, but being able to do so at the Sydney International On Water Boat Show is more than we could ask for. The M50 boasts some new features not seen in other Maritimo models, so presenting this beautiful vessel at the new Sydney International On Water Boat Show in the warm, balmy month of November is exciting for our team."
Barry-Cotter reflected on what it means to return to one of the year's standout boating events. "The Sydney show has always been one of the great events on the boating calendar. To return with a world-class vessel like the M50 Flybridge makes it all the more special."
Beyond Maritimo's own lineup, the show will also give attendees an exclusive first look at what lies ahead for Caribbean Boats. The beloved Australian brand, long associated with rugged reliability and timeless design, will use the Cockle Bay event to preview an exciting new chapter that blends classic craftsmanship with contemporary enhancements and fresh innovations. The preview is expected to capture the attention of long-time Caribbean enthusiasts and newcomers to the brand in equal measure.
The M50, the M55, and the Caribbean preview will all be on show at Cockle Bay across the four days in November.
