My Maximus

Two names sit behind My Maximus's shape: Alberto Mancini drew her exterior and Luca Catino her interior, and the pairing shows in a flybridge motor yacht that reads larger than her 28 metres. Dominator delivered her in 2018 as the 28M Ilumen.

Build and provenance

She has a composite hull finished in a premium topside coating, a monohull built new in 2018 for efficient cruising rather than outright pace. Her flybridge carries a private spa bath, a dining area, a wet bar and open lounging space, the deck Dominator built as My Maximus's second living room. A hydraulic swim platform and a tender garage add practical stowage for watersports gear, and she carries MCA commercial compliance, a classification an owner can lean on if she is ever chartered as well as sailed privately.

Layout and accommodation

Ten guests sleep across five cabins, including a full-beam master suite that runs the width of the boat, with four crew in their own quarters. That is a crew of four for ten guests, a ratio that keeps service close without crowding the passageways, and the interior runs from an open main saloon down to a lower deck living space so the ten aboard have room to spread out as well as gather.

Performance and engineering

Two 1,200 hp MAN V8 engines give My Maximus an 11-knot cruise and a 16.5-knot top speed, power sized for covering ground rather than sprinting between anchorages. A Seakeeper gyroscopic stabiliser keeps her level at anchor and under way, the fit that matters most on the days spent at sea rather than tied up in port.

Where she lies and how to see her

My Maximus is offered through Boatcrowd without a single berth fixed to this page; we will confirm her current location for anyone ready to view her. Boatcrowd arranges the viewing and attends it, and once an offer is accepted we bring in the surveyor and organise the sea trial that follows.
