Maiora 36X DP

A Kevlar-reinforced GRP hull, classed by RINA for unrestricted navigation, speaks to how a yacht was built, not just how she photographs. The Maiora 36X DP was completed in 2017 by Maiora, the Tuscan yard whose family styling she carries, and she is offered through Boatcrowd from her berth in Athens, Greece. At 273 gross tons on a thirty-six-metre length, she carries berths for ten guests and five crew.

Build and provenance

The hull and superstructure are Kevlar and carbon-reinforced GRP, classed by RINA to Unrestricted Navigation for pleasure use, with an 8.2-metre beam that widens the interior beyond what her length alone would suggest. The exterior lines came from Maiora's Centro Stile working with Studio Quartostile, while Fossati Design Bureau penned the interior. She is a used yacht from 2017 with no refit recorded, so a survey will read as a delivery-condition inspection rather than a history of repairs.

Layout and accommodation

Ten guests sleep across five cabins, with five crew aboard to look after them, close to a one-to-one ratio that keeps service unhurried. The main saloon and formal dining room sit on the main deck, lit by glass set into the bulwarks, and the sundeck above carries an aft Jacuzzi under a convertible hardtop. Crew quarters sit forward and low, kept apart from the guest decks.

Performance and engineering

Twin 2,600 hp MTU 16V 2000 M96L engines give the Maiora 36X DP a 25-knot cruise and a 30-knot top speed, figures that put her in planing territory rather than slow displacement running. Zero-speed Seakeeper stabilisers work at anchor as well as underway, so a night off a beach stays level. At her economical cruising speed, she carries enough fuel for extended passages without constant refuelling stops.

On deck and at anchor

A beach club opens at the stern and the swimming platform sits at the waterline, while private balconies fold open from the cabins below. The flybridge adds a further entertaining deck above, with Wi-Fi throughout, and a watermaker keeps the tanks topped without a trip to the fuel dock. Bow and stern thrusters, underwater lights and teak decks finish the practical side of life aboard.

Where she lies and how to see her

She lies in Athens, Greece. Boatcrowd arranges viewings on request and is present for each one, and once an offer is accepted, a survey and sea trial follow before handover.
