Maximus II Sailing Yacht
About Maximus II
Ten guests aboard a 59-metre sailing yacht, with nine crew to run her, points to days spent on deck under sail rather than at anchor in a marina. Vitters built Maximus II in 2023, hull and superstructure both in aluminium, a build suited to covering distance under canvas.
Build and provenance
Vitters delivered Maximus II in 2023 as a 59-metre (194-foot) sailing monohull, built in aluminium from the hull to the superstructure. At 395 gross tons she carries real volume below her sail plan, and her aluminium construction keeps her light for her length, a material choice suited to a yacht built to sail rather than motor.
Layout and accommodation
Ten guests sleep across four cabins, with a crew of nine to sail her and run the interior, close to one crew member for every guest aboard. That ratio points to a yacht crewed for proper passages, not just afternoons on the water.
Performance and engineering
As a sailing yacht, Maximus II's recorded speed under way is 11 knots, a cruising pace that favours steady passages over quick bursts. Her aluminium build keeps weight down through the hull and rig, in keeping with a boat built to sail rather than motor.
Where she lies and how to see her
Maximus II lies in Newport, in the United States. Boatcrowd arranges viewings there and is present for each one; once an offer is accepted, we bring in the surveyor and set the sea trial ahead of handover.

Buying Costs
- Survey
- A buyer normally commissions a condition survey, and a sea trial, once an offer is accepted and before the sale becomes unconditional. The cost depends on her size and on where she is lifted, and it is the buyer who appoints the surveyor.
- Registration and flag
- She will be registered on a flag of the buyer's choosing, which carries its own fees and its own survey and crew requirements. Where the yacht is owned through a company, the shares rather than the vessel may change hands, which changes what is payable.
- VAT and import
- Whether VAT is due, and where, depends on the yacht's current status, her flag, the buyer's residency and where she is delivered. Where the seller has stated her VAT status, it is shown with the asking price on her page, and it is confirmed in writing before an offer is made.
- Running costs
- Crew, berthing, insurance, class and annual maintenance continue from the day she is yours. A yacht that is also chartered earns against them, and we will set out what her season has actually returned before you commit.
