Maiora 20 s

About this yacht

Maiora 20S "Hope I" — one-owner, captain and crew maintained since new. A beautiful Italian flybridge motor yacht currently lying in Split, Croatia — one of the finest cruising grounds in the Mediterranean. With a cruising speed of 24 knots and accommodation for up to 11 guests, she combines Italian elegance with strong offshore performance.

Design and proportions. Measuring 23.77 m (77'5"), she offers the volume and presence of a much larger yacht. The refined interior was styled by Maiora and completed in 2013, while the exterior design is by Roberto Del Re — the Italian naval architect known for his work across the Fipa / Maiora range. Thanks to her shallow draft of 1.68 m, she is perfectly suited for accessing shallow bays and coves throughout the Croatian archipelago, the Greek Cyclades, and the Italian Tyrrhenian.

Layout and accommodation. Four guest cabins plus a separate captain's cabin: a full-beam master amidships, two VIP cabins, and a twin guest cabin. Generous flybridge with helm, bar and sun pad. Aft-deck dining for eight, foredeck sun lounges, and the signature Maiora "beach-club" platform that converts the swim step into an extended waterline social space.

Mechanical specification. Twin MTU D2842LE423 diesel engines — a robust and well-supported platform across Italian, Croatian, Greek and Turkish service networks. Generator, watermaker, air conditioning, full electronics suite. Captain and crew maintenance since new means service history is complete and continuously documented.

About Maiora. Maiora is the flagship motor-yacht line of Fipa Group, based at the Viareggio yard on the Tuscan coast — the historic Italian yacht-building region that also hosts Codecasa, Benetti, Picchiotti and Versilcraft. The Maiora 20S line, launched in the mid-2000s, was developed around an open-format flybridge concept distinct from the conventional Fipa flybridge boats: lower profile, wider beam, and a substantial beach-club aft platform. The model became one of the most successful 23-metre flybridges of its decade.

Cruising profile. At 23.77 metres LOA, the Maiora 20S sits just below the 24 m MCA superyacht threshold — allowing private operation without commercial coding requirements while still delivering full-time crew accommodation. Natural cruising grounds: Croatian archipelago (Split → Dubrovnik → Kornati), Italian Tyrrhenian (Costa Smeralda, Argentario, Pontine, Aeolian Islands), Greek Aegean and Adriatic. The shallow draft expands the accessible anchorage list considerably.

Buyer notes. Italian-built flybridges of this era reward attention to hydraulic systems, stabilizer maintenance, and the electronics generation onboard. Maiora hull numbers are documented through Fipa's archive — service history can typically be reconstructed even for owner-changed vessels. NewSail's broker handles the survey coordination and direct dialogue with the Viareggio yard for archive records.

Lying in Split, Croatia — central Adriatic location with excellent flight and ferry connections from Italy, Slovenia, Austria, Germany. New to the market (preliminary listing) at €800,000 — captain and crew available for sea trial and viewing on appointment.
