A Continuing Success in the 30-Meter Segment. Maiora, the renowned Italian yacht builder under the Next Yacht Group umbrella, has launched the eighth unit of its highly successful Maiora 30 line. The launch, which took place on March 25 at the brand’s historic facility in Viareggio, coincides with the announcement of the sale of the ninth hull of the same model, underscoring growing demand for this standout yacht in the 30-meter category.
Blending contemporary design with intelligent engineering, the Maiora 30 has solidified its reputation as one of the most sought-after yachts in its size range. The model’s continued success reflects a market shift towards yachts that prioritize volume, adaptability, and seamless indoor/outdoor living without compromising performance or elegance.
Innovation in Design and Layout
With a gross tonnage of nearly 200 GT and an above-average beam, the Maiora 30 offers an impressive sense of scale for a yacht of this length. The design allows for open, sunlit interiors and expansive exterior decks, delivering onboard livability typically reserved for larger vessels.
A standout feature is the 110-square-meter flybridge, designed for relaxation and entertainment. This open space includes a dining area, sunbathing zones, and optional features such as a Jacuzzi, wet bar, and customizable shading systems, catering to both private owners and charter operators seeking maximum guest enjoyment.
The yacht’s architectural profile ensures that the outdoor decks maintain a level surface from stern to bow, eliminating steps and facilitating safe, fluid movement across the yacht. This thoughtful design promotes a more inclusive and accessible experience for guests of all ages.
Luxury Accommodation
Onboard, the Maiora 30 continues to impress with its accommodation layout. The owner’s suite is strategically positioned at the bow of the main deck, offering panoramic sea views and complete privacy. Below deck, four VIP suites feature en-suite bathrooms and a layout that ensures comfort and discretion, making the vessel suited for extended cruising with guests.
Every detail has been considered in the interior outfitting, with customization options allowing owners to choose finishes, layouts, and technological features according to their preferences. This flexibility is one of Maiora’s trademarks and a key reason the model has seen repeat interest among discerning buyers worldwide.
Technical Excellence and Performance
Twin MAN 12V 2000 engines, each producing 2,000 horsepower, power the eighth unit of the Maiora 30. This configuration delivers a maximum speed of 23 knots while offering a comfortable cruising speed suitable for long-distance passages.
Zero, speed stabilizer fins further enhance comfort at anchor and underway, mitigating roll and ensuring smooth sailing in varying sea conditions.
Storage solutions aboard the yacht have also been optimized. A side garage houses a 6.25-meter Williams tender, while a forward garage accommodates a three-seater jet ski. Two Seabobs are integrated into the beach area’s lounge design, and additional water toys are stored within a cleverly engineered section of the garage, accessible via an electrically operated hatch or through the beach stairway.
Final Outfitting and Delivery
Following its launch, the latest Maiora 30 joins the rest of the Next Yacht Group fleet at the Viareggio dock for final outfitting and sea trials. Delivery to the owner is scheduled for spring 2025. Meanwhile, the ninth unit, already under construction, represents another milestone for the shipyard as it continues to respond to a strong international order book.
Maiora’s production cadence and client interest reaffirm the model’s significance within the 30-meter luxury yacht segment. With each new delivery, the brand continues to refine its approach to performance, sustainability, and aesthetic evolution.
A Brand Rooted in Craftsmanship and Vision
Maiora has long been a benchmark in Italian yacht building. Founded in the 1970s and now an integral part of Next Yacht Group, the brand is celebrated for its signature flybridge yachts. Each model has high ceilings, sweeping panoramic windows, and flexible interior configurations.
In addition to the Maiora 30, the shipyard recently expanded its portfolio with the Maiora 36 Exuma and the innovative Maiora M 36, showcasing the brand’s continued investment in design innovation and advanced marine technology.
All Maiora yachts emphasize a balanced integration of form and function, where space, light, and performance work harmoniously to create visually striking and efficient vessels.
Market Implications
The eighth launch and ninth sale of the Maiora 30 signal production milestones. They speak to the model’s enduring appeal among yacht owners who prioritize space, innovation, and Italian craftsmanship. As demand for customizable superyachts continues to rise, especially in the sub-40-meter category, Maiora appears well-positioned to lead this evolving niche.
With refined styling, thoughtful engineering, and a build philosophy rooted in quality over quantity, the Maiora 30 remains a standout in its class, continuing to shape expectations for what a 30-meter yacht can and should offer.
