First 38m Maori M125 yacht launched in Italy

The first 38m Maori M125 yacht launched from the Maori Yacht shipyard in Olbia, Italy.

<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5302" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Maori Yacht (Company)">Maori Yacht</a> is now in the final stages of construction for the first-ever 38.2-metre Maori M125. With a scheduled delivery date of Spring 2022, she’s expected to make her first splash in less than three months<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/104573/image/large-7abf391245789b7bd6412e34c11ea26b.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/104573"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/216743/image/large-6cc8af6b26c46278299087e644f051c1.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/216743"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/216744/image/large-fbc9285c4fcbf8e46443049906dda89e.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/216744">With this delivery date closing in, we saw it was high time to catch up with the Italian shipbuilder to see their progress with this very special build. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5302" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Maori Yacht (Company)">Maori Yacht</a> teamed up with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5592" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Studio Architettura Marco Ciampa (Company)">Studio Architettura Marco Ciampa</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5432" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="NavalHEAD (Company)">NavalHEAD</a> who designed her exterior and naval architecture, respectively. The brief was simple: optimise the outdoor living spaces.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/216742/image/large-133b1831596797059cfb86d46c604937.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/216742">“This is a boutique yacht,” Tomaso Polli, sales broker at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/124" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Edmiston (Company)">Edmiston</a>, said during an exclusive interview with SuperYacht Times. “She’s fully custom made and has been designed with a repeat client of the shipyard. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5302" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Maori Yacht (Company)">Maori Yacht</a> designed her with an impressively wide beam that gives her loads of volume.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/215958/image/large-9109bba3e8d1f8db6e7a371b6fa7b326.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/215958"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/215948/image/large-09d4d3e23fd73b7a9a0ef421c8195c5e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/215948">Maori M125 has a slightly unorthodox exterior design, as she’s been styled with a short sun deck to aft, making her generous beach club a perfect sun trap for on board guests. The canopy of the sun deck does provide some cover by the entrance to the main saloon, though. There is enough space for an outdoor dining table under the shadow of the sun deck, so guests can wine and dine alfresco regardless of the weather.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/215946/image/large-e1662a41162436ca0c8bdbfa5c0e2774.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/215946">Another irregular feature of Maori M125 is her forward deck. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5592" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Studio Architettura Marco Ciampa (Company)">Studio Architettura Marco Ciampa</a> installed a large seating arrangement, comprising a C-shaped settee with a large table nestled in the alcove. The forward deck is bolstered by her unique hull shape, which has been cut in a way to provide views from the space. An added benefit of this arrangement is privacy – even when moored at a port, guests can enjoy the deck spaces without being disturbed.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/215937/image/large-654fc7f002474c7a942fe1786f985b62.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/215937">“We also love her unique tender storage that sits under the main deck,” Polli added. “This storage cleverly hides her garage and is likely to be a feature seen on future <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5302" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Maori Yacht (Company)">Maori</a> builds”&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5302" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Maori Yacht (Company)">Maori Yacht</a> explained that they sought to be as environmentally conscious as possible with this construction. Composite was the choice material, which is more lightweight and requires less maintenance than steel or aluminum generally, but because they have a vacuum infusion technique for fibreglass production, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5302" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Maori Yacht (Company)">Maori Yacht</a> can reduce weight further. The set up is also safer for their workers, as during the process the resin vapours are contained in the machinery.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/215942/image/large-2fa1e502d230e07a8d6a0c8a193b456c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/215942"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/215941/image/large-fe56da5dc0db6c254d046dfe5f01a457.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/215941"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/108566/image/large-8f4aa633b69487fd365cc7b0793f2b08.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/108566">The design of the Maori M125’s hull has also been led by this environmental concern, and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5302" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Maori Yacht (Company)">Maori Yacht</a> paid particular attention to reducing fuel consumption. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5302" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Maori Yacht (Company)">Maori Yacht</a> opted for CFD simulations and a custom bulbous bow design for this, which is said to reduce fuel consumption by up to 15 percent, and improve both the yacht’s range and top speed. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/215936/image/large-949e6952d61740ca58575d568210ba42.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/215936">During these final months of construction, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5302" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Maori Yacht (Company)">Maori Yacht</a> will be working to bring the interior styling, as conceived by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4774" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pulina Exclusive Interiors (Company)">Pulina Exclusive Interiors</a>, to life. Together, they’ve got 367 GT of interior volume to curate. Maori M125 can accommodate up to 10 guests, across five staterooms, alongside seven crew members. Little else is known about her interior design.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/215935/image/large-4ecb3dfd648489078a0c47d88f589c48.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/215935">“The owner had so much fun with the design and construction of the Maori M125 that he’s already kicked off the second process for the second hull of the series.

Stefano Koukas, Project Manager of the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5302" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Maori Yacht (Company)">Maori</a> 80 commented, “The <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5302" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Maori Yacht (Company)">Maori</a> 80 is a dynamic and versatile yacht to enjoy with friends and family, it has a young spirit and is the perfect combination of performance and style for those who enjoy a thrilling yachting experience just as much as they like entertaining and socialising.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/207988/image/large-cfb04e4ed611c39847446ee16056f4eb.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/207988">Internally, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/69" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Winch Design (Company)">Winch Design</a> has created a minimalistic, Japanese inspired interior which seems to expand as you enter it. On the main deck is a large saloon with a U-shaped sofa in cream with a brown lacquered table in the centre. The floor in finished in light oak and there are accents of bronze throughout which give the space a warm and homely feel.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/207989/image/large-c5318347a1e71a27e18984063ce6a041.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/207989"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/207990/image/large-63436e6ae11d613ffad76cbdc9b78eef.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/207990">With socialising as one of the main motivations for the design, the yacht can be enjoyed well into the night with DJ decks cleverly hidden in one of the customised cupboards to the port of the saloon.
