Maritimo C53 Sports Cabriolet

While its performance and luxury appointments make it ideal for Australia's love of sun, sea and fun, the C53 Sports Cabriolet's appearance would look very much at home in any of the glamorous European ports along the Mediterranean coast. In fact, everything about the C53 Sports Cabriolet is both stylish and functional at the same time. From thes sleek hardtop with its electronic sliding glass sun-roof down to the hydraulic transom garage door near the waterline - which opens at the touch of a button to reveal a garage big enough to house a 3.2 metre tender.

The C53 may be slightly more compact than it's larger siblings, the C55 and C60, but it lacks nothing in terms of features and luxury appointments. The saloon is stylish and elegant with seating lofted and positioned forward to offer the best possible view of the seascape. Driving and docking is made easy thanks to 360 degree visibility from the leather upholstered Helmsman deluxe seat. And because the galley, bar, saloon and cockpit are all on one level, entertaining flows easily from inside to out.

Open the throttle, and the C53 powers effortlessly to a cruising speed of 25 knots. And to ensure you enjoy the ride, this show of strength is matched by a long list of creature comforts. The climate-controlled interior provides every luxury whether you're partying upstairs or enjoying some solitude in the three cabin, two-bathroom sanctuary below. Outdoors, a sleek hardtop extends over the cockpit to create the perfect spot al fresco entertaining including its own bar fridge, while Maritimo's trademark walk-around decks provide easy access to a foredeck sun lounge built for two.
