Forty two knots at cruise is not a typo. It is the point of the boat.
Twin Volvo D11 engines, each delivering 725 horsepower, drive the Maori 46 to a 50 knot top speed, figures that place her firmly among the faster open yachts of her length. A 2,000 litre fuel capacity gives a 250 nautical mile range at cruise, enough for a full day of fast running between anchorages with margin to spare. The planing hull holds its line at speed, and the 0.9 metre draught that makes her so useful in shallow water never comes at the cost of stability when the throttles are open.
Marco Ciampa drew a profile that looks fast standing still.
The Italian naval architect’s lines run clean from bow to stern, with no broken sheer and no detail that does not serve the shape. At 4.7 metres beam against 14.2 metres of length, the proportions favour speed over volume, giving her the taut, athletic stance that open yacht buyers look for. GRP construction keeps weight down and performance up, and the low profile makes her easy to handle alongside and comfortable to helm at speed. She draws attention in a marina for the same reason she performs well at sea: nothing about her shape is there by accident.
One cabin. Two berths. A boat built for an owner, not a charter roster.
Maori’s own interior team has fitted a single well appointed cabin below, sized for genuine comfort rather than stretched to accommodate more guests than the hull can reasonably carry. It is a layout that suits a couple or a small family making the most of day trips with the option of staying aboard overnight, rather than a yacht built to sleep a full charter party. The choice keeps the Maori 46 honest about what she is: a fast, design forward open yacht first, with just enough accommodation to extend a good day on the water into an evening.
By day, the Maori 46 holds twelve guests without ever feeling crowded.
The open deck layout, true to the Maori name, removes the barriers between helm, lounge and cockpit, so guests move freely from bow to stern as the day unfolds. Seating is arranged for conversation at anchor and security underway, with sightlines kept open across the full length of the boat. It is a deck built around entertaining in short bursts rather than long voyages, suited to lunch stops, swim calls and fast transfers between favourite anchorages along the coast.
A crew of one and a price under a million euros make the Maori 46 an unusually accessible entry into fast yachting.
New pricing sits at approximately 800,000 euros, with twin Volvo D11 engines, a 250 nautical mile range and a 50 knot top speed included as standard rather than as an expensive option. Engineered entirely in house by Maori, she asks little in the way of crew or running cost for the performance and presence she offers. For an owner drawn to Marco Ciampa’s design language and a genuine turn of speed, the Maori 46 is a focused, well priced way in.
