The 80FT is built around one simple idea: stay outside as long as possible.
An open aft deck carries a four seater lounge at its centre, positioned so guests gather around it rather than along the rail, and the deck itself sits level with the water, doubling as a swim platform rather than requiring a separate fold down step. Eighteen day guests can spread across the boat without feeling packed in, moving freely between the bow, the aft lounge and the shaded helm area. It is the same philosophy that drives the smaller 54FT XL and 64FT, scaled up rather than reinvented, proof that Maori’s open deck formula holds even as the boat itself grows toward 24 metres.
Scale has not softened the 80FT’s character.
She carries the same low, assertive profile as the rest of the range, with a long, uninterrupted sheer line and minimal superstructure keeping her silhouette taut despite her size. Fibreglass construction and a hull built around twin MTU, surface drive propulsion keep her weight in check relative to her length, a discipline that matters as much here as it does on the 54FT XL. The result is a boat that reads as fast at rest, not just underway, with none of the bulk a conventional 24 metre flybridge motor yacht would carry. Naval architecture, exterior and interior design are handled together by Maori’s own design team, keeping the boat’s character consistent from bow to stern.
Two cabins, two heads, and nothing wasted between them.
An owner’s cabin and a guest cabin sit below deck, each with its own head, accommodating four guests overnight in genuine comfort rather than a cramped overnight stop. A separate crew cabin forward keeps two crew members on hand without encroaching on guest space, a detail that matters on a boat this size that may well run day charters as often as private trips. The helm sits forward and central, with clear sightlines over the bow at speed, while the layout above deck keeps circulation open between the cockpit, the aft lounge and the bow. It is a layout built for a boat that works as hard by day as it rests by night.
The aft deck is where the 80FT’s day really happens.
A four seater lounge sits at the centre of a level aft deck that opens directly onto the water, functioning as a swim platform, a tender boarding point and a shaded gathering spot all at once. Forward of it, open deck space runs the length of the boat, giving eighteen day guests room to split into smaller groups rather than cluster in one area. The arrangement favours flow over fixed furniture, with shade coming from a hardtop over the helm rather than a full flybridge structure, keeping the profile low and the weight where it belongs, over the hull rather than stacked above it.
The 80FT asks a buyer to think in terms of range, not just speed.
Twin MTU diesels at 2,000 horsepower each give her a 34 knot cruise and a 42 knot top end, backed by 6,500 litres of fuel for a genuine 350 nautical mile range, enough to treat a neighbouring coastline as a day’s work rather than a project. A 1.2 metre draught keeps shallow anchorages within reach despite her scale, while two cabins, two heads and a forward crew cabin give her the structure of a proper small yacht rather than an oversized day boat. As the largest model in Maori’s open range, she represents the clearest expression yet of the yard’s founding idea: real speed should not require giving up real accommodation.
