2006 Maxim Yachts 57

This 57-foot Maxim catamaran is a serious ocean-cruising sailboat built for extended passages and blue-water voyaging. Her design and construction prioritize seamanship and range over marina aesthetics, with powerful lines and purposeful engineering throughout. Two Yanmar diesel engines provide auxiliary power, while the rig carries a full sail plan including a battened mainsail, furling genoa, code zero with bow sprit, and asymmetrical spinnaker for diverse wind conditions.

The layout encompasses four large king cabins, each with private head and shower, plus a crew cabin in the forepeak. The entire interior benefits from full air conditioning via five units installed in 2024. Power systems reflect expedition-grade capability: a 1,120Ah SOK lithium battery bank installed in 2023 powers all onboard systems and the icemaker continuously, sustained by a 3,400W solar array added in 2025. A complete Victron energy management suite including inverter and MPPT controllers handles power routing and monitoring. Dual Cummins Onan generators provide backup, while a Watt & Sea hydrogenerator and dual Balmar alternators offer additional charging options.

Recent refits spanning 2019 through 2025 have addressed the systems and structure comprehensively. The Yanmar engines received rebuilds; shaft seals and Max Props received full service. Hull work included substrate sanding, barrier coat renewal, fresh bottom paint, full repaint, and KiwiGrip treatment on the top deck. Running rigging was replaced in 2020 and again in 2025, with new mainsheet cars, electric main winch motor, and static dissipator installed on the mast. Ground tackle is modern throughout—Mantus anchor, all-new chain, and new Lewmar windlass fitted in 2023. A 2023 Highfield center console tender with 25hp Yamaha, new davit, and watermaker with fresh membranes complete the cruising inventory. Extensive offshore spares are carried aboard.
