2009 Maritimo 500 Offshore

The 2009 Maritimo 500 Offshore is a 54-foot fiberglass cruiser built for serious offshore fishing and extended cruising. Powered by twin Caterpillar C12 diesel engines delivering 700 horsepower each, the boat combines seaworthy construction with practical design. The layout flows naturally from the salon through a classic enclosed stairway to the bridge—a signature Maritimo feature. Below deck, the centerline engine room is positioned aft to minimize noise in the living spaces, keeping the accommodation areas quiet and comfortable.

The three-cabin layout accommodates cruising families and fishing crews comfortably. The master suite, VIP double, and bunk cabin are served by two heads and three showers. The main saloon features teak and leather furnishings with a midship galley and dining table. Air conditioning runs across five zones, supported by a 2.2 kVA Cat generator and Idromar watermaker for independent cruising capability. Shore power hookup and washer/dryer complete the accommodation suite.

The cockpit prioritizes fishing functionality with a substantial fish box and optional livewell compatible with tuna tubes. A custom tuna tower provides a professional vantage point, backed by outriggers and a release game chair. Triple helm stations offer comprehensive control from multiple positions. Full bow and stern thrusters aid maneuvering in tight spaces, while a Bruce anchor with Muir windlass and 80 meters of chain provide reliable holding. Furuno electronics include 3D bottom mapping and TZT3 displays, with systems upgraded in 2023.
