The shipyard invited Italian Quartostile studio to work on the M|36's exterior

Construction of the first M|36 unit is already in progress at the facility in Viareggio, and her launch is scheduled for the summer of 2026 

The shipyard invited Italian Quartostile studio to work on the superyacht’s exterior. The goal was not just to create the exterior lines of the M|36, but to come up with the style and features for the entire new range, which will include vessels of different sizes.  

The high bow section became of the distinctive features of the design, while the shape of dark glazing and silver colour complete the yacht’s image. The Maiora M|36 looks sporty and dynamic both on the go and at anchor.

The massive bow section allowed for a large lounge space with sofas, a sunpad and a pool located slightly lower. There is another exterior area with a bar, an al fresco dining area and a lounge on the flybridge.

One of the Maiora M|36’s key highlights is the exterior aft section of the main deck, where the lounge in the cockpit blends naturally with the beach club, and the fold-down bulwarks extend the area. The pool here can be covered and opened at anchor. 

The interiors of the vessel were created in collaboration with Acube Design studio. Natural materials, fluid shapes, flowing lines create the atmosphere of harmony and calmness on board. 

According to the designers’ idea, the Maiora M|36 should become “a natural extension of the sea” and offer a close connection between the interior and exterior spaces thanks to sliding doors and windows in the saloon, expansive glazing at the level of the main deck and other features.

“The teak flooring extends into the interiors, reinforcing the concept of a boundless space, while handcrafted leather details and artistic references transform each area into a sophisticated and contemporary masterpiece,” commented a spokesperson from Acube Design. 

The vessel with a composite hull and superstructure can accommodate up to 12 guests across five cabins. The raised pilothouse allowed the designers to locate the master suite on the main deck forward, taking up the full beam of 8.20 m. There are four more guest cabins and quarters for a crew of five below deck.

As for the propulsion system, the owners are offered two options: standard twin MAN V12-2200 engines, or more powerful MTU 16V2000 M96L ones. According to the shipyard, the former can deliver a top speed of 24 knows, while the latter can reach 30 knots.
