Maxim Yachts Set to Make US Debut

Maxim Yachts will make its US debut at the 2025 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, presenting the new Max 44 R—its fastest walkaround model to date. The 45-foot dayboat, designed by Alex Cherigny, represents the Spanish yard’s entry into the American market.

Powered by triple 400 hp Mercury Verado outboards, the Max 44 R reaches a top speed of 55 knots, or up to 60 knots with the optional Yamaha XTO setup. Distributed in Florida by Yacht-X, the model blends speed, comfort, and versatility.

On deck, the Max 44 R features expansive sunpads fore and aft, a versatile cockpit dining area with twin folding tables and four sofas—two doubling as portable coolers—and a carbon-fiber hardtop integrating a JL Audio sound system. Below, the yacht offers two double cabins, one of which converts into a lounge, with an option for a third.

“The debut of the Max 44 R at this prestigious show marks a new phase of international visibility for our brand,” said Marc Forné, Sales Manager at Maxim Yachts. “We’re excited to bring our performance-oriented models to the U.S. market.”
