Maritimo 550
By Jon Meade
 And all that headroom provides a nice sense of space, which is probably my favorite aspect of the Maritimo's interior — its openness. The huge windows all around let in tons of ambient light, and the seating is high enough and situated in such a way as to allow guests to see outside instead of staring at the base of the windowsill. Maritimo's previous hulls featured galley-aft layouts, but the new 550 boasts a more standard configuration with a larger-than-usual dinette.
If you enjoy cooking for your family or guests, this galley will suit Emeril himself. Maritimo provides all the latest appliances, including a drawer-style dishwasher, a convection/microwave oven, a four-burner cooktop and a stand-up refrigerator/freezer. Oddly, I found a washer/dryer combo in the galley instead of belowdecks. But again, the vast windows make working here much more palatable.
Cockpit and Engine Room
I truly miss one feature in most boats today — the ability to pull an engine without tearing the boat apart in the unlikely event of a catastrophic failure. Maritimo provides hatches under the salon sole for this very purpose.
Speaking of engines, access to the engine com-partment through the centerline hatch in the cockpit mezzanine provides reasonable headroom as well as easy access to routine maintenance points on both the engines and the 21.5 kW generator.
