Maritimo 550

By Jon Meade

As you'd expect, Maritimo's fishing version comes with a cleaner cockpit than the cruising model, including hawse pipes for dock lines and under-gunwale cleats. And though the cockpit doesn't come with coaming pads as standard equipment, the rounded fiberglass felt perfectly comfortable to lean against while fighting a fish. You can also choose a livewell, in-deck fish boxes, a raw-water washdown and bait freezers, and a tackle station in the mezzanine. And speaking of the mezzanine, it offers seating for four under a substantial bridge overhang. I would, however, like to see dedicated storage space for gaffs and mops.

You can rest assured that whether you're blasting out of Government Cut for the fishing grounds off Bimini or just taking a leisurely cruise down to the Keys, there's a Maritimo standing by to fulfill your dream.
