Luxury cruisers, lined up

Maritimo will showcase its full fleet of prestige long-range cruisers at the 2008 Melbourne
International Boat & Lifestyle Show, giving patrons an unprecedented opportunity to inspect
Australia's finest cruisers in one location.

The M48, M52 and M60 Cruising Flybridges will be on exhibit at the Docklands-based
event, along with Maritimo's new 550 Offshore fishing rig launched in August at the Sydney International Boat Show.

Maritimo stole the show at last year's Docklands event, with the M60 taking pride of
place on Aussie Boat Sales Island.

Aussie Boat Sales' (Melbourne) Scott O'Hare said the company's success at last year's
Docklands boat show - its Maritimo sales in particular - had guaranteed the presentation of the full Maritimo range at the 2008 event.

"Maritimo is regarded as one of the world's most innovative builders of long-range luxury
cruisers and the attention to detail that goes into each and every one of these vessels is just incredible", Mr O'Hare said.

"I've walked over the new C60 Sports Cabriolet, which will be released at Sanctuary
Cove next May, and even in these early stages its design and overall look is brilliant.

"When [Maritimo founder] Bill Barry-Cotter does something, he puts his heart and soul
into it... and this is no exception."

It appears Maritimo has plenty on the drawing board - Aussie Boat Sales has already
had significant interest in the C60, and has even taken a deposit on the recently-announced
Maritimo 70 Flybridge Cruiser, which is set to become the flagship of the Maritimo range.

"We're excited about the level of enquiry we've had on the Maritimo boats that are still in
various stages of development Ð it just shows how highly Maritimo is regarded," Mr O'Hare said.

The 2008 Melbourne International Boat & Lifestyle Show will take place at Docklands'
NewQuay and Waterfront City Precincts, 1-3 February 2008.
