KJM Marine Appointed Official Representative for Maritimo Yachts Across GCC, Indian Ocean and Key MENA Markets

KJM Marine has been appointed as the official representative for Maritimo Yachts across Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt, Lebanon, the Maldives, Mauritius, and the Seychelles. The partnership strengthens KJM Marine’s position in the luxury yacht sector while bringing one of Australia’s most respected yacht manufacturers closer to customers across the Middle East, North Africa, and the Indian Ocean.

Founded by renowned Australian yachtsman Bill Barry-Cotter, Maritimo has built a global reputation for producing premium long-range motor yachts designed for serious cruising. Unlike many manufacturers that focus primarily on marina-to-marina boating, Maritimo yachts are engineered for extended voyages, combining performance, comfort, and efficiency. A key feature of the Maritimo range is its proven shaft-drive platform, known for its reliability, fuel efficiency, and ease of maintenance. Combined with advanced hull designs and balanced weight distribution, Maritimo yachts offer exceptional cruising range, making them ideal for destinations such as the Arabian Gulf, Red Sea, Mediterranean, Maldives, and Seychelles. The brand is also recognized for its signature enclosed flybridge design.

Unlike traditional open flybridges, Maritimo’s climate-controlled enclosed flybridge provides greater comfort, protection from harsh weather, and reduced fatigue during long passages—an advantage particularly valued in the Gulf region. Maritimo’s focus on onboard lifestyle is reflected through features such as electrically opening saloon windows, expansive entertaining areas, spacious interiors, and one of the largest adventure deck and beach club platforms in its class. These design elements create a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living while maximizing comfort for owners and guests. Every Maritimo yacht is handcrafted in Australia, where the company maintains rigorous engineering standards and extensive offshore testing to ensure reliability and long-distance cruising capability.

Under the new agreement, KJM Marine will provide sales consultation, commissioning, warranty management, technical support, and comprehensive aftersales services throughout its territories. "The demand for capable long-range luxury cruising yachts continues to grow across our markets," said KJM Marine management. "Maritimo's combination of offshore performance, engineering excellence, practical luxury, and innovative design makes it a perfect fit for owners seeking confidence and comfort on extended journeys." As interest in luxury boating continues to expand across the Middle East, North Africa, and the Indian Ocean, the partnership further reinforces KJM Marine’s commitment to representing world-class yacht brands while delivering exceptional ownership support and customer service across the region. With its renowned long-range capabilities, enclosed flybridge comfort, Australian craftsmanship, and owner-focused design philosophy, Maritimo continues to stand out as one of the world’s leading luxury cruising yacht brands.
