Anticipation is building among sports cruiser buyers and the gamefishing community to see how Maritimo’s modern makeover of the Caribbean 40F Flybridge has refined the iconic design.

New artist impressions of the Caribbean 40F have been released ahead of the planned global reveal at Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show (May 21-24), whetting the appetite.

While the hull platform is likely to remain unchanged, given it has been proven over many decades of hard offshore running, the finishes and finer details provide scope for creative flare. Even the logo has been upgraded, while retaining the eagle as a symbol of strength.

Refined finishes for Caribbean 40F Flybridge

In Maritimo’s words: “Internally, materials, finishes, and usability, combining contemporary design with integrated technology, create a refined yet functional interior.

“So the Caribbean 40F remains relevant, capable, and rewarding for owners well into the future and meets the expectations of a new generation of Caribbean owners.”

Maritimo founder Bill Barry-Cotter added: “We are proud to present the next phase of Caribbean’s legacy, one that respects where the brand has come from while delivering the performance, engineering, and reliability today’s owners expect.

“Every curve, structure, and engineering decision has been made with intent to honour Caribbean’s 60-year heritage while moving it forward with modern thinking and proven capability.”
