Crafted with precision and passion by the talented team of Cantiere delle Marche, Maverick is the first of three extraordinary Flexplorer 146 currently in the works. It boasts exterior lines, naval architecture, and engineering by Hydro Tec, and interiors by Francesco Paszkowski in collaboration with Margherita Casprini. With her robust design and cutting-edge technical solutions, Maverick stands out in the world of large, luxury yachts. She has been conceived, designed, and engineered for secure and comfortable navigation through the world’s remotest and most formidable seas while being at the same time the perfect superyacht to enjoy spending time in the most luxurious bays and marinas entertaining, partying and/or just living amazing moments of family time.

Her visionary owners, along with their entire family, are set to embark on an extraordinary journey beyond the secure Mediterranean havens. Their initial exploration will bring them to the Red Sea where they will spend the winter months. After that Maverick will be back in the Med and then, crossing the Strait of Gibraltar, she will head north to Scandinavia and the highest latitudes, including Iceland, Greenland, and the northern Canadian coasts and estuaries. Among Maverick’s plans, the crossing of the Northwest Passage is worth a mention. These will be just the inaugural legs of a multi-year global journey that Maverick is impeccably prepared to undertake.

Let’s dive into Maverick’s show-stopping features.

Custom-built A-frame crane: crafted in carbon fiber by Advanced Mechanical Solutions, this A- frame crane with a lifting capacity of 4 tons, is a remarkable piece of engineering and design. It elegantly tucks away after launching tenders, leaving ample space below deck for a beach club featuring a cinema room that can turn into a gym. Flexibility is indeed the key word to this project.

Collapsible bulwarks: The bulwarks can be folded down, extending the aft deck into a sprawling

135 square meters of beachy bliss. Deck fittings on the swim platform take the experience to a whole new level.

Ice belt: Maverick features a 12mm thick ice belt at waterline level, ensuring a journey through frosty waters that is both enjoyable and safe.

Custom tender: Maverick comes fully loaded with Iceman, a 9.5 meters custom tender designed by Valerio Rivellini and an array of water-toys, effortlessly launched by the powerful A-frame crane.

Swimming pool: The main deck features a pool. Covered when cruising, it transforms into storage for deck furniture.

Asymmetrical elegance: Taking inspiration from the much-acclaimed Flexplorer 130 Aurelia, Maverick boasts an asymmetrical layout on the Main deck. A full-beam configuration to the starboard side expands the salon area, leaving a passageway on the port side for seamless service.

And that’s not all – Maverick’s interior, masterfully crafted by Francesco Paszkowski, is a testament to luxury, functionality, and contemporary elegance. The owner collaborated closely with the designers to infuse a distinctive and personal style into the interior. From the family-focused ambiance to the neutral palette and carefully selected materials, Maverick’s interior is a work of art. Huge windows flood the space with light, creating a serene atmosphere that’s both practical and aesthetically pleasing. Let’s not forget the layout. From the Crow’s Nest to the Lower Deck, Maverick’s interiors and exterior spaces reflect her owners’ lifestyle and taste: informal and functional to extended stays onboard for the entire family.
