Onboard motor yacht MAIA in Split. Brand new, launched in 2025.
MAIA is for guests who appreciate a minimal, elegant style. The interior is modern and refined, with a Scandinavian feel – light wood, white textured fabrics, and quartz wall features in each cabin. Easily the most modern interior I’ve seen at the show so far. Finishes are excellent throughout.
Captain Philip has completed over 200 charters, and it shows – everything is run with precision. He keeps a consistent crew of 11, including two full-time chefs, which says a lot about the standard onboard.
Fuel efficiency is impressive: only 70 liters per hour at 11 knots, meaning the APA is just 25% – very rare for a yacht of this size (most are around 35%).
Her cabin layout is very versatile, and there is an extra Pullman bed, perfect for a nanny or staff member.
The sundeck is completely covered in soft mats for sunbathing, which I really like.
Water toys are generous – 2 of everything (jet skis, seabobs, kayaks, paddleboards, e-foils), plus large floating mats and a floating island lounge with shade.
There’s also a dedicated gym with a sauna.
A standout feature is the hydraulic drop-down stern, with wide steps leading right to the water – beautifully done.
MAIA Yacht Description
Brand new, big platform. MAIA is a 53.1m/174ft motor yacht built in 2025, set up to sleep 12 guests in 6 en-suite cabins. If your shortlist starts with “new boat smell,” this one qualifies.
Serious water access. The beach club is designed to extend with multiple floating docks, which means easier in-and-out for swims and toy time and less awkward ladder choreography. Add the outdoor shower and it keeps the sea day moving.
Toys for the whole group. You get a 6.5m RIS MARINE tender (175hp, up to 12 passengers) plus two Jet-Skis, two e-foils, kayaks, paddleboards, water-skis, towables, and inflatable platforms. Translation: someone is always doing something, and no one has to wait their turn for long.
Wellness built in. There’s a deck jacuzzi for the low-effort recovery session, plus a sauna and gym equipment for those who like their holiday to include a little “I’ll just do 20 minutes.” Air conditioning, Wi‑Fi, satellite TV, and a TV saloon cover the downtime.

Reviews
This was an amazing trip! Every member of the crew was amazing and very funny. You guys have such a cool job and it seems like you all work well together, which made the experience even better!!
We love you all! Thank you for the trip of a lifetime.
Thank you very much for this wonderful trip. We wanted for nothing. Zlatko and Ivan have earned their Michelin star. Kristina, Dora and Rafaela fulfilled our wishes before we even voiced them and were always by our side, even when it became very late. Thank you very much! Marija, our fairy, always kept our cabins spotless. Through her warm and kind manner and her enchanting smile, she brought a smile to our faces every day. She always had a smile on her lips. Pero was always there for us and looked after us whenever we were enjoying water activities. He is a true officer and will certainly be a captain one day.
Captain Filip is exactly what defines a perfect captain: balanced, calm, courageous, approachable and, thankfully, communicative. This all-round package is hard to beat.
We will miss all of you very much. Stay healthy and enjoy life.
We had the most magical week on board your beautiful yacht! Cruising the Adriatic sea and discovering the beautiful history of Croatia is something we will never forget! Because of each of you our trip was absolutely spectacular! We are so grateful for your kindness and warm hospitality! Much love!
Crew / Service - A++
Fully staffed, exceptionally trained and coordinated, pleasant and interesting / happy, overly accommodating, knew exactly that appropriate attention and how to handle most any request. Silent and present when needed and just super experienced. I couldn’t help to notice the uniforms, sporty, fresh, trendy and 6 versions all coordinated down to the shoes! The service and attention was perfectly balanced. Ps the wash smelled great every day. Captains flexibility, confidence and knowledge showed. He knew every island, ideal parking spots, willingness to harbor and pivot, easy and pleasant with great communication and providing options every day. Checked in constantly. Very very accommodating. The crew took good care looking after boys looking for late night action.
Accommodations and Equipment - A
Being a brand new boat helps, extremely well appointed and finished, clean, strong AC, and didn’t skirt the little things, massive speaker and machine for karaoke, costumes, great towels, fresh towels twice a day for swimming, plates and silverware variety every day, etc. TV room excellent layout and technology, and the outdoor sun / sitting areas multiple. The swimming and water activities very important to our group, it was A ranked with all new highest end equipment with variety, and making it available often with no complaints. The few days of malfunctioning air handling was a bummer but was rectified. Possibly consider a bit more shade options like an umbrella mid upper deck near couch. Lots of places to find privacy, very nice.
Food - A++
Exceeded expectations. Extremely fresh and clean, high quality selections, wide variety, depth and breadth of range outstanding. Best that we have encountered to date. Many options to suite everyone. Ate more meals on boat than ever before due to exceptional offerings.
Area Knowledge - A+
