About Maiora

Maiora was founded in Viareggio in the 1970s and came under the Fipa Group in the mid-1980s, which developed it into an international superyacht brand. In 2021 the group's businesses were reorganized as Next Yacht Group, which today owns Maiora alongside the performance brand AB Yachts.

The yard's strength is the semi-custom flybridge yacht in the thirty to fifty meter range. Owners work closely with the builder on interiors, and Maiora has shown a willingness to rethink layouts, with open decks and large windows that bring the sea into living spaces. Much of the fit-out work draws on Viareggio's deep network of craftsmen and suppliers, which gives the yachts a quality of finish that owners notice.

Recent years have brought new lines, notably the Exuma models with their contemporary profile and the M Collection, alongside larger steel and aluminum projects that take the brand into full superyacht territory.

The current range combines the Exuma line, the newer M Collection and larger metal-hulled yachts. Earlier Maiora flybridge models from previous decades also trade on the brokerage market.

Maiora yachts change hands both publicly and privately. There may be no Maiora in the current Reel Deal Yachts selection, but Daniel can search the wider market, including yachts that are not publicly listed.

Buying a Maiora yacht

A pre-owned Maiora has usually been shaped by its first owner, so interior layout, finish and systems can differ considerably between yachts of the same model. The survey should include class records, stabilizers, generators, air conditioning, and the condition of exterior coatings and teak, along with a review of any refit work. An independent review of the propulsion package and electrical systems is sensible on older hulls, where upgrades may or may not have been made.

Maioras are typically run by professional crews and cruise mainly in the Mediterranean, with some in Florida and the Caribbean. Flag, VAT status and any charter history should be reviewed early. Daniel's guide to buying a yacht walks through the process from shortlist to closing.

How to buy a yacht

Selling a Maiora yacht

Maiora is a smaller brand than the largest Italian groups, so comparables are fewer and pricing needs judgment. A valuation draws on sold Maioras where they exist and on similar Italian semi-custom yachts, adjusted for refit, specification and condition.

Buyers who know Viareggio yachts appreciate the brand's craftsmanship, and Daniel positions a Maiora accordingly: quietly among qualified buyers and advisors, or through a worldwide campaign with cooperating brokers around the Monaco and Cannes shows. Thorough documentation and a well-presented interior do much of the work. Timing the sale ahead of the Mediterranean season often widens the audience.

Maiora new builds

A new Maiora is commissioned directly with the yard in Viareggio. Daniel acts on the client's side, helping frame the brief, compare the build option with available yachts, and coordinate with the yard, interior designers and an owner's representative through construction.

Why work with Daniel Grant

Daniel spends much of his time between the Mediterranean, Miami and New York, and brings the same personal attention to a Maiora as to any larger yacht. With the infrastructure of Reel Deal Yachts behind him, he offers informed pricing, careful presentation and complete discretion.

For a buyer, he builds a shortlist that includes Maiora alongside comparable Italian yachts, arranges independent survey and keeps negotiations measured. For a seller, he prepares the yacht and its paperwork, sets a price the market will respect and keeps the process as private as the owner wishes. Either way, the client deals with Daniel directly from first conversation to closing.

Questions owners ask

Who owns Maiora?

Maiora is part of Next Yacht Group, the name adopted in 2021 by the group that previously traded as Fipa Group. Next Yacht Group also owns AB Yachts, and the brand continues to build in Viareggio. Daniel is an independent broker and does not represent Maiora or its parent group.

What is the Maiora Exuma?

Exuma is a Maiora line of contemporary superyachts, currently including the 36 Exuma and the 42 Exuma. The design emphasizes open decks, large windows and a residential atmosphere aboard, rather than the more traditional, stacked layout of many flybridge yachts of the same size.

Are older Maiora yachts a sensible purchase?

They can be, provided the yacht has been properly maintained and refitted. Because each Maiora was tailored to its original owner, condition and layout vary widely, so a detailed survey, a review of class and refit records, and a sea trial are essential before agreeing a price.
