Maritimo has acquired Victoria-based Caribbean motor yachts. The deal represents a powerful synergy between two historic Australian boat builders, both renowned for their commitment to craftsmanship, innovation and the seafaring lifestyle.

Commencing manufacturing in Melbourne in 1958, Caribbean has long been celebrated for its robust, blue water-capable vessels, making it a natural complement to Maritimo’s high-performance luxury motor yachts.

Maritimo intends to conduct a comprehensive review of Caribbean’s product line, with further details on the brand’s next chapter to be revealed in due course.

The acquisition provides a unique opportunity to reinvigorate the range while staying true to the heritage that has made Caribbean a beloved name among Australian boaters.

Maritimo founder Bill Barry-Cotter expressed his enthusiasm for the future of the Caribbean brand under the Maritimo umbrella, stating, “Caribbean is a cherished name in Australian boating, with a rich history of building some of the country’s most enduring and capable vessels.
