In the world of luxury yachts, size often takes centre stage, but Pesa II defies this norm with its exceptional design. Despite its modest length, this vessel stole the spotlight at Cannes, drawing admiration for its refined interior and interesting approach. It was built by Maiora, an Italian builder of fibreglass cruisers, with the interior also designed internally.
Pesa II’s unconventional design, recognised with a prestigious Boat Design & Innovation Award, sets it apart from its peers, creating a relaxing and expansive environment that impresses anyone who lays their eyes on it.

Pesa II’s design is a credit to the vision of Maiora’s craftsmen. It features an organic and spacious interior, without forgiving a sleek aesthetic when cruising across the water. It brings with it a peaceful environment and impressive volume, which was loved by judges and visitors alike.
Innovation ran deeply through the veins of this build. From its waterjet propulsion system to the advanced technology that has been integrated into every aspect of the yacht.
The waterjet propulsion in particular allows for a top speed of 33 knots, allowing the yacht to cruise in shallow waters with minimal sound and vibration.

Born as a custom project, the Maiora 35 Exuma series prioritises performance and spacious living areas. Pesa II, the second hull of this model, had to adhere to specific requests from the owner’s demands and preferences including an upper deck lounge for year-round enjoyment and views.

“We were looking for a model that wouldn’t exceed 35 meters and we had quite specific demands regarding various aspects of the boat. As we use the boat also off-season, a non-negotiable requirement for us was an upper deck lounge that could be completely closed in colder weather, creating an all-weather second living and dining room space,” the owner says.
At the heart of the luxury yacht is the integration of advanced woodworking techniques and craftsmanship. This gives a clean finish, and is a major theme throughout each deck.

If you’re paying a premium, you want ultimate comfort. Pesa II provides this with spacious living areas, state-of-the-art amenities and 5-star bedrooms with views you could sip coffee and stare at all day. These paired with the attention to detail in every aspect provide the ultimate indulgence in the finer things.
As for the Maiora brand, they are now part of the Next Yacht Group, which focuses on custom projects rather than mass production. In Pesa II’s instance, the harmonious blend of French design styles, technology, functionality and aesthetics make it no easy feat for the brand to achieve.
