Aimed at those for whom
opulence equals discretion, Italy’s Apreamare offers up its latest masterstroke,
the Maestro. At 66 feet (20.16 meters), she is the leadoff in what will be an
entire range for this family-run shipyard that dates back to 1849. The current
president, Cataldo Aprea, makes a solid case as an advocate of passion and
pedigree. The yard’s tradition of handcrafted woodwork and rigorous finish
blended with the Maestro’s gently rounded shape combine with parent Ferretti
Group’s best-in-class technology and commitment to a brand-new facility at Torre
Annunziata.
"This model is a significant statement by Apreamare with
respect to the U.S. market," states Bob Fritsky, director of sales for
MarineMax. "It appeals to the ocean-going owner and also makes an outstanding
craft for the spectacular lakes and rivers in this country."

Powered by twin Caterpillar or MAN diesels, the boat’s
fiberglass planing hull and proprietary ARG anti-roll system manifest their
qualities in a ride and stability that will seduce prospective owners and those
fortunate enough to come aboard.

Refinement abounds: the "terrace" at the stern, retro touches
like roll-down windows, mahogany and cherry joinery throughout. Apreamare calls
the Maestro an "offshore cruiser," but as the company’s president contends, this
yacht is meant to define its own category.
"After the success of the Gozzo, I decided it was time to do
something completely different," Aprea says. "The Maestro represents everything
I have ever wanted to do in a boat."
Recalling his collaboration with close friend and longtime
design guru Gianni Zuccon, Aprea laughs. "I only knew what I didn’t want, and
that I wanted it to be unique." The Maestro is an oasis of aesthetic serenity
that speaks of intimacy and romance to be found upon the sea.
