Ahead of the Cannes Yachting Festival, Maiora of NEXT Yacht Group Presents Their Impressive New 30.4-Metre Yacht, M|30

Maiora, the globally recognised brand of the NEXT Yacht Group, is enriching its revered M line portfolio with a new entrant - the M|30. Spanning a grand length of 30.4 metres, the Italian shipyard will present a scintillating preview of the newest yacht at the highly anticipated 2025 Cannes Yachting Festival, with the ship slated for delivery in the summer of 2026.

Demonstrating Maiora’s unyielding commitment to evolutionary design, the M|30 is a testament to integrating successful elements from its predecessors with fresh and contemporary design strategies. The resounding success of the Maiora 30 laid a robust blueprint, allowing designers to craft an updated exterior that complements the more versatile and enhanced guest spaces.

A product of Maiora’s successful ongoing collaboration with Quartostile studio and Acube Design, the M|30 is the third project from this formidable trio, who were also responsible for the M|36 and 36 Exuma’s refit. Their new design straddles the line between sleek, coupé-like lines and ample volumes.

Evolving the boundaries between the interior and exterior, the visionary design includes a slim superstructure, large full-height windows and glass bulwarks. Natural materials and abundant light characterise the yacht’s interiors, reflecting Acube Design’s preference for organic, soothing aesthetics. Balance and versatility form the keystone of the main deck layout, with flexible use living spaces and a master suite featuring a walk-in wardrobe, lavish en suite, and a transverse desk that doubles as a breakfast nook or home office.

For those yearning for the outdoor touch, the M|30 does not disappoint. An enlarged stern beach club reimagined as an ‘al fresco veranda’ connects with the main deck, promoting an organic mingling of spaces. Maiora honors its adored WalkAround concept on the upper deck, featuring step-free passages to ensure seamless movement.

A bow garage offers storage for seafaring accessories or could turn into a pool and sunbathing area, underlining the ship’s emphasis on versatility. The M|30 signature is an echo of the M|36’s style, a unique strip of light along the hull, further affirming Maiora’s reputation for marrying practicality with aesthetic prowess.
