Maiora 29 DP – 30m Motor Yacht for Sale Flag: Malta
A well-proven example of the highly regarded Maiora 29 DP, offering impressive interior volume for her size, a highly desirable main deck master cabin, and dependable performance from twin MTU engines. The Maiora 29 DP has long been recognised as one of the most successful models in the Italian semi-displacement motor yacht market, appreciated for her solid GRP construction, balanced proportions, and comfortable cruising characteristics.
Built by Maiora (FIPA Group), this Maiora 29 DP combines timeless Italian styling with a practical and owner-friendly layout, making her equally suitable for private family cruising or continued charter operation. Her spacious saloon and dining area benefit from excellent natural light, while the accommodation arrangement allows for up to twelve guests to be comfortably hosted across six well-proportioned cabins, a configuration rarely found in this size range.
Built in 1998 and launched and first registered in 2000, she has enjoyed careful ownership and professional management throughout her life. The yacht was privately used for the majority of her ownership, entering charter service only in recent seasons, which is reflected in her overall presentation and mechanical condition. A substantial refit programme currently underway, with an investment of approximately EUR 200,000, further enhances her reliability, cosmetic condition, and long-term appeal, positioning her as a compelling opportunity in the 30-metre market.
