44M Expedition Yacht MAVERICK Wins Esteemed Award for Best Explorer

The multi-award-winning 44.33m (145ft) expedition yacht MAVERICK continues to prove her worth in the yachting industry, adding another prestigious accolade to her collection.

Presented with the award for Best Explorer at the 2025 Robb Report Best of the Best Awards, the striking yacht from Cantiere delle Marche turns heads wherever she goes, with bold, dominant exteriors and an eyebrow-raising selection of toys.

Previously winning Best New Series at the Boat International Design & Innovation Awards, and Displacement Motor Yachts - 499GT and below, 40m to 45.9m at the World Superyacht Awards, superyacht MAVERICK was delivered in 2024, with exteriors penned by HydroTec, and interiors from the drawing boards of Francesco Paszkowski Design.

An explorer yacht that effortlessly pulls off a military-styled silhouette, MAVERICK is primed to explore even the most disagreeable terrains, with a reinforced displacement steel hull and a 22mm ice-belt above and below the waterline. 

Powered by twin diesel Caterpillar (C32 ACERT) 1,301hp engines, she can reach top speeds of 15 knots with a range of 5,000 nautical miles, ideal for exploring vast terrains and idyllic archipelagos.

What Maverick—and the Flexplorer 146—demonstrates is what can be achieved with a super yacht when owner and yard are in perfect harmony.
