The 2017 MAORI 50 is a 50-foot sport yacht built for owners who want quick, confident day runs without the upkeep of a larger crewed vessel. Twin 650 hp FPT C90 diesels with surface drives push it to a 46-knot top end, while the 50-hour engine count suggests very light use. This one sits in Fort Lauderdale and is priced at $749,000, making it a strong candidate for buyers who value turn-key condition and low maintenance over floating apartment space.
This boat suits an owner who wants a fast Fort Lauderdale day boat, weekend cruiser, or occasional Bahamas runner. It is not a liveaboard or long-range explorer; the 50-foot layout and single head point to couples, small families, or owners who entertain a few guests. Buyers looking for a yacht for sale that can hit high speeds, dock easily, and spend more time on the water than in the yard will find the MAORI 50 compelling.
Is the 2017 MAORI 50 for Sale?
Yes, this 2017 MAORI 50 is currently offered for sale through its listing broker. The yacht is located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and is being actively marketed to buyers who value turn-key condition and low maintenance over floating apartment space. Because low engine hours and turn-key condition can protect resale value, and buyers in this segment pay a premium for boats that need nothing immediately, availability of a comparable example in similar condition may be limited.
For buyers, availability is less important than the condition of the specific boat. Engine hours, FPT C90 service records, surface drive condition, hull condition, and the full inventory should all be reviewed. A well-maintained example with fresh batteries and turn-key presentation can have a very different ownership profile from another MAORI 50 that has deferred maintenance.
2017 MAORI 50 Price
The asking price for this 2017 MAORI 50 is $749,000, which sits in a competitive range for a low-hour, 46-knot diesel sport yacht. Low engine hours and turn-key condition can protect resale value, and buyers in this segment pay a premium for boats that need nothing immediately, which supports the asking price. Asking prices are subject to change and should not be treated as confirmed transaction values.
The purchase price is only part of the budget for a 50-foot sport yacht. At 40 knots, twin 650 hp diesels burn fuel at a rapid rate. Plan on a meaningful monthly fuel budget for hard running. Insurance, dockage, and annual engine service on surface drives belong in the ownership math. Buyers should also account for a professional survey, haul-out, and general upkeep, and compare this MAORI 50 against similar used yachts for sale before committing.
Performance and Propulsion
This MAORI 50 is powered by twin FPT C90 diesels at 650 hp each with Jollydrive surface propellers, delivering a 40-knot cruise and 46-knot top speed. The FPT C90 is a high-performance marine diesel known for strong torque and reliable operation, and the Jollydrive surface propellers give this 50-foot sport yacht the speed and handling that performance-focused buyers expect. Only 50 hours on the engines means the major mechanical components are barely broken in, reducing immediate service risk.
The MAORI's Italian build pedigree adds a performance-focused alternative to mass-produced American sport yachts, and the hull is designed for quick, confident day runs. Actual speed and fuel consumption depend on load, sea conditions, surface drive condition, and hull maintenance, so a sea trial that includes both cruise and wide-open throttle should be used to verify the performance of the individual yacht. At 40 knots, twin 650 hp diesels burn fuel at a rapid rate.
Exterior Design and Construction
This 2017 MAORI 50 features a 50-foot hull and 13-foot beam that give a sporty footprint fitting most Florida marina slips and private docks, along with fresh batteries and a turn-key presentation that cut early-season spending for a new owner. The Italian build pedigree and performance-focused design set it apart from mass-produced American sport yachts. The exterior layout is designed for fast day runs and entertaining a few guests.
Buyers should inspect the hull and deck, stringers, bulkheads, running gear, surface drives, propellers, through-hulls, fuel tanks, steering system, and any signs of water intrusion or previous structural repairs. Surface drives reward careful inspection, and the Jollydrive system should be checked by a specialist. Deck hardware, railings, and the cockpit layout should also be tested during a personal viewing in Fort Lauderdale.
Interior and Accommodation
This 2017 MAORI 50 is not a liveaboard or long-range explorer; the 50-foot layout and single head point to couples, small families, or owners who entertain a few guests. The interior is designed to support day boating and weekend cruising rather than extended stays, keeping the boat focused on speed and easy maintenance. Buyers who want a floating apartment should look at a different class of yacht.
Individual boats may have different upholstery, appliances, flooring, and interior finishes depending on subsequent refits. Buyers should inspect the galley equipment, refrigeration if equipped, plumbing, bilge systems, and all accommodation spaces for condition and evidence of regular maintenance. The single-head layout keeps the interior simple and consistent with the boat's performance mission.
What to Check Before Buying a 2017 MAORI 50
Before making an offer, ask for the engine scan, service records, and a sea trial that includes both cruise and wide-open throttle. The survey should cover the hull and deck, stringers, bulkheads, running gear, surface drives, propellers, through-hulls, fuel tanks, steering system, electrical equipment, plumbing, and bilge systems. Surface drives reward careful inspection, and the 50-hour FPT C90s should be verified by a diesel technician familiar with Jollydrive.
The twin FPT C90 diesels should be inspected individually, including the 50 engine hours, service records, diagnostic reports, cooling systems, turbochargers, exhaust components, transmissions, and surface drives. Buyers should also test navigation electronics, VHF radio, pumps, and other onboard systems. A clean survey makes this 2017 MAORI 50 for sale worth moving on quickly.
