MD62ab by Maxi Dolphin is a semi-custom boat that is right up to date. It is simple and easy to handle. It has a sporty potential but can also be enjoyed on a family cruise.

With that in mind, the deck has been designed to be clear and functional, with a lot of free space behind the two twin wheels, while the entire transom folds down to create a spectacular beach area, which is also perfect for moving the tender around.

Located separately, and forward of the helm there is a cockpit for manoeuvring, and one for guests – which is easily changed from a relaxation area into a dinette. The design of the interiors is intentionally simple and functional, with an elegant choice of materials and colours: wood with bleached, horizontally grained oak, light panelling, and anthracite fabrics.

The first boat in the series has a large living area midships, at the bottom of the stairs, and side windows with also a sizeable amount of full-height glass. Using a solution that is often seen on big boats, the kitchen is a bit further forward, below the mast, and is slightly lower, while the entire bow area, with its a double cabin, bathroom, and walk-in cupboard suite, is given over to the owner.

Going aft, there are two traditional double rooms for guests, while there is a small room in the bow, with separate access, for the crew. It is all very simple, and all decidedly beautiful.
