First 37m Maiora M|38 Set for Monaco In-Water Debut

First M|38 joins Monaco display

Next Yacht Group says the first Maiora M|38 will be displayed in the water at Monaco Yacht Show from 23 to 26 September 2026. The appearance gives visitors a look at a completed example of the 37.10-metre M Collection flagship following the builder’s earlier design announcement.

The show plan is a distinct development from the group’s separate expansion into metal superyachts and from Maiora’s smaller M|30 presentation at Cannes. Next Yacht Group is also preparing the debut of the first AB Yachts and BRABUS collaboration, which Superyacht Guide has already covered as a partnership.

Length, structure and exterior

Maiora specifies an 8.20-metre maximum beam, a full-load draught of 2.35 metres and approximately 275 gross tonnes for the M|38. The hull and superstructure are made from composite materials, and Quartostile is responsible for the exterior design.

The exterior uses a broad bow, long horizontal glazing and deck arrangements intended to make the sea visible from several guest areas. These are elements of the builder’s design brief, and the first-unit presentation will allow prospective owners to assess their execution in person.

Guest accommodation and an adaptable aft deck

The accommodation is arranged for up to 12 guests in five cabins, including a main-deck owner’s suite and four lower-deck guest rooms. The interior work involves Maiora’s in-house style centre and ACUBE Design, while the crew arrangement accommodates five people in three cabins with an option for more capacity.

The aft deck and beach area connect through opening doors and fold-down bulwarks to create a larger waterside setting. A pool with a retractable walkable cover adds another use for the same space, although the exact arrangement may depend on an individual owner’s specification.

Propulsion options and exhibition plans

Next Yacht Group’s technical information lists two possible engine installations and gives different quoted maximum speeds for each. As these are published options rather than independently verified sea-trial results for the first unit, a definitive achieved speed should not be inferred.

The M|38 will appear at Monaco alongside the group’s other new-brand presentation. With a completed yacht available for inspection, the forthcoming show is the next occasion for the builder to demonstrate the new model beyond renderings and specifications.
