Maxi Yachts is a renowned Swedish boat manufacturer with an enduring legacy in the yachting world. The company was founded in the late 1960s by Pelle Petterson, a respected designer and accomplished sailor. The brand was dedicated to crafting high-performance sailing vessels that embodied Swedish craftsmanship, sophistication, and innovative design. The company's pioneering spirit and attention to detail quickly gained recognition, and in less than ten years, the Maxi 1100, their flagship sailing yacht, had become a popular name among enthusiasts and professional sailors.
Over the years, Maxi Yachts has evolved and diversified its range, meeting the high expectations of its global customer base. They expertly blend contemporary design with traditional construction techniques to create sailing vessels known for their durability, performance and design aesthetics. Throughout the 1990s, under the leadership of Petterson's protege, Joakim Karche, Maxi Yachts further cemented its place as one of the leading yacht manufacturers, and it’s models such as the Maxi 1080 were celebrated for their design excellence.
Today, Maxi Yachts is based in Poland and continues to thrive under highly skilled European craftsmanship. Lundh Craft, a distinguished boat building company, carries the torch, ensuring that each Maxi yacht continues to adhere to the highest standards of design, construction, and performance. Notwithstanding the change of location, Maxi Yachts remains true to its core – creating excepcionally well-crafted sailing yachts that embody the spirit of its Swedish heritage. The brand stands firm in its commitment to innovation, perfection, and sailing pleasure, upholding the legacy started by Pelle Petterson more than half a century ago.
