About this tender
The MAX 43 Comfort is the build we ask Maxim Yachts for when the programme calls for a 13.07m day boat with genuine overnight capability and a hull designed around space rather than speed alone. At 3.70m of beam and a shallow 0.84m draft, it sits in the bracket that works equally well on anchor in a crowded bay and alongside a floating dock in a marina berth.
Every MAX 43 Comfort is custom built to order, which means the specification you commission is the specification delivered - not a production-line compromise adapted after the fact. The bow area is configured around either a forward-facing settee or a large U-shaped arrangement, and the sundeck forward gives a usable sunbathing platform rather than a token gesture at the bow. Aft, the folding fins are the detail that distinguishes the Comfort variant and extend the cockpit footprint when at rest.
Below, the forward cabin converts between sleeping and relaxation configurations, and the bathroom is finished with materials that hold up at sea rather than just in a showroom. For a buyer whose programme asks for a vessel that presents well at anchor and remains practical on passage, the MAX 43 Comfort is worth placing alongside the established Spanish and French yards in this size bracket.
Highlights
The four details we'd point out first to a captain who hasn't seen one on the water yet.
The Comfort variant's defining feature is its folding fins, which extend usable deck space aft when the vessel is at rest. This is a practical rather than cosmetic distinction - it directly increases the footprint available for guests in the cockpit zone without lengthening the hull overall.
Maxim Yachts builds each MAX 43 Comfort to the individual owner's specification rather than from a fixed production list. The yard operates an online configurator, and buyers work through layout and finish choices before the build commences.
The bow section is offered with either a forward-facing settee for passage work or a U-shaped group settee suited to anchoring in company. The bow sundeck provides a dedicated sunbathing area separate from both the cockpit and the settee zones.
The forward cabin is designed to function as either a sleeping cabin or a relaxation space, extending the vessel's usefulness across day-sailing and overnight programmes without requiring a separate layout specification.
