Nautical elegance

42 EXUMA is the first yacht by MAIORA and ELIE SAAB: 42 metres of design, comfort, and experiential luxury. Delivery scheduled for summer 2027

Introducing 42 EXUMA, the first yacht born from the collaboration between MAIORA (Next Yacht Group) and ELIE SAAB. This 42-metre vessel redefines the way we live at sea, combining elegant design, comfort, and experiential luxury. The sleek, fluid exterior lines are signed by Giorgio Maria Cassetta, while the interiors – designed by Carlo Colombo (A++) – reflect the timeless elegance of the ELIE SAAB brand, featuring furnishings from the Maison and bespoke details conceived for life on board.

An innovative layout places guest cabins on the main deck and opens up the upper deck to create bright, airy, and seamless spaces. With four decks and a top speed of 30 knots, 42 EXUMA introduces a new vision of nautical luxury. The first unit is expected to be delivered in summer 2027.
