Maxi 95 Buyer's Guide
The Maxi 95 is a 31-foot Swedish family cruiser designed by Pelle Petterson and built by Maxi Yachts with Börjesson Brothers from 1974 to 1983, with around 1,600 hulls produced anchor. On the used market she presents as a high-volume coastal cruiser with a raised coachroof and a masthead sloop rig, and a buyer should weigh the boat's simplicity against the age of every system aboard.
Layouts on the Used Market
The defining cabin feature is the raised coachroof, which was used to open interior volume without widening the 10.5-foot beam. Period descriptions characterize the layout as practical and family-oriented, in keeping with the early-1970s Maxi approach of heavy-displacement hulls and high-volume cruising arrangements. Expect a straightforward cruising interior rather than a specialized racer's minimal cabin, suited to weekends and moderate coastal passages.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Cabin heating is commonly fitted on these boats, a sensible match for the Nordic cruising ethos. A cluster of often-seen gear covers energy and navigation: solar panels, a chartplotter, and an autopilot are typical, while canvas and sail-handling upgrades such as a furling main, bimini, and dodger appear frequently. Less common owner additions include a gennaker for light-air reaching and a bow thruster for tight-quarter maneuvering. None of this changes the core boat, but a well-equipped example reduces the immediate upgrade spend.
What to Inspect
The Maxi 95 shows no signature structural weak point to target during a viewing. A surveyor should still apply standard used-boat checks for a fiberglass cruiser of this era, focusing on the raised coachroof seam and the keel and rudder for ground contact.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
These boats are typically found in Germany, Greece, Sweden, Denmark, Canada, and the Netherlands.
- Confirm the Volvo Penta MD11 starts clean and holds cooling temperature
- Inspect the raised coachroof seam for deck-to-trunk leaks
- Verify the furling main and dodger canvas condition
- Check the heating system for safe, working operation
- Survey the keel and rudder for ground contact
