Maxus 35 Buyer's Guide
The Maxus 35 is a category-A ocean-class cruiser from Northman Shipyard, introduced in 2022 as the successor to the Maxus 33.1RS after a fifteen-year gap. Built by a yard that has produced yachts over 33 feet since 2007, it pairs a modern hull with flexible cabin and keel layouts, making it a credible used-market candidate for sailors who want a contemporary cruiser rather than a traditional one.
Layouts on the Used Market
Used Maxus 35 boats appear in two- and three-cabin interior configurations. The two-cabin version places the toilet at the foot of the starboard companionway and keeps it separate from the shower — a rare separation in a boat near 35 feet — while a hatch from the shower opens to a large hold and the aft locker is divided from that hold by an opening panel. The saloon is roomy with strong headroom, a lighted mess, and a raised minimalist chart table that preserves berth space. Exterior choices center on keels: the standard long L-shape draws 1.95 meters, the short L-shape 1.50 meters, and chine keels were offered to allow dry berthing and land storage. A twin-keel variant was under study at the time of publication and should not be assumed present on boats from that period.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Brokers' listings commonly fit the Maxus 35 with an inverter, freezer, hot water, autopilot, chartplotter, and life raft as standard cruising equipment. For buyer consequence, the meaningful clusters are power and energy — inverter and freezer demand a robust house bank — and navigation and safety, where autopilot, chartplotter, and life raft signal a boat equipped for extended passage use. The Northman Prestige Collection also lets owners specify fabric and color options, so interior trim alone is not a reliable indicator of upgrade level.
What to Inspect
The stern drops down into a bathing platform and a forward delphiniere integrated into the deck, both of which should be checked for gelcoat and hinge wear from repeated use. The concealed rigging runs under a double canopy, so inspect the canopy fastenings and the shrouds affixed directly to the hull exterior for any deck-level intrusion anchor. With the engine available on either shaft line or saildrive, confirm which drive type is fitted and look for the corresponding seal or alignment condition, and verify the Jefa steering and deep rudder blade for play at the quadrant anchor.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
Typical markets for the Maxus 35 are Spain, the Netherlands, and Croatia. For a shopper, the short checklist is: confirm keel type and immersion against intended cruising grounds; verify two- versus three-cabin layout and the separate shower in the two-cabin version; check drive type and steering assembly; and review the canopy and deck hardware for wear.
