This vessel combines lightweight yet robust construction with exceptional strength characteristics, offering full customization to owner preferences. High-end finishes and thoughtfully considered ergonomics define the Maverick experience both above and below decks.
Jo Fensham Contribution
Jo Fensham provided comprehensive soft furnishing services for the range of Maverick 440 Catamarans, developing and producing salon and cockpit cushions, cabin linens, and fully personalized fabric selections. Jo Fensham’s team worked in close collaboration with both the builder and owner throughout the design process, creating detailed mock-ups and material samples to ensure perfect alignment with the vessel’s custom specifications. The final implementation featured marine-grade upholstery with reinforced stitching for offshore durability, custom-fitted mattress systems for each cabin, and exterior cushions engineered to withstand harsh UV exposure while maintaining comfort.
Jo Fensham’s ability to adapt to the semi-custom nature of Maverick Yachts’ building philosophy allowed for truly personalized solutions that enhanced the vessel’s unique character while maintaining professional marine standards.
