Upstart German yacht builder Mayla Yachts is launching a new yacht that will redefine the benchmark for luxury sports yachts by fusing open water performance with unrivalled comfort and refined design. In its debut in Düsseldorf, the 44-foot (13The 5-meter-long Mayla GT resembles the tip of a harpoon, showcasing a unique luxury and power. It is always ready to split air and water molecules and spit at a three-digit target top speed. 
The Mayla GT is a modern homage to the speedboats of the 70s and 80s, with streamlined lines that accentuate high-performance character. What makes it unusual is that the Mayla GT has a slender and elegant silhouette that is reminiscent of a racing boat rather than a long-distance cruising boat. This design concept gives it a unique charm and sense of speed. 
This superyacht features a double transverse stepped hull and a patented petestep deflector to ensure optimal hydrodynamic efficiency. While these innovative designs are common in offshore racing boats, the Mayla GT takes it a step further by introducing air bubbles under the hull via a transverse staircase to reach a higher top speed with the same power. The PeteStep deflector adjusts the direction of the water jets under the hull to generate additional lift, making the ride smoother, more stable, quieter and reducing energy consumption by up to 35%. 
The Mayla GT is made entirely of carbon fiber prepreg, achieving a unique blend of lightness, strength and stiffness. This manufacturing process meets the highest standards of millimeter-level accuracy, ensuring superior quality and performance.
The Mayla GTS, which debuted at the Düsseldorf Boat Show, is equipped with two entry-level ilmor 6sThe 2L V8 supercharged engines, each with an output of 650 hp, give the boat a weight-to-power ratio of 35 kg horsepower for a top speed of more than 70 knots. Developed in collaboration with ILMOR, this engine is a marine-grade version of GM's famous LT4, C7 Corvette and the famous Cadillac Blacking.
For customers looking for more power, Mayla also offers a 2,200 hp GTR or 3,100 hp GTR-R petrol engine variant. The two models increase the top speed to more than 80 knots (more than 148 kmh) and more than 100 knots (more than 193 kmh) respectively. For those who value sustainability over speed, there is a choice between the 2,200 hp 50 knot all-electric E-GT model or the diesel-electric hybrid E-GTR version. This hybrid model combines the same electric powertrain with a 400 hp diesel engine and can reach a top speed of 60 knots (111 km/h). In addition, there is a 1700 hp diesel GTO to choose from. 
To withstand the loads of such a high-performance vessel, the hull structure was developed by the famous Dutch engineering office Solico and can withstand speeds of up to 100 knots. When we talk about horsepower, fluid mechanics and thin carbon construction, the Mayla GT is like a racing boat focused on speed. But it's not just about speed, it's about bringing you the ultimate in luxury and comfort. 
The technical specifications of this yacht are impressive. Although its length reaches 44 feet (13.).5 meters), but weighs only 45 tons. Designed to accommodate up to eight valued passengers, it offers the ultimate in luxury for those looking for high performance. The Mayla GT's luxurious cabins are equipped with double beds, toilets, separate showers, Alcantara seats, wardrobes, dressing areas, TV screens and premium sound systems. The yacht carries 200 litres of fresh water and is equipped with a 22-litre hot water system. 
The open cockpit features a sliding recliner, a shock-absorbing driver's seat, a fold-out table and ample storage space for maximum comfort and convenience during the voyage. A spacious garage at the stern of the boat can store your jet ski, and the electric gate design makes it easy to turn it into a beach club platform for fun on the water. When you arrive at your destination, you'll find a mini bar, barbecue facilities, underwater lighting and premium sound to add to the fun of your party. In addition, the company offers optional extras such as air conditioning and gyro stabilizers to ensure that you can maintain a stable sail even on rough seas.
