Morris Yachts: Building the World's Best Luxury Sailboats on the Coast of Maine

“Superyacht is a frame of mind, not a measurement.” Though Maine’s Cuyler Morris doesn't build the world’s largest sailboats, many would say he builds the best. Morris Yachts are known the world over for their exclusive, exquisitely crafted sailing yachts, “the Stradivarius of the seas.” The family-owned firm, founded in 1972, does not aim to become a megabrand, but their reputation for luxury, performance and unparalleled quality stands as the envy of many larger marques. The business is flourishing, with a new sales office recently opened in Newport, Rhode Island. 

On a recent excursion to Mount Desert Island, Maine, we toured the Morris boatyard and went sailing with Mr. Morris aboard one of the company’s beautiful hand-built yachts, experiencing the pleasures and privileges of a Morris owner for the space of an afternoon. The trip took us past some of the East Coast’s most exclusive real estate and summer retreats of some of the wealthiest families in America, a suitable setting for a sail on such an exclusive craft. And while a Morris yacht turns heads in any harbor, like the estates on MDI, they are made first and foremost for the private enjoyment of the owner.

Morris’ main business is building semi-custom sailing yachts from 29 to 80 feet . Their newest creation, the M46, is a sleek 46 footer priced from $1.1M, which puts it at the very top of the market for yachts of that size. Morris customers know they’re getting their money’s worth by buying a boat that is built to last a lifetime, with every single detail constructed to exacting specifications. You don't even need to be an expert sailor, since the boats are designed to be easily sailed by a single person so that owners can make the most of their time on the water — even beginners can quickly master their controls.

Both of Morris’ signature lines, the elegant  M-Series  and sporty Ocean Series, have set benchmarks for excellence among discerning yachting enthusiasts. Over the years, the brand has worked with world-renowned yacht designers Sparkman & Stephens, C. W. Paine and David Pedrick. For our afternoon of sailing Mr. Morris took us out on an M36, a stylish 36-foot “daysailer” priced from $419,000 that epitomizes everything the brand has to offer. When the model made its debut in 2004,  Yachting  magazine noted, “The attention to detail and quality of workmanship is dazzling.” 

At the time the M36 was the only daysailer on the market to feature a self-tacking jib, sail handling systems and helm control pods, and essential — though extremely expensive — equipment for easy single-handed sailing. Since then many boatbuilders have sought to emulate the company's designs at a lower cost — “often copied but never perfected,” as Morris puts it. The M-Series yachts are designed for spending a few hours or a weekend on the water in perfect comfort and style, while the Ocean Series is made for longer excursions with more time spent aboard and belowdecks.

Classic materials like mahogany, teak, steel, brass and chrome abound aboard a Morris yacht, giving it a timeless appearance. You also find many high-tech elements like carbon fiber and Kevlar composites for masts and spars. Put in an order for an elegant new M46 and you will be provided with a dedicated project manager, naval architect and an interior designer to carry out your personal vision for the vessel. The layout offers two private cabins with en-suite baths, a spacious main saloon, a full-sized galley and integrated wireless home office, with total accommodations for up to six guests. 

Interiors can be completely customized to owner’s specifications using the finest materials and fixtures sourced from around the globe. And you can even learn to sail one in only three days. It might sound improbable, but having sailed the M36 we fully believe it to be true. The starboard electric winch means you can raise the mainsail from the cockpit with the touch of a button, and operating the rest of the equipment is equally simple. Powerful but quiet engines take over when the sails are furled. Every Morris yacht buyer receives three days of private instruction, custom designed to match the requirements of each owner — which is included in the purchase price.

Mr. Morris himself has been known to provide said instruction when he has the time, an indication of his commitment to the company that bears his name and was founded by his father Tom Morris over 40 years ago. As well as newly constructed yachts, Morris also runs a brokerage service for pre-owned vessels, including a few classic craft that are up to Morris standards. There are currently 32 pre-owned yachts listed for sale via the Morris website, ranging in price from $38,000 to $3M. And of course Morris will build you a completely custom yacht should you so desire. 

In addition to sales and brokerage, Morris also runs a luxury charter service from their full service marina in Northeast Harbor. While a million-dollar sailboat might not be a practical purchase for everyone, the charter service provides access to a wide range of Morris yachts that are privately owned and therefore impeccably maintained. As an entrée to the Morris Yachts experience, chartering a yacht can be surprisingly affordable and the location provides the perfect means for exploring one of the most beautiful sections of the Maine coast.

Captain - M.Y. Flying Fish

Growing up in New Zealand, Josh developed a love of the sea from an early age which led the way to him becoming a keen fisherman. Whilst Josh has been skippering and working as engineer on diving vessels out of Cairns for over 5 years, when he is not working at sea Josh dedicates most of his down time to mastering the art of fishing. Turning this hobby into a profession with his extensive knowledge and experience has meant Josh has been in high demand with superyachts in Far North Queensland as he doubles as an engineer and fishing guide for guests.

Whether it be river fishing, reef bottom fishing or trolling for our famous far northern game fish (all whilst ensuring the safe and efficient running of the Morris Nautical yachts), Josh has become a valuable member of the crew as an engineer and now the Captain. He also acts as a guide for guests that desire the catch of a life time or to simply source their own locally caught seafood for dinner in between exploring secluded islands and sandy beaches.

Captain - M.Y. Beluga

With 25 years of professional experience as a Captain, my career commenced aboard a sailing catamaran in the pristine waters of the Whitsundays. Throughout my extensive tenure, I have navigated vessels of considerable size, reaching up to 85 meters, across the Pacific, Atlantic, and South East Asia, exploring some of the most remote and challenging maritime destinations.

I am passionate about water sports and hold certifications as a dive master, kitesurfing instructor and surfing instructor, underscoring my commitment to providing exceptional guest experiences on charters. Throughout my professional career, I have coordinated a myriad of charters tailored to a discerning clientele, which has included esteemed celebrities and athletes. These experiences have not only refined my abilities as a captain, but have also instilled in me a steadfast commitment to providing unparalleled service, prioritising the safety, and ensuring the complete satisfaction of all individuals on board.

Originally from Wales in the UK, Curtis moved to Australia when he was eight years old. As first mate on-board, Curtis ensures the smooth day-to-day operations of the vessel, organising and facilitating guest activities, as well as maintaining the ship’s exterior in impeccable condition.

With a meticulous eye for detail, a passion for nature, and a love of exploration and adventure, Curtis has over ten years of experience in the marine industry working as a PADI dive instructor in Indonesia and along the East Coast of Australia.

Curtis is a qualified marine biologist and ecologist specialising in tropical reef species, with Coxswain, and Master V maritime certifications. Having previously served as the president of the JCU Dive Club, he has operated and directed SCUBA diving liveaboards along the Great Barrier Reef and managed and operated the marine and activities department on Orpheus Island Lodge.

Originally from the West Coast of Auckland, New Zealand, Flynn’s connection to the maritime world runs deep, shaped by her parents’ involvement in a superyacht refit company instilled a life a sea for her from an early age. Flynn spent a year on a 60m luxury sailing yacht during its refit- rigging, interior and exterior. Back home, Flynn swum competitively for the Royal New Zealand Defense Force and worked as a barista before she made the move to Australia to work for Morris Nautical.

In her role as Stewardess, Flynn assumes a pivotal role in ensuring the seamless operation of the vessel. Flynn is in charge of provisioning, interior and housekeeping as well as delivering impeccable food and beverage service, consistently meeting the highest standards. Flynn’s unwavering dedication ensures that guests receive the utmost care and attention throughout their journey.

When not on deck, Flynn loves to spend time sailing, hiking, doing yoga and exploring new places. She has a keen interest in photography and ocean conservation.

Deck/Stewardess

Indiah brings a wealth of experience and expertise to her role as Deck/Stewardess. With more than two years of hands on experience working on dive vessels and super yachts, she has honed her maritime skills and knowledge and this has helped Indiah excel on deck. She has worked as head stewardess on two charter yachts in the Gold Coast. Her journey into the world of high-end service commenced in 5 and 6-star day spas, where she worked as a therapist which intertwines with her skills as a stewardess.

As Deck/Stewardess, Indiah is in charge of exterior maintenance, as well as using her coxswain tickets to drive the tender. Additionally, she plays a pivotal role in interior duties such as turn downs, host duties and ensuring the impeccable service of food and beverages at the highest standards.

When she’s not on deck she’s in nature learning about her surroundings and finding fun facts and information about her pristine surroundings that she can share with guests on board to further enhance their experience.
