Verdict
The Maxi 1060 is a well-regarded 35-foot cruising yacht with lively sail performance, practical handling, and a compact but usable 2-cabin layout. It suits owners who want a capable, easy-to-manage cruiser rather than maximum interior volume.
Pros
- +Balanced hull and rig give efficient upwind sailing
- +Shallowish draft options improve access to more anchorages and marinas
- +2-cabin layout suits couples or small families
- +Autopilot, GPS, air conditioning, and Wi‑Fi add cruising convenience
- +Fuel and water capacities are adequate for a boat of this size
Cons
- −Interior volume is modest compared with newer 35-foot cruisers
- −Confirmed bathing/head facilities are not clearly documented in listings
- −Berth count and guest capacity vary by source and should be verified
- −Value depends heavily on condition because this is a 2009 yacht
The Maxi 1060 is a 10.55 m cruising sailboat from Maxi Yachts / Börjesson Brothers, sold here as a 2009 example with a 2-cabin layout. Public listings place its length at about 10.55–10.57 m, so the 35 ft figure is a rounded marketing length rather than a precise measurement.
On the water, this model is known as a responsive performance cruiser rather than a heavy-displacement passagemaker. The sail plan and moderate dimensions should deliver good speed potential and predictable handling, while the listed autopilot and GPS are useful for short-handed sailing. Reported engine output is inconsistent across sources, but the verified 30 hp Volvo Penta setup is a sensible match for a boat of this size.
For comfort, the Maxi 1060 is best seen as practical rather than spacious. Two cabins make it workable for couples or a small family, and the listed air conditioning and Wi‑Fi improve charter-style usability, but interior volume will be tighter than on many newer cruisers of similar length.
Value is strong if the boat has been maintained well, because the Maxi 1060 offers a useful blend of sailing performance, manageable size, and everyday cruising equipment. Buyers should verify the exact berth count, bathroom arrangement, and engine specification before purchase or charter.
