Sailpages Buyer's Take

The Maxus 24 (CB) is a compact coastal cruiser designed by Jacek Daszkiewicz and built by Northman Shipyard (PL) between 2009 and 2018. With a displacement of 3748.0 lb and a fractional sloop rig, it offers a lightweight, responsive sailing experience typical of modern European coastal designs.

Best for:
This boat is best suited for coastal cruising and weekend sailing, particularly for couples or small families seeking a manageable, trailerable package with easy handling characteristics.
Bluewater capability:
With a low displacement of 3748.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 2.16, the Maxus 24 is primarily a coastal cruiser and lacks the heavy displacement and robust construction typically required for serious bluewater passage-making.
Comparables:
Comparable boats include the Beneteau First 23.7 and the J/24, as they share similar length overall (26.8 ft) and fractional sloop rigs, though the Maxus typically offers more interior volume for its length due to its beam of 8.37 ft.
