Frankie Mo is a 2025 Maritimo M55, designated as M55-56. Her build started in Gold Coast, Australia, in Feb 2024 and was hull #1 of the refresh, known as the ‘Black Edition’. She spent her first days getting ready for the Sanctuary Cove Boat Show in May 2024. She then made her way across the ocean for her USA debut. She was purchased through Colony Marine in Saint Clair Shores, MI, back at FLIBS 2021. After 3 years, we took delivery of her post-show and started our journey, with Naples, FL, as our home port. Named after our mothers — Frances 'Frankie' Connelly and Maureen 'Mo' Trerice — she was christened Frankie Mo surrounded by friends and family at the FLIBS 2024 Maritimo event.
