Glass has always had a place on boats, but in today’s luxury vessels, it does far more than offer visibility and protection from the elements. Marine glass is now integral to the experience—shaping light, enhancing space, improving functionality, and reinforcing a vessel’s premium aesthetic. Nowhere is this more evident than aboard Maritimo’s stunning new S60, where glass plays a central role throughout.

In premium vessels like the S60, glass must perform across multiple dimensions: structurally, visually, and operationally. It must withstand the harsh marine environment while elevating the onboard experience. As designers and builders push the limits of innovation, ALFAB remains at the forefront— consistently delivering glazing solutions that are strong, stylish, and seamlessly integrated.

Take, for example, the expansive opening side window aboard the Maritimo S60. At first glance, it’s a striking design feature—connecting the saloon and helm to the outdoors and flooding the interior with air and light. But its engineering is just as impressive: a large, curved panel of marine-grade glass made to exact precision. Despite its size and weight, it opens, closes, and seals with smooth, reliable ease. This glass doesn’t just provide a view—it enhances comfort, ensures protection, and completes the flow between inside and out in a way few materials can.

“Glass is no longer just a window—it’s a structural element, a design statement, and a key to modern onboard living.”

Below deck, glass continues to play a critical role. Frameless shower screens, integrated portlights, and strategically placed mirrors create a sense of space, elegance, and calm. On the S60, ALFAB’s marine glazing solutions contribute to an environment that feels both luxurious and practical, crafted to endure, but designed to impress.

This level of integration doesn’t happen by chance. It demands close collaboration between vessel designers, builders, and a glass manufacturer who understands every angle, from performance to aesthetics to installation. With seven decades of marine glazing experience, ALFAB is a trusted name for those who know that glass is no longer just a window—it’s can be a structural element, a design statement, and a key to modern onboard living.
