When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Maritime 2090 2012 and the Maritime 23 Voyager 2011 are modified vee designs with composite construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Maritime 2090 2012 at 20,5 ft versus Maritime 23 Voyager 2011 at 23,3 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Maritime 23 Voyager 2011 tips the scales at 305 lbs — 150 lbs less than the Maritime 2090 2012 at 155 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
The Maritime 2090 2012 carries a rated maximum of 150 hp. Engine data for the Maritime 23 Voyager 2011 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Maritime 23 Voyager 2011 carries 83 gallons versus 26 gallons in the Maritime 2090 2012. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Maritime 2090 2012 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Maritime 23 Voyager 2011 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Maritime 2090 2012 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Maritime 2090 2012 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 10 passengers and at 20,5 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Maritime 23 Voyager 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.
