When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Maritime 23 Patriot 2010 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 23 Patriot 2010 at 23,3 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 — 278 lbs less than the Maritime 23 Patriot 2010 at 27 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 23 Patriot 2010 carries a rated maximum of 225 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.Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 83 gal and 83 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
Both boats are rated for 8 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
Bottom line: The Maritime 23 Patriot 2010 and Maritime 23 Voyager 2011 are closely matched on the specs that matter most. Test-ride both on the water you actually use, check current dealer pricing, and factor in long-term service access before you sign.
