After crossing the teak planked aft deck, which has ample seating, a wet bar and full walk-around side decks, you enter the main salon through an oversized door. With teak and holly soles and satin finished cherry wood, the salon is warm and rich, exhibiting some of the finest wood craftsmanship in the world. Just forward of the salon is a spacious dining area for 8 that can quickly be converted for office use due to built in tracks for the table. Moving further forward and up 3 steps will bring you to the galley and pilothouse, which has an additional seating lounge and dinette on the port side. From here you can access the guest accommodations down a custom, circular stairwell to the lower decks. The master, VIP, and two guest staterooms can comfortably accommodate up to 7 people for extended trips. If you proceed upstairs from the pilothouse, you will find yourself on a spacious flybridge to enjoy cruising, relaxing and dining outside in comfort. The crew quarters and mechanical spaces are accessed from the aft deck or swim platform and are finished to the same exacting standards as the guest areas. With incredible attention to detail, she has maximized both the practical and aesthetic qualities associated with top level yachts. Each incredible area is detailed in the following sections.

Vacuum Bagged Hull with Kevlar Reinforcement. Kevlar was chosen as a hull fabric because it produces a hull that is more durable than common, old, low technology fabrics used by many manufacturers. The state-of-the-art hull structure which includes Kevlar, composite laminates, vinylester and epoxy resins and closed cell SAN-based foam is vacuum bagged to produce a hull that can withstand the punishment of rough seas and impact with floating objects. This combination of weight and strength has proven popular even amongst the most adventurous yachtsmen and sailing racers in the world.

The Marlow Explorer have included all the large and small features that make yachting a pleasure. The galley is served by SubZero, Dacor, Whirpool, Franke and Grohe appliances and fixtures. The use of natural stone, either granite or marble, is standard in the galley and heads. The floors are solid, premium hardwood purchases, sawn, dressed and built by Marlow craftsmen rather than plywood with a thin veneer. The drinking water is pumped from its own top quality stainless steel tank with elaborate filtration incoming and outgoing. Separate faucets deliver the water for internal consumption and to the icemakers. The following is a list of the many standard features: On deck:

Marlow Explorer Yachts are designed and built to cross the oceans of the world in comfort and safety while the proprietary Velocijet Strut Keels technology allows inland and island cruising with fully protected running gear. In the Marlow Explorer, engineered tunnels accelerate and shape the propeller thrust for enhanced performance at all speeds. Directional stability is remarkably improved while significant drag reductions are accomplished. The advantages of the twin keels are many. In the Marlow Explorer, the shaft and bearings are enclosed inside a foil shaped Strut Keel, eliminating drag of the struts and protecting the vital running gear from logs, deadheads, trash and dirty water that otherwise flow through exposed struts and their bearings. The shape and design of the Strut Keels reshape the water as the boat passes through it. These changes to the shape of the water and waves will affect the performance of the boat by reducing the stern wave causing a noticeable increase in speed for a given throttle setting. The stabilizing action of the Velocijet Strut Keels greatly reduced the plunging motion usually seen in most boats. These fins are effective at dampening rolling motion and this effect increases with speed. This reduction in pitch and roll enhances the ability of the Marlow Explorer to go to weather thus increasing the performance of the yacht, providing increased passenger comfort and decreased fuel usage. The Velocijet Strut Keels ability to shape the water allows for reduced rudder size by shaping the water to meet the rudders. The reduced rudder size reduces power requirements and promotes better economy. |

The propellers are custom made for Marlow using an advanced technology called Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) construction. They are precisely cut from a solid ingot of nickel, bronze and aluminum - "NIBRAL" - providing for an incomparably smooth ride. Not only is the performance of the yacht enhanced, each propeller is a work of art. |
