When you enter the salon from the aft deck you feel the vessel's spacious 18'2" beam. The composite construction of the Marlow Explorer allows this space to be very open with a good view beyond the salon and galley to the front windows. The tinted windows and wooden blinds allow just the right amount of light. The aft salon door is one of a pair. On nice days when you want natural ventilation the second aft door can be unlatched and slid open to a 5' wide opening. The large settee to starboard is upholstered in Ultraleather facing directly across a set of comfortable chairs on port.Custom hi-lo teak tableWine coolerRefrigerator/ice makerTeak blindsBose home theatre systemBuilt-in settee to starboardLoose chairs to portGlass and bottle storageAmple storage throughoutTeak and Holly floors

The Marlow Explorer is one of the few yachts in the world in which time has been taken to optimize the basic hull design. Most yachts built today are very similar to each other and their predecessors over the last 20 years. When you see a Marlow Explorer on land you notice very quickly that the yacht is blocked at the bow like every other boat, but at the stern she rests on her own twin keels. The propellers are well above the bottom of the keels and it is obvious that a light grounding on a sand bar will only result in some worn bottom paint. What is not so obvious is how these strut keels will make the boat handle in a following sea. The lateral resistance provided makes the boat track straight with very little rudder correction required. You can tell that the deck is molded as one piece because there are no seams from the transom to the bow, including the Portuguese bridge. The windshields and side windows are tinted glass and laminated with a layer of 3M Hurricane shield to a total thickness of 11mm, twice what most builders use in vessels below 100'.The teak rails are perfectly finished with 10+ coats of the finest varnish and finished with a few additional protective coats of clearcoat. The hull is molded in gel coat and topped with numerous coats of primer and Oyster white Awlgrip keeping her shiny. She will keep her form because the Vinylester resin encases two layers of kevlar and many layers of non-woven fabrics that are vacuum bagged to the Core-Cell structural foam core. The inner laminate is all high tech non-woven fabrics. The bilges are smooth and finished like the rest of the yacht.In the cockpit cabinet under the stairs is a fresh and salt water washdown and shower.Electric grillRefrigerator with icemaker, and sink on boat1000# Aritex full rotation davitCockpit showerSwim ladderStainless Steel Danforth anchorStainless Steel Plow anchorFresh water and sea water wash down system at bow and sternMaxwell windlass 2200 dual gypsyDinghy chocks11’ Boston Whaler tender with 25HP Yamaha OutboardBow and stern thrustersSTIDD helm chairsTeak decks - recently sanded and cleaned

The flybridge is an excellent place for fair weather cruising and entertaining guests with two Stidd helm chairs, one on centerline. The Garmin GPS 7215 plotter can be set up to show any combination of GPS Map, Radar, or depth data. A full set of Caterpillar electronic controls is immediately forward of the large stainless steel wheel. The console also has displays for wind velocity and direction, water depth, and boat speed. The VHF and yachts intercom phone are within easy reach. The flybridge is protected by a full fiberglass hardtop. The flybridge is accessible by stairs from inside the pilothouse and outside from the aft cockpit. There is comfortable seating for eight people, with a table. There is a sink, refrigerator with icemaker and plenty of storage as well as a Gaggenau electric grill.The 1,000 pound hydraulic davit with remote control and the dinghy with outboard are aft of the flybridge seating area.Stidd helm chairNew Garmin GPS, Radar, SounderNew ICOM VHFsNew Garmin AutopilotBow and Stern thruster controlsRefrigerator with ice maker Naiad stabilizer controls Wireless yacht controller1000lbs davitRaymarine boat speedElectric GrillSinkUnder seat storage with drain matsSeating to port and starboardTable on starboard side

You enter the lazarette from the aft cockpit and when you stand at the bottom of the ladder you have full head room. On either side of the lazarette there are beautifully finished teak doors that enclose the batteries, cablemasters, and other equipment. Most of the space is open for your use as general storage. The forward bulkhead of the lazarette is the aft engine room wall where the main battery distribution switches are mounted. The aft doors in the lazarette give you access to the steering gear, autopilot ram, stern thruster and trim tab system. This area is beautifully finished in white gelcoat like all the bilges on the yacht.
