The Marlow Explorer is one of the few yachts in the world whose manufacturer has taken the time to optimize the basic hull design. When you see a Marlow Explorer on land you notice very quickly that the yacht is blocked at the bow and at the stern she is sitting on her own proprietary twin Velocijet Strut Keels. The hull is molded in gel coat and topped with Awlgrip primer and finished with the beautiful Flag Blue Awlgrip paint. The bilges are so smooth using a special white gel-coating for a neat and tidy, always clean looking finish like the rest of the exterior and decks on the yacht. On deck you can see that the teak planks do not have bung holes hiding screws because instead they are epoxied in place for a far superior bond. There are no seams from the transom to the bow, including the Portuguese bridge due to the single molding piece of the deck giving the yacht unimaginable strength in heavy seas, squalls and storms. The windshields and side windows are tinted glass and laminated with a layer of 3M Hurricane shield to a total thickness of 13mm, twice what most builders use in vessels below 100'.
When boarding the aft deck you will see two stylish settees’, one positioned portside and the other starboard seating 6 people easily. You may also choose to board by stepping directly onto the swim platform where there is a single staircase mid-transom which leads up to the aft cockpit. Just underneath the yacht you find the heavy duty teak stainless-steel pull out style swim ladder conveniently located aft deck middle at the waterline and you can use the stainless-steel grab bar on the the teak swim deck for pulling one’s self out of the water.
