ARTFUL DODGER - Marlow FOR SALE

ARTFUL DODGER is a meticulously maintained 2014 Marlow Explorer 62E that seamlessly unites bluewater range, sophisticated design, and the celebrated seakeeping that has established Marlow among the industry’s most esteemed builders. Drawing on Marlow’s time-tested Explorer lineage, ARTFUL DODGER delivers notable economy, generous living spaces, and unwavering offshore confidence while preserving the serenity and polish discerning owners expect from a luxury motor yacht of this caliber throughout.

Introduction

Artful Dodger represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of Marlow Yachts’ most sought-after Explorer models. Since the introduction of the Marlow Explorer 62/66 series, very few have reached the brokerage market, as owners tend to keep them for their exceptional build quality, cruising capability, and timeless design. This 2014 Marlow Explorer 62E delivers a compelling balance of luxury, performance, efficiency, and offshore capability, crafted for the experienced yachtsman who demands the comfort and accommodations of a much larger vessel while retaining the confidence and ease of owner operation. Powered by upgraded Caterpillar C18 diesel engines showing approximately 800 original hours, Artful Dodger exhibits remarkably low usage for her vintage, and, together with Naiad fin stabilization, hydraulic thrusters, and a complete Garmin navigation suite with FLIR night vision, she is equipped for serious cruising. The desirable open flybridge arrangement elevates the outdoor experience, making her especially appealing for Bahamas, Caribbean, and warm-weather passages with superb visibility, generous entertaining spaces, and an intimate connection to the sea. Unlike some Marlow 62E models configured with only two staterooms, Artful Dodger features the preferred three-stateroom layout plus crew accommodations, offering outstanding flexibility for family and guests.

Accommodations

ARTFUL DODGER offers a highly desirable three-stateroom layout complemented by dedicated crew accommodations. Her interior showcases Marlow’s traditional craftsmanship, featuring rich teak joinery, teak and holly flooring, excellent storage, and exceptional attention to detail throughout.

Naiad fin stabilization works in concert with hydraulic bow and stern thrusters for composed handling and comfort underway. A complete Garmin electronics package integrates Garmin multifunction displays and Garmin radar/navigation systems, heightened by a FLIR night vision thermal camera for confident situational awareness. The open flybridge configuration complements a raised pilothouse arrangement, while a Portuguese bridge and large covered aft deck underscore her offshore capability and social versatility. Below, a three-stateroom layout plus crew showcases a full-beam master suite, a forward VIP stateroom, and a third guest stateroom with upper/lower berths, all served by a guest head with a separate shower. Premium teak interior craftsmanship and teak and holly flooring flow throughout. On deck, a hydraulic tender davit and a tender package extend the spirit of exploration, and a shallow draft Explorer hull design pairs with long-range cruising fuel capacity to broaden horizons. Exceptional engine room access simplifies maintenance and inspires confidence on every passage.

Construction

The Marlow Explorer Series is recognized worldwide for innovative construction techniques, efficient performance, and exceptional offshore ability. Its build employs advanced composite construction with Kevlar reinforcement and carbon fiber structural components, achieving outstanding strength-to-weight characteristics that deliver both agility and durability offshore. The efficient Velocijet hull design enhances excellent fuel efficiency while providing shallow draft cruising capability, opening access to skinny waters without compromising seakeeping or range.

Aft deck

The spacious, covered aft deck unfolds as a large entertaining area, inviting relaxed gatherings and seamless movement around the yacht. Wide side decks offer confident passage forward to a true Portuguese bridge, while gleaming stainless steel hardware underscores the vessel’s quality throughout.
