The 53E Marlow Explorer is one of the few yachts in the world built by a manufacturer who has taken the time to fully optimize her basic hull design. Most yachts built today are very similar to each other and their predecessors built over the past 30 years. This Marlow Explorer is finished with a beautiful Kingston Gray painted hull and Toreador Red boot stripe for an unmistakable presence on the water. Once aboard you will notice the superb finish found on every Marlow Explorer as you look from stem to stern. The Full Stack Infusion process David Marlow invented, developed and executed produces a textbook fiber to resin ratio that can NEVER be approached by hand lamination. There are no seams from the transom to the bow, including the Portuguese bridge due to the three main molds of hull, deck and house that gives the yacht unimaginable strength in heavy seas. The raised pilothouse, Portuguese bridge, wide side decks, and state of the art semi-displacement hull makes this Marlow Explorer one of the most comfortable and safest yachts in heavy seas. The side decks are fully protected by fiberglass bulwarks topped with varnished teak cap rails and 316L stainless steel handrails that are waist high aft and even higher forward. The stainless-steel anchor is set up with all chain on the dual gypsy windlass. The bow rail is hardy oval shaped 316L stainless-steel package. When you see a Marlow Explorer hauled out of the water and on land, you notice very quickly that the yacht is blocked at the bow just like every other boat, but at the stern she rests on her Twin Velocijet Strut keels. The propellers are protected 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 well these strut keels make the Marlow Explorer handle in a following sea. It’s simply unbelievable! The lateral resistance provided by the Twin Velocijet Strut keels makes the boat track straight as an arrow with little rudder correction even in a following sea.

When you enter the salon from the aft deck you feel the spaciousness of the vessel's 17'3"beam. This beautifully designed salon has a gorgeous area with stunning panoramic window views throughout the salon and on through the galley. The tinted windows and teak blinds allow just the right amount of light into your vessel. On balmy and sun filled days you can capture organic ventilation from the aft salon door as it can be easily unlatched and slid open to create a large 5' wide opening. This is where you can feel the pleasant breeze as well as see many beautiful waterways and enjoy a romantic alfresco dining experience on the aft deck if desired. The salon has (2) elegantly designed Ultraleather settees which are strategically placed and counter balanced, one on each side, with the wrap around L-shaped settee to starboard for generous seating when entertaining.  Aft and to Starboard of the salon there is a large flat screen TV in a custom cabinet with a desk underneath. This is the perfect at anchor set up! There is a beautiful teak table with Compass Rose inlay in front of the Starboard settee with two magazine racks on either side. Just aft of the 3 stairs leading to the galley is a Uline Icemaker. The overhead teak valance on the starboard side has 3 sets of slots that diffuse the air-conditioning through the entire salon.

Moving forward you will find the pilothouse just three steps up from the salon and includes thelower helm station, dinette, and galley. There are port and starboard exterior doors that lock open or closed, a staircase forward to starboard descends down to the three staterooms and a staircase on the port side aft ascends up to the flybridge. The galley is very well equipped with top of the line appliances and plenty of refrigeration, freezer space and ample storage that provides room for weeks’ worth of food and supplies while extended cruising offshore or down island cruising. The spacious dining and entertaining area to the forward port side of the pilot house provides for ample lounging, dining, or entertaining while underway or dockside.
