The Marten 72 was designed for the performance-orientated owner wishing to combine the exhilaration of a racing yacht with the ability to make fast, comfortable blue water passaged.  The yacht was designed first and foremost to be a top performer at regattas utilizing the very latest construction materials and techniques from Grand Prix classes such as America’s Cup and the Volvo Ocean Race.  

By combining the talents of Reichel/Pugh and the SP Technologies engineers, with the experience of Marten Yachts, the result is a yacht with outstanding pedigree possessing race-bred performance qualities with a spacious and functional layout.  Ready for fast, comfortable short-handed cruising or regatta victory.
