Marquis 500 Sport Bridge - Marquis FOR SALE

2012 Marquis 500 Sport Bridge

Driven by triple Volvo Penta IPS 600s (435 hp each) with only 705 hours, this flybridge motor yacht blends poise and power with the rare assurance of CE Category A certification in its size class, delivering confident bluewater performance when the sea turns up. The flexible three-stateroom, two-head layout with a forward-thinking galley-up arrangement maximizes space and flow, while the low-profile Sport Bridge and elegant salon create inviting zones to gather, entertain, and cruise in true luxury yacht style. Entertaining is effortless with the factory-installed cockpit grill, sink, and ice maker, complemented by a teak cockpit and swim platform, an upgraded cockpit table, Glendinning power shore cables, and a factory hydraulic swim platform that makes launching a tender or enjoying the water an elegant ritual. Recent enhancements elevate the experience further, including Raymarine multifunction displays at both upper and lower helms, Raymarine radar, a fresh Bimini top, and new batteries—each upgrade chosen to enhance reliability, safety, and ease of operation.

Conceived by Nuvolari‑Lenard of Venice—renowned for shaping some of the world’s most admired superyachts—the 500 Sport Bridge channels mega‑yacht DNA into a refined 50‑foot luxury cruiser. Every surface, joinery line, and ergonomic touchpoint reflects a meticulous design ethos and Marquis Yachts’ celebrated build quality, delivering a performance motor yacht that feels as substantial as it looks.

Command comes naturally from either the flybridge or the fully equipped salon helm, where the trio of Volvo diesels spin IPS pod drives for thrilling acceleration, superb low‑speed torque, and precise joystick maneuverability. Dockside or in a tight marina, the IPS pod‑drive system makes close‑quarters handling intuitive, while underway it’s quieter and more efficient than traditional shaft propulsion, rewarding the helmsman with a smooth, composed ride and an exhilarating top end worthy of a true sport cruiser.

Outdoor living is central to the 500’s character. The streamlined bridge invites sun and sea breeze, offering generous, contoured seating, while the triple‑wide foredeck lounge delivers a private retreat for sunning. A spacious sun pad aft of the bridge adds yet another place to unwind, underscoring the yacht’s credentials as an express flybridge cruiser crafted for long, relaxed days on the water.

With the aft bulkhead doors open, the galley, salon, cockpit, and swim platform merge onto a single, social plane that functions like a waterside terrace. At the touch of a button, the transom slides aft to expand the cockpit, transforming the area for lounging or hosting. Inside, the yacht‑finish woodwork—handcrafted from select exotic hardwoods—sets a refined tone, pairing warmth with contemporary elegance and reinforcing the premium feel expected of a high‑end motor yacht.

The Marquis name carries hard‑earned prestige among seasoned yachtsmen, and this 500 Sport Bridge exemplifies why. It’s an express cruiser and sport bridge yacht for an owner who values world‑class styling, superior construction, and bluewater capability, all wrapped in a luxurious, modern package that turns every passage into a memorable occasion.
