Marex 440, Show Debut at the Southampton International Boat Show

The Marex 440 Gourmet Cruiser is the winner of the European Powerboat of the Year 2024 (Powerboats up to 14m category), and the Motor Boat Award in the 'Sportscruisers up to 45ft' class.

Known for its robust performance, the Marex 440 is now enjoying its show debut at the UK's largest marine event, the 2024 Southampton International Boat Show.

The award winning Marex 440 boat is setting a new benchmark for cruisers with its sleek design, practical onboard features, and cutting-edge innovations. With a strong emphasis on ergonomics, safety, and comfort, Marex Boats has built this cruiser for families looking for a relaxed and safe experience on the water.

The boat's elongated side portholes, high cockpit bulwarks, expansive glazing, and rounded aft lines all contribute to its refined and modern appearance. Available in two distinct versions, the 440 caters to different tastes and needs of yacht buyers in the market for a boat for sale

The Scandinavian version offers a closed salon with a door and an additional seating area for socializing indoors. For those who enjoy cooking and entertaining onboard, the Gourmet Cruiser version stands out with its double-sized kitchen and bar module. You can customize this area with chairs or a sofa, depending on your preference, while a sliding door with a retractable window enhances the indoor-outdoor flow.

One of the standout features of the new Marex 440 is its dual side doors. Combined with the sunroof and sliding doors, they provide an immersive "wind-in-your-hair" experience while underway. A forward-facing sofa opposite the helm gives passengers a great view, and the foldable table with integrated sockets even doubles as a convenient office space.
