Built by the acclaimed Norwegian shipyard Marex Boats, the Marex 440 emerges as their new flagship model, showcasing the brand's commitment to excellence in family boating.
Marex has a rich history dating back to 1973, establishing itself as a family-owned shipyard with a focus on creating high-quality family cabin cruisers. The shipyard's philosophy revolves around maintaining control over each stage of production, ensuring every model upholds the highest standards of quality, practicality, and technology.
This dedication has earned Marex Boats multiple accolades, including the European Motorboat of the Year and the European Powerboat of the Year awards.
The Marex 440, in particular, is a testament to the shipyard's innovative spirit. Designed in collaboration with the Slovenian studio VOM Creations Yacht Design and with naval architecture by Nikl Design and engineering by Alpha Creations, the yacht presents a modern aesthetic without compromising on the shipyard's DNA.
With a length of 13.7m (45ft) and a maximum beam of 4.2m (14ft), the Norwegian shipyard continues implementing innovative, practical onboard solutions, focusing on ergonomics, and comfort, this resulting in the 440 being nominated for the European Boat of the Year 2024 in the 'up to 14m' category.
The Marex 440 is available in two distinct modifications: the 440 Gourmet Cruiser and the 440 Scandinavia. The Gourmet Cruiser version boasts an immense U-shaped kitchen layout, often described as a chef's dream, with top-of-the-line appliances and ample storage for provisions.
The Scandinavian version, on the other hand, features an additional dining area in the enclosed salon, catering to those who prioritize indoor socializing.
One of the standout features of the Marex 440 is its cockpit design, which fosters a relaxed social atmosphere. The large U-shaped sofa, convertible table for up to eight guests, and bar counter seamlessly connect the salon and cockpit, creating an open and inviting space. When the table is folded out, and using the second sofa, it is possible to accommodate up to 12 people around the table, this being an extremely attractive proposition for larger groups.
The yacht's canopy solution is another marvel, offering the fastest way to close the open cockpit deck allowing for quick adaptation to changing weather conditions. This market-leading design means the yacht can be converted from an open cruiser to a closed boat in less than 60 seconds.
Below deck, the Marex 440 Gourmet Cruiser offers two or three-cabin layouts, providing flexibility for family and guests. The cabins are thoughtfully designed with ample storage, en-suite bathrooms, and large windows that invite natural light. The yacht's careful attention to detail is evident in every aspect, from the comfortable helm and co-pilot seating to the practicality of the foredeck and swim platform, complete with a hydraulically operated platform and integrated davits system.
When it comes to propulsion and technology, the Marex 440 doesn't disappoint. Owners can choose between various Volvo Penta engine options, ensuring powerful and efficient performance. The yacht is also equipped with advanced technology features, including gyroscopic stabilizers and solar panels, enhancing both comfort and sustainability.
For those in the market for a luxury yacht for sale, the Marex 440 Gourmet Cruiser offers a compelling choice. Its combination of contemporary design, family-friendly features, and top-tier multiple award-winning craftsmanship makes it an attractive option for both new and used yacht buyers
As Marex Boats continues to innovate and lead in the industry, the Marex 440 stands as a shining example of what is possible when passion meets precision in yacht building. Whether for extended family holidays or entertaining friends on the water, the Marex 440 promises to deliver an unforgettable yachting experience.
