Marex 360 Cabriolet Cruiser Review (2019 Edition) by Aquaholic

On Deck

Nick appreciates the Marex 360 Cabriolet Cruiser's exterior finishings, noting the robust side decks that facilitate easy movement around the boat.

There is a large bathing platform with storage under a handy bench at the water level.

The foredeck is spacious and flat, ideal for sunbathing and relaxation, equipped with comfortable sun pads. He admires the sleek design accentuated by the curved windscreen and the stainless steel trim that frames the windows, giving the yacht an elegant and modern look.

Inside, the yacht's aft cockpit is outfitted with high-quality Alcantara material featuring diamond stitching on the seating, which Nick finds both luxurious and comfortable. This area can be enclosed or open aft and also features a swivel table.

The adjacent galley is fully functional with gas cooking facilities, a hob, sink, and gas cooker underneath, along with copious storage, a large fridge, and a freezer compartment. Nick highlights the smart use of space, such as the adjustable work surface that changes the kitchen from a galley to U-shaped.

At the helm, Nick is pleased with the comfortable "armchair" seating with more Alcantara and diamond stitching.  The helm is well-appointed and made with a material which provides a non-reflective surface to reduce glare. Featuring all necessary controls with Raymarine MFDs and offers excellent visibility, making it both functional and enjoyable for the captain.

Alongside the helm is a forward-facing seating area and the hardtop above can be pulled back for open-air boating.

Owner's Cabin

The owner's cabin, located on the lower deck, impresses with its spaciousness and headroom. It features large windows that allow for ample natural light, along with a full-width double bed that ensures a comfortable and inviting sleeping area.

Guest Accommodation

The forward cabin offers guest accommodations with an oversized bed that could potentially sleep three people (if you were really good friends!). It includes windows for additional light and ventilation and a hatch that provides another exit point and further air circulation.

The Marex 360 Cabriolet Cruiser's power is provided by twin Volvo Penta D4-300 engines, which deliver top speeds of around 35-36 knots and a cruising range of 200-250 nautical miles at planing speeds. There is the option of a single 440 horsepower D6 engine for those prioritizing economy while still maintaining performance over 30 knots.

Nick's tour of the Marex 360 Cabriolet Cruiser reflects his admiration for the yacht's clever design and practical features. He is particularly taken by the convertible nature of the boat, allowing for quick transformation from an enclosed space to open boating with minimal effort.

The yacht's interior is stylishly finished with attention to detail and luxury in mind. The exterior is equally impressive with its modern design and functionality. 

Overall, Nick views the Marex 360 as an intelligently configured vessel that maximizes the use of space and offers a luxurious boating experience for a yacht under 40-feet.
