The Marlow Explorer is one of the most well known examples of an open ocean cruising vessel and “The Garlic” is a classic boat that is mechanically sound and ready for cruising. She has relatively low hours compared to her competitors and she is priced more attractively than anything else on the market.
“The Garlic” has done multiple trips to the Bahamas and has been regularly in use until the owners’ needs for a larger vessel. They have now purchased a larger Marlow, making the 70E available to any Owner/Operator or owner with crew to take over and continue enjoying at will.
“The Garlic” is a beautiful boat that will benefit from some cosmetic improvement in line with the taste of her new owner and anything needed is more than compensated for in the pricing which is by far the lowest on the market.
This Marlow is recognized for her stunning profile and traditional lines, a seaworthy boat designed for long range, open ocean excursions but capable of speed when needed.
The Flag blue Awlgrip finished hull is a desired color, while best-in-class technologies are employed in the yacht\'s overall construction. The composite structure of Dupont Kevlar, vinylester resins, core-cell foam and engineered fabrics are vacuum bagged and built in only three major molds to eliminate unsightly joint areas and achieve superior strength that withstands the punishment of rough seas and floating objects.
Designed and patented Velocijet Strut Keels delivers outstanding performance that tracks reliability through the toughest seas. The core - cell foam construction provides unparalleled strength and provides excellent sound and thermal insulation.
