When entering this fine vessel, you will notice the classic teak interior built with a single, hand selected, highest quality, Burmese Teak tree ensuring that each grain is identically matched throughout the vessel! This Marlow yacht is built with satin finish teak which graces the interior while adding luscious high gloss teak and holly floors on all decks.

The 5 staterooms will accommodate (8) persons easily.

Salon

Upon boarding this fine 82' 10" LOA Marlow Explorer yacht, you will easily be captured by her sophistication and elegance as you walk through the generously appointed living area. The layout is designed with the salon luxuriating 8mm total premium grade windows. We buy the best tempered glass from England in 6 mm thickness and then laminate two additional thicknesses with another 3M-hurricane film sandwich. This produces a glass about 13mm thick with enormous strength, combining the strength of double tempered plus the resilience and strength of laminated. Typical yacht windows are 4-5 mm for a coastal and inland boat, 6mm for most production yachts and 8 for heavy-duty yachts. Only when the sizes approach 100 feet do you begin to find 10-12 mm glass and most times only on serious offshore yachts. These premium tempered glass panes (4 port side and 4 starboard side) are 13" thick beaming through with the natural sunlight and relaxing ambiance of ocean going sailing with in this luxurious salon. When stepping through the solid double entry doors, made of highest quality composite, into the aft deck salon, you will feel how sturdy and strong they are.  When closing them, they sound similar to a bank vault closing. Even the sounds of anything outside, such as unwanted noise will disappear as you close them behind you.
