Originally named “REBEL YELL”, she made her impressive debut at the 2006 Miami International Boat Show. This yacht was designed and cruised by Mr. Marlow which has allowed her to have lived a very privileged life that included several long-range trips up the eastern sea board and “down island”. When not at sea, this vessel enjoyed a pampered life in a covered storage shed at the Marlow Marine Service facility in Snead Island, Florida, where she was lovingly cared for as Mr. Marlow’s LONG RANGE Explorer. Now is your chance to continue the pride of ownership of this beautiful masterpiece as she is available for sale with numerous cruising lifestyle upgrades, comfort and convenience upgrades, and many recent service items completed. GRATITUDE” was built and certified to Lloyds GMBH for Offshore Class One (Ocean Class) and is ready to provide her new owner with a quality long range cruising yacht second to none. This Command Bridge yacht is powered with C-18 CATs with 1,015 HP each. This Marlow Explorer includes numerous serious upgrades when it comes to the Long-Range ability of a yacht. Some of these key "LR" features include a wave-piercing bulbous bow, Kevlar lined hull, deck tie downs, custom air intakes for the engine-room and extra-long-range fuel capacity. The large amount of fuel capacity (3450 gal) enables comfortable long-range voyages of over 3,000 miles at 9.5 knots due to her modified hull design that is focused on better efficiency and performance at hull speeds and the proprietary Velocijet Strut Keels while also giving her the ability to "get there" at speeds of 16-18 knots for fast passages or emergency situations. “GRATITUDE” is the bench mark in go anywhere yachting due to her hull design that allows for long range cruising with excellent cruising speed options. Just like every Marlow yacht built, “GRATITUDE” exemplifies the epitome of style, performance and state of the art construction methods used on Marlow Explorers. Marlow yachts are engineered and built with the highest quality materials available today and to the highest of industry standards at our awardwinning factory where hundreds of employees skillfully build works of art without equal.   This very special Marlow Explorer 72E-LR “GRATITUDE” is a beautiful yacht specifically designed by David Marlow for LONG RANGE cruising. She is a very unique and custom yacht that offers the ability to cruise at 18 knots for over 700 nautical miles, easily reaching Bermuda from the Eastern Seaboard on a plane in less than two days or she could run slow and travel over 3,000 nautical miles at 9.5 knots! Her hull incorporates a wave-piercing bow which reduces pitching and extends the waterline length, thereby improving overall efficiency. The current owner has significantly upgraded the swim by adding a 8’ hydraulic swim platform that can easily launch the tender and serve as large watersports staging area. Or if you so desire it can also double as a partially or fully submerged beach front oasis for in water lounging. This added flexibility makes for much easier water access for those unable to use a traditional swim ladder. The upper deck area has also been upgraded with a large shade canopy that allows for full upper aft deck shaded lounging that will be greatly appreciated on a hot summer day. This exquisite vessel is a must see for anyone looking to do long range cruising!
