This 78-foot Marlow Explorer was built with an extensive list of custom options throughout. Twin Caterpillar C-32 diesel engines producing 1800 hp each drive the composite fiberglass hull efficiently across extended passages. The yacht achieves 21 knots at moderate cruise speed and can exceed 20 knots in faster running modes, while economical operation allows roughly 3000 nautical miles per tank at 8 knots.
The Explorer's design includes protected keels and a draft under five feet, opening access to shallow-water cruising grounds and the Bahamas. Many owners of this model prefer operating at either 9 knots for fuel efficiency or 19 knots for faster transit, with cruising speed ranging from 22 to 24 knots depending on load.
The yacht has been maintained by professional captains and remains in sound condition throughout.
