Yachting previously wrote: “There are a lot of decent boats built in Taiwan these days, but the 70 Marlow Explorer is different. She has the very special feel of a boat built without compromise.
That attitude, combined with David Marlow’s personal history, tells you a lot about this yacht. Marlow is the son of a commercial fisherman, was building boats before he could shave and went to sea before he could drive. After six years of service aboard commercial ships, he made landfall. Through hard work and a bit of luck, he earned a solid reputation and success in yacht sales. He spared no expense in creating the 70, yet not a cent was invested in her thoughtlessly. Her outfitting and finish are exceptional, yet her price is a bargain in her class.”
