Marlow Explorer 97E Command Bridge

Marlow Explorer 97E Command Bridge

The only vessel in her class with SEVEN Staterooms and on deck Master Suite.

“Irish Rover” is an exceptional long-range cruiser designed to cross oceans and cruise the islands in luxury, comfort and complete dependably. Nonetheless, she is also the perfect weekender for a quick get-away or to entertain family and friends.

This 97\' Marlow Yacht actually stretches to 101 feet and is constructed to the rigorous stands of ABS and Lloyd’s Register Ocean Class A. Similar to other Marlow Yachts, Irish Rover was built without wood framing or stringers and her hull was designed around the unique Marlow Veloci Strut Keel, which is credited to enhancing stability and performance. Twin keels on each side of the center line protect the propellers and act as stabilizers to minimize the rolling motion, and the Naiad stabilizers and a Sea-Keeper gryo stabilizer all collectively provide a rock-solid ride.

Another unique attribute to the Irish Rover is Marlow’s innovation in the use of Full Stack Infusion, which won international awards for providing a sleek hull design that offers exceptional fuel mileage. Her top speed is approximately 27 knots at 2300 rpm with a comfortable cruising speed of approximately 20 knots at 1900 rpm, and a range of approximately 4,000 nautical miles at 9 knots. She is powered by Twin 1800hp Caterpillar C-32 engines with only 758 operational hours, in addition to two Onan 32kw generators, which includes a custom sound box. A full complement of Raymarine Electronics will direct you to any local or foreign port of call.

Irish Rover could be considered a floating luxury hotel, offering a magnificent master suite, an in-suite head with bidet; gorgeous hand carved white marble tub and a stunning granite floor. Six additional staterooms offer plush accommodations for guests including a VIP suite, which rivals a master suite on other comparable yachts of this size. Additional roomy crew’s quarters with its own mini galley provides added privacy for both owner and crew.

From the sun deck with its own galley including a barbeque grill, to the fabulous accommodations that include everything imaginable for creature comforts and convenience; 7 staterooms, eight heads, a huge hydraulic swim platform, a hydraulic transom garage style door for easy access to equipment storage, crews quarters and engine room, this Marlow is one elegant lady, unsurpassed in convenience and luxury.

The main deck offers a formal dining area to accommodate Eight, separated from the main salon by a pillared divider that contains a large pop-up television.  The galley enjoys its own doorway to the side deck to make provisioning a breeze. The upper deck sky-lounge and command bridge are well arranged with plenty of space, a comfortable corner settee with table, and a day head.  Just outside the sundeck is equipped with an outdoor galley, complete with three stools, and a built-in BBQ, and a Jacuzzi spa. In all this Explorer Yacht has 4 microwaves, 2 stove tops, 2 outdoor country kitchens, and 2 grills (1 gas, 1 electric).

The master suite is conveniently located forward on the main deck, offering owners a wonderful panoramic view. The master head offers an incredible hand-carved white marble tub, his and hers hand-carved sink basins, and a simply stunning black Shanxi granite floor.

Guests are also well accommodated on the lower deck with six staterooms offering a variety of space, including a very large suite that would rival the master on most yachts of this size. Forward is a second VIP suite in addition to two mirrored staterooms, and two cabins with double berths that are perfect for kids. A mini-galley located in the lower foyer is convenient for guests staying aboard to feel at home.  The private crew’s quarters, located aft of the engines, are also well situated with their own mini-galley.

 There is an alarm system through out the boat. The Forward section of the vessel has a water tight bulkhead and door. There is  Central Vacuum System through out the yacht as well. And as with all Marlows, there are no laminate materials used, only quality woods, this one has Bermanese Teak and Holly and Bamboo.
