Marquis Yachts Is Floating Upwardly!

Luxury Yachts: Marquis Yacht is a U.S. based firm that is definitely on the rise. With each release, beginning with the Carver 59 Marquis, the company is diligently establishing its niche for launching innovative, Italian-inspired-designed yachts. The 59 features twin 660 horsepower Cummins QSM11 diesel inboards, with the option to upgrade to twin 825 horsepower MTU Series 60 diesel inboards. The ship's overall length is nearly 60 feet with platform and a waterline length that exceeds 45 feet. Standard features include a hydraulic swim platform and fore and aft shore-power ties. The interior features a Sub-Zero® refrigerator and freezer, a 32-inch Sony® plasma TV and a 110-volt stereo and Surround Sound® system. Granite countertops and soles are also standard. The ship sleeps up to eight occupants and has seven-foot cabin headroom. The base price of the 59 is $1,295,000, but an additional $300,000 of upgrades is available.

The buzz about the docks is that the Carver 65 Marquis is akin to the 59, but its added length provides a more aesthetic symmetry to her proportions. Both yachts have the trademarked styling of the Nuvolari and Leonard. The 65's price tag floats in at around $2.25 million.

Marquis Yachts is expected to make a big splash at the Palm Beach Boat Show in West Palm Beach, Florida. The show runs from March 23-26. Both the Carver 65 Marquis and the Carver 59 Marquis will be displayed. More details on Marquis Yachts and the Palm Beach Boat Show are available at www.marquisyachts.com.
