Vessel Walkthrough
Starting from the swim platform and teak concealed swim ladder, there’s a watertight transom door to the custom crew quarters, lazarette and engine room with molded in stairs up either side through transom doors to the aft deck. Miss Stephanys teak aft deck sole has built-in seating along the transom and varnished flip-out teak table, along with a floor hatch providing alternate access to the crew quarters, lazarette and engine room. A teak-tread stair to port leads to the aft flybridge deck. Underneath the bridge stair case is the pop-out stern docking station, with Glendenning electronic engine gear control and thruster controls. Generous wide teak covered side decks provide access to the foredeck and make line handling to either side easy for single-or short-crewed docking. There are boarding gates to either side, and elegant teak bulwark caps with polished stainless rails running along the entire vessel. The foredeck includes centerline and bow area teak flooring, upgraded twin anchors with windlass, and 400 feet of chain for each anchor. She has an upgraded Marquipt Bow ladder boarding location, for multiple easy boarding options wherever you may travel. A closed Portuguese bridge protects the side decks while in a seaway and offers generous storage lockers. Entering the salon via wide double doors from the aft deck. The salon is cavernous, with massive U-shaped built-in ultra-leather sofa to starboard and pop TV and barrel chairs to port. Extra abundant storage is available beneath the sofa, which is hinged and supported by gas pistons. The salon has classic teak and holly soles, covered by protective custom made carpets. The salon offers the legendary teak built-ins and the joinery work that is second to none. Opposing the sofa is an elegant burl-wood high-lo coffee table with glass top and storage underneath. Forward salon area includes a granite counter with storage underneath, two stools and elegant display cabinet forward. To port is another teak burl topped console cabinet with wine fridge, hidden sink, and hidden drawer dishwasher. On the port, up three steps is the highly used country-kitchen galley and main pilothouse, where all the fun begins for the day. The Gourmet galley includes state-of-the art appliances - oven and cooktop, microwave, sink, a second dishwasher drawer, garbage disposal, trash compactor and 6 refrigerator/freezer drawers, along with abundant cabinetry and upgraded granite countertops. The pilothouse includes two Stidd Captain Chairs, classic teak and ebony wrapped destroyer style wheel, state-of-the art glass Garmin panel, and generous settee seating and burl-wood table with glass top. From the pilothouse and galley, one can either walk up the convenient safe inside stairs to port to the flybridge, exit the low profile watertight doors to either side deck or go down the curved staircase to starboard to enter the accommodations level. The curved stair down to the accommodations level lands at an elegant companionway with teak and holly sole. There you will find the vessel’s stacked washer and dryer units concealed by louvered teak doors. Forward is the VIP ensuite guest cabin with centerline queen bed on built-in teak island berth with storage underneath. The VIP ensuite cabin offers two hanging lockers, plenty of storage and en-suite bath with sink, head, and shower. The VIP bath is accessed by either a door in companionway or inside suite so that it can also function as a day-head. The VIP ensuite is outfitted with a new apple-compatible flat screen HD TV. To port is the mid-stateroom with hanging locker and twin stacked crisscross bunk beds that are spacious and very comfortable for anyone. This stateroom also offers an en-suite bath with sink, toilet, and shower. Aft, amid ship, is the massive full-beam master ensuite. This ensuite includes king bed on teak built-in island berth with storage underneath. There are four hanging lockers and abundant built-in drawers, and his and her built-in teak night tables. Entered from either port or starboard are the his and hers baths, offering separate and private toilets and sinks separated by a central shower. The master stateroom offers a lady’s vanity table with mirror and swing-out seat.Another luxury trade mark layout for Marlow owners.  The flybridge is spacious offering twin settees, with abundant storage underneath, and teak tables, one outdoors and one under the hard roof. The bridge has a centerline helm station, with Garmin package and polished stainless-steel destroyer wheel. To port is a classic teak chart drawer. There is a four-sided enclosure offering protection from the elements. To starboard is a concealed sink, U-line fridge, and Gaggenau electric grill. Forward of the helm is lounge deck with cushion. The spacious aft deck can house the (Not Included with the sale)14-foot tender with 60 HP Yamaha on custom removable stainless-steel chock system, which is off-loaded by the 1600 lb. davit. When the tender is in the water, the spacious aft deck accommodates two teak steamer lounges with custom cushions and teak snack table. A fold away stainless ladder offers access to the flybridge roof.
