February 8, 2010 SNEAD ISLAND, FLORIDA ● At first glance, the eye will view a center console open fisherman. However, upon further examination, many unique features not found on a typical center console are seen. A very large head with shower, natural lighting and ventilation with over six feet of headroom provides comfort aboard. The level of comfort continues with a cuddy cabin equipped with large vee berths, storage lockers, and berths for two children, lots of natural light and ventilation. Traveling from Key West to Havana, several times, is not an issue due to the large fuel tanks and liquid capacities. With a draft of just over 2’ with twin diesels, all waterways including Bay, Gulf and Ocean is within reach for your fishing excursion. The fully equipped aft cockpit area features twin 200 quart built-in fish boxes, live well with pump and expansive tackle storage. The flush transom door allows ease of hauling your fish aboard. The beautiful hand crafted teak cockpit sole provides nature’s best non skid and lasting beauty.

The Havana model joins the Marlow Prowler Open and Classic series. All are Full Stack© infused and are built alongside our world class Marlow Explorer and Marlow Voyager yachts in our environmentally green factory in Xiamen, China.

August 21, 2008 SNEAD ISLAND, FLORIDA • Marlow Yachts Limited, Inc. Hosts Explorer Owners Weekend Getaway on Nantucket Island • Over 65 Marlow yacht owners and their families converged on Nantucket Island for a three day weekend getaway. Owners arrived at the Nantucket Boat Basin aboard their Marlow Explorer or Marlow Prowler to their pre-assigned reserved dockage, or via ferry or plane. Upon arrival, they were greeted at the Marlow Welcome Center on the dock and later, a Welcome Cocktail Party complete with full bar and lavish hors d’oeuvres, was hosted on the dock amid all the Explorers .

Thunder Prowler 375 ClassicOne yacht, hull number 72-18 arrived after an 1800 mile offshore non-stop voyage from Tampa Bay Florida. Arriving with enough fuel on board to continue onward to Nova Scotia and to the Bay of Fundy without refueling, REBEL YELL continued onward for over 400 additional miles when the event was completed, arriving with more than 1000 gallons of usable fuel still aboard despite not refueling since Tampa Bay. Using Gulf Stream currents for a small boost in speed, REBEL YELL averaged 9.6 knots over the bottom, dock to dock, passing west of Bermuda at approximately 300 miles distant and then direct to Wasque Channel and Nantucket Sound. The voyage was completed without a single adjustment or repair in 169 hours, slightly over seven days.

Numerous planned events created a close camaraderie within the group. Events included a full menu breakfast of their choice at a well known restaurant and a historical bus tour aboard our own reserved air conditioned bus. Some of the sites included The Old Mill, which is the oldest American windmill still in operation, the hundreds of acres of cranberry bogs, lighthouses, and the shipwreck and life-saving museum.

Saturday evening guests were treated to an outdoor cocktail party overlooking Nantucket Harbor followed by a Nantucket lobster bake. Special favors and gifts were presented to the owners.

To bid farewell, our group once again gathered on the docks for a scrumptious continental breakfast consisting of freshly made baked goods, fruit, coffee and juice. Prowler owners headed out to Long Island, Marlow owners to Virginia, Maine, Massachusetts, New York and Florida.

This is the second weekend getaway that Marlow Yachts Limited has sponsored, the first one being held at the Renaissance Vinoy in December 2007. These getaways enhance the ownership of these yachts by allowing owners to get together in a relaxed environment to swap cruising stories and share their love affair of their yachts. It also allows us to inspect our yachts first hand after undertaking hundreds of cruising miles.

Marlow Yachts thanks all its adventuresome owners who are currently voyaging as far South as the Upper Amazon  River and north to Labrador

November 2007 • Tenders & Toys • Runabout: Marlow Yachts • True Beauty Is the Sum of Many Parts • Beauty is more than skin deep with the Marlow Prowler Open 375. That's not to downplay her good looks- this vessel with pretty lines and a saucy reverse transom turns heads wherever she goes. But her true beauty lies in her high-tech construction, rough-water performance and in what her builder calls her "piano-quality" finish.
The 375 is offered with inboard or outboard power. In the diesel inboard version, the cockpit floor rises on electro-hydraulic rams for total engine access. The outboard version provides breathtaking performance with two or three 250-hp E-Tec Evinrudes. The builder lists an estimated 52-mph top speed with triple installation. No matter which power option is selected, the Prowler Open 375 is designed to provide a smooth ride in offshore conditions.

March 2007 •Motorboating • Prowler 375 Open •"Whoever thinks beauty is only skin deep hasn't seen Marlow's newest Prowler - the 375 Open.  From its bow chocks down to its hose brackets in the bilge, this boat is pure eye candy.  It's one of the prettiest boats I've ever seen and its parts are as impressive as their sum."   John Clemans, Senior Editor

June 2006 • Power & Motoryacht Exclusive •  Prowler 375 Open • "It's not just the details that put the 375 Open in a league of her own.  Her non-skid, a deep cream with white borders, complements her tan Ultraleather coaming padding, the white 52 gallon livewell/fish prep station at her transom, a pair of white Stidd chairs at her helm, and an Ultraleather L-shape settee just forward of the helm.  Simply put, she's gorgeous."  Jeffrey Moser, Senior Editor

Boat Digest Cover September 2005 • Boat Digest •  The Prowler 375 was featured on the cover and tested by Editor in Chief, George Sass, Jr.   Mr. Sass writes:  “The 375 reflects Marlow’s own background and sensibilities. The design result is a sweet little package that pulled glances from curious boaters as we meandered down Key Biscayne for our sea trial. And how does the Prowler perform? Like her namesake suggest, the 375 purrs along easily in the low 30 knot range and we hit a top speed of 36 knots. The handling was precise and responsive and she sliced through the water casting the chop aside.”

December 2005 •Motorboating • Cat Walk The Marlow Prowler is special on the outside and the inside • Jay Coyle tested this yacht and proclaims Grace under power: The Prowler's ride is as pleasant as her styling. She lifted to plane easily and reached a top speed of 34.3 knots in 20 seconds. This is truly a unique yacht design. A boat that is the vivid and passionate dream of an individual, not a clever product shaped by a focus group, is rare. When I spoke to David Marlow about his new creation, the Prowler, I had the sense that he really doesn't care how many he sells. For him this project was a labor of love that brought him full circle in a lifetime on the water.

June 2005 • Southern Boating • In the new boat section of this issue, Southern Boating writes: “Marlow Explorer yacht owners are a special breed. They're used to state-of-the-art hull construction, exotic woods and very personalized interiors. So when it comes time to acquire a day cruiser, these people aren't readily satisfied with standard production boats. The dilemma of "what to do when one doesn't want to take a 78'Explorer out for a day of cruising local waters" has been answered in the form of the Marlow Prowler Yachts, a brand new series of express cruisers. More than just a mini-Explorer, it combines the elegance of a classic picnic yacht with state-of-the-art design and handling. ”Bill Lindsey, Editor In Chief

June 2005 • Power & Motoryacht Magazine • This edition featured the Prowler by Marlow Yachts on the cover and in an exclusive story by Capt. Bill Pike, You Can Go Home Again. Power & Motoryacht tested the Prowler 375  yacht in Tampa Bay in two to four foot seas and then proceeded to the west coast fishing village of Cortez for a glimpse into the past - where the idea for the Prowler took shape.

“Close-quarters handling (away from the dock) was easy; the boat's low profile cut windage and there was enough bite in the props to pivot the boat efficaciously. Handling offshore was fun... Top speed in two-to four-foot seas was 40.6mph...Turning was sporty, and Panther tracked like she was sent for.”

Capt. Bill Pike
