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 natures 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.

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 doeuvres, was hosted on the dock
amid all the Explorers .
One
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.

Marlow Yachts Miami Intl Boat Show Debut Party Marlow Yachts Limited, Inc.,
hosted their annual Miami International Boat Show Debut Party on the evening
prior to the shows opening at the historic Miami Beach Rod and Reel Club
located on Hibiscus Island. The celebration commemorated not only the debut of
the new Marlow Explorer 86 Cockpit Motor Yacht, but the remarkable achievement
of their 100th hull launch as well. Set against the elegant backdrop of Biscayne
Bay and the classic Venetian architecture of the exclusive enclave, over 120
guests, media and dealership representatives from around the world gathered to
celebrate this extraordinary achievement. The brilliant hues of sunset provided
additional ambience and caused one guest, a well-known member of the media
community, to remark that the event was the hottest spot in town.
Guests attending the reception were served an assortment of hors doeuvres made
from organically certified ingredients, supporting the companys ongoing
commitment to protecting and preserving the environment. Local artist Peter
Batan entertained the group with a soft jazz sound.
We are gratified to see our new products so well received and excited that our
latest launch represents the 100th Marlow Explorer currently cruising the oceans
of the world, said David Marlow, Chairman of Marlow Yachts Ltd. Our goal is,
and has always been, to offer our customers the finest quality and the most
advanced technological yacht available in the yachting world and our new
flagship 86 CMY represents just that.

the Marlow Explorer 57E Command Bridge and the Marlow Prowler 375 Classic,
powered with the new Evinrude 300HP E-Tec outboards in triplicate. This nimble

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.

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,

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

2006 Southern Boating Who's that
lady on the cover? Prowler, that's who! The Prowler 375 Open is
featured in the Southern Boating Swimsuit Edition and she's hot!
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
