PRICE REDUCTION! Blue Gill was built for an experienced yachtsman that has taken great care of her since delivery in 2006. She has been stored at Marlow Marine each summer where all annual maintenance was performed. Blue Gill can take you 1200 miles at displacement speeds or will cover 170 miles in 10 hours. Imagine having a yacht that will let you cruise where and whenever you want. Now think of an exceptional yacht that allows 360 degree views as you sit perched atop the Stidd helm chair on the flying bridge, with plenty of seating for family and friends. The Marlow Explorer 53C “Blue Gill” is just that yacht, classically designed and built to the highest standards in the industry. Built as are all Marlow Explorers with high tech construction methods and the most modern composite materials available, utilizing their patented RIVAT, full stack resin infusion. The efforts made in designing a yacht of this caliber require a company willing to stand behind their saying, Only the Best Will Do.   Due to the distinctive high gloss dark blue hull, the reflection of the yacht is seen while even at rest. The transom, with starboard transom doors gives great access to the large teak swim platform. Upon boarding this classic beauty, the twin salon doors can open to allow a clear view of the morning sun. The high gloss teak & holly floors in the salon are just the beginning of the quality of fit and finish you will see aboard all Marlow Explorer Yachts. This yacht was built with a starboard side built in sofa finished in deep blue ultra leather fabric. Forward in the salon is a large flat panel TV that has storage cabinets below and adjacent to the TV is a cabinet with beveled glass doors. To port are two barrel style occasional chairs. Up a couple steps to the pilothouse, galley and large L-shaped dinette seating with matching Stidd Helm chair as well. In this area is the galley with subzero ref/freezers, under counter microwave/convection oven surrounded by a beautiful granite countertop. The Stidd Helm chair gives the captain an expansive view of the sea ahead. The overhead control panel provides constant data as to all the ships systems. The E-Series Raymarine electronics help guide this yacht accurately to each port of call. Walking down a few steps from the galley, holding on to the recessed teak handrail, the realization of the thought processes that went into designing, then building this yacht is evident. Looking aft is the full beam master stateroom finished in finely crafted teak. The head is to port with full sized walk-in shower and, as do all Marlow Explorers, features Grohe faucets atop the ebony granite counter. The owners berth with drawer storage below positioned athwardship surrounded by a full length floor to ceiling mirror. There are three full sized hanging lockers along with storage on both sides of the headboard. Forward to port is the 3rd stateroom/office. The double folding doors make this a very open space, yet when it is time to rest, close off the room entirely. The built in desk has a fold out stainless stool. Moving forward the VIP stateroom with its centerline queen berth, ensuite head with separate shower would be the master stateroom on most yachts. No visit to a Marlow Explorer is complete without an inspection of the engine room. This yacht has the 700HP C-12 Caterpillars have only 800 hours. The over six foot headroom is a great feature in a yacht of this size, allowing easy access to all of the mechanical systems. Her superior construction and classic styling have made the 53C Marlow Explorer, the class of the industry. She is in great condition and
