CURRENTLY CRUISING SUMMER 2025 IN NEW ENGLAND. CONTACT LISTING BROKER FOR SHOWING INSTRUCTIONS AND LOCATION.
Seller will consider partial trades for real estate, car, or boat.
This 2002 Marlow Explorer 70E is an exceptional example of one of the most sought after long range cruising yachts in her class. Well known for elegant lines, superior engineering, and shallow draft, VAN DUTCHES delivers both the style and the performance serious yachtsmen demand. Even more importantly, she is truly cruise-ready and fully outfitted, professionally maintained with an onboard full-time engineer, and equipped for extended offshore or coastal voyages.
The three-stateroom, three-head layout, plus crew quarters aft, includes a luxurious full-beam master stateroom with private access, a spacious VIP stateroom forward, and a guest stateroom amidships. The crew quarters aft offer additional versatility and privacy. The warm satin teak interior, large salon windows, and open galley create a welcoming, bright interior ideal for entertaining or long stays aboard.
This yacht has been continuously updated and maintained by experienced owners with no deferred maintenance and is offered in turn-key condition. If you are looking for a serious cruising yacht with timeless styling, proven systems, and no excuses, this Marlow 70E deserves your immediate attention.
The major engine 5000 hour service was recently complete and the engines were found to be performing as expected.
A surveyor told me years ago, "it is not the boat, it is the owner" and this is the perfect example of a 2002 yacht that shows much newer. Owned and maintained by a fastidious owner who maintains the boats systems with constant upgrades and service. A full time onboard engineer keeps her running like new. Both the interior and exterior are in above average condition and the Flag Blue painted hull and white superstructure still shine like new. All teak decks have recently been cleaned and are beautiful. You will NOT find a better yacht of this caliber for under a million dollars! Owners are moving up to a larger motor yacht and reluctantly offer VAN DUTCHES for sale.
Designed to be a distinguished semi displacement motor yacht, expertly designed and engineered for extended offshore cruising, craftsmanship, and seaworthiness the Marlow 70E delivers unmatched performance, safety, and livability. Top speed is 21 knots with fast cruise at 17 knots at 80% load. Her Flag Ship blue hull and white superstructure enhance the appeal of the boat in any marina or passage. The interior features softly varnished teak wood and trim and cabinetry with louvered doors allowing ventilation and reduces interior moisture. The entire interior has teak and holly flooring and wood blinds, large windows and hatches for natural light and ventilation and custom lighting. Beautiful in every imaginable way, VAN DUTCHES is truly impressive.
VAN DUTCHES just finished a cruise from Seattle to New England without any issues. The boat is continuing to cruise New England for the summer months. Showings are easy to arrange. Just contact listing broker for location and access.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM UPGRADE: A standout feature of VAN DUTCHES is its custom-designed electrical power management system. The result of a collaborative effort between the owner and a professional marine systems engineer. The highly sophisticated system was purpose-built to support efficient, quiet, and autonomous cruising. It enables the yacht to operate all onboard systems including air conditioning on battery power, with the generator engaging automatically only when necessary to recharge the batteries-greatly reducing fuel consumption, operational time, and wear.
The system is built entirely with PREMIUM Victron Energy components including twelve 200AH @24v Victron Lithium batteries (57.6kw battery bank), 20kw (4x 5kw Victron quattro) inverter with 585amps @24v chargers, and an integrated energy monitoring system and control interface. The system status can be accessed via a dedicated Victron control panel in the pilothouse or remotely through a secure smartphone application, providing full remote visibility and control. The level of electrical autonomy and systems integration is rarely, if ever, seen on any yacht. It reflects the significant investment (approx. $100k) in both equipment and engineering, with detailed schematics and documentation available on request. The discerning yachtsmen will quickly recognize the value and capability this system brings to extended "off -grid" cruising worldwide.

HULL:
The Marlow Explorer is one of the few yachts in the world whose manufacturer has taken the time to optimize the basic hull design. Most yachts built today are very similar to each other and their predecessors over the last 30 years or so. When you see a Marlow Explorer on land you will notice very quickly that the yacht is blocked at the bow, like every other boat, but at the stern she is sitting on her own twin Veloci-Jet Strut Keels. The propellers are well above the bottom of the keels, and it is obvious that a light grounding on a sand bar will only result in some worn bottom paint. What is not so obvious is how amazing these strut keels will make the boat handle in a following sea. The lateral resistance provided makes the boat track straight with very little rudder correction or action required. On deck you can see that the teak planks do not have bung holes hiding screws, they are epoxied in place and require no screws (no source for leaks!). The deck is molded as one piece because there are no seams from the transom to the bow, including the Portuguese bridge. The windshields and side windows are made from two layers of tempered glass with a layer of 3M Hurricane shield laminated in-between to create a VERY strong window that has a total thickness of 11mm, twice what most builders use in vessels below 100'.
Van Dutches features beautiful teak cap and hand rails. Just like the rest of the yacht the bilges are smooth and finished to the highest quality possible.
Seller will consider owner financing with 50% down, 20 year loan, with balloon payment in three years. Interest at 9.9%.
GALLEY:
The galley aboard the Marlow 70E is designed for serious cruising and entertaining, offering the perfect balance of elegance, functionality, and high end equipment. With its professional -grade appliances, intelligent layout, and exquisite finished, the galley is fully equipped for preparing everything from a gourmet meal to dockside entertaining-whether at anchor or underway.
The galley seamless interaction with the captain, crew, and guests both sitting at the pilothouse dinette or in the formal dining area or salon while maintaining excellent visibility and flow. The black granite countertops match the teak wood work and cabinetry making it a very appealing space. An overhead stainless steel insert with lighting makes the galley space seem larger. With plenty of food preparation and storage spaces the galley will please even the most discriminating onboard chef. Any cook will be at home with the large granite counters, appliances, and expanse of windows. You will never settle for a galley down arrangement after seeing this yacht. You will feel more like you are cooking at home than on a yacht in this galley.

Above the cabinet is an opening that allows the occupants of the galley to see and converse with those in salon or dining area. Along the port side and up three steps is the pilothouse and galley area.
SALON:
The salon is expansive and offers accommodations to rival any upscale hotel or home. As you enter from the cockpit you see the beauty of the soft varnish teak wood and cabinets along with the beautiful teak valance, wood blinds and custom lighting. Immediately to port is the spiral staircase leading to the crew quarters and engine room. To starboard is the custom settee with a forward chaise lounge. The material is exquisite and unique to VAN DUTCHES. Centered is an ottoman with storage.

Teak and holly flooring and expansive salon windows provide an inviting atmosphere with amazing natural lighting.
MASTER STATEROOM:
Located amidship for optimal stability and privacy, the full-beam master stateroom exemplifies the commitment to luxury, comfort, and craftsmanship. Designed for extended cruising and liveaboard comfort. The centerline king size berth is framed by finely crafted teak cabinetry and custom night stands. Generous natural light flows through large opening port and starboard portlights, while custom window treatments provide complete privacy when desired. Storage is abundant, with deep drawer banks beneath the berth, twin cedar-lined hanging lockers, and a variety of built-in cabinets that maximize both space and utility. A thoughtfully designed vanity and the aft head (assumingly her head) provides an additional tough of convenience and comfort. High quality teak is complimented by a teak and holly sole.

Along the port side is a storage cabinet with the laundry center above with full size Maytag washer and vented dryer.

Exhaust fans in both head ensure removal of excessive moisture.
VIP STATEROOM:
The VIP stateroom reflects a level of comfort and refinement rarely found in a VIP stateroom. Located in the bow, this spacious cabin features a queen centerline berth with an upgraded mattress, custom headboard, and beautiful teak cabinetry. Built-in cabinets, port, and starboard cedar lined hanging lockers, and under berth drawers provide generous storage for extended stays. Overhead hatches and side portlights deliver excellent ventilation and create a bright and airy atmosphere. Access steps on each side allow for an easy transition into the berth. Perfectly suited for family or discerning guests, the VIP stateroom offers a quiet and private retreat with all the amenities of a world class yacht.

GUEST STATEROOM:
The guest accommodations are designed with the same meticulous attention to detail and craftsmanship found elsewhere. The guest stateroom provides comfortable quarters for family or additional guest. The pullman style queen berth is to port and the stateroom features finely finished teak joinery, custom bedding, with ample storage, including cedar-lined hanging lockers, drawers, and built-in shelving.

PILOTHOUSE AND ELECTRONICS:
Designed for safe, efficient operation and long distance cruising, offering excellent sightlines, robust systems and superior comfort for the captain, crew, and guests alike. If you are thinking of moving up to this size vessel from a smaller boat with a lower helm on the same level as the salon you may think you will not use the lower helm much, but the beauty of the raised pilothouse design is the lower helm moves up and forward enough that dodging crab
pots from this helm station is no problem. Because of the open layout, you have 360-degree visibility from the pilot house to the aft deck. Many owners find they use both helm stations every day.
The lower helm is complete with one STIDD helm chairs for the captain and the dinette/settee will seat your crew and guests. Turning the captain chair to port provides an additional seat to use the stunning satin teak dinette with flip-up leaves for more room when needed. There is a large Ultra-Leather settee that wraps around the dinette and easily seats six. In front of the helm chair, you have all the systems a captain would need. The twin CAT engine displays, full
Garmin navigation package, Simrad Autopilot, ICOM VHF, and other critical systems are all within easy reach. The overhead panel has electronic circuit breakers, inverter control panel, tank tender fluid level monitor for all tanks, bilge pump controls and vessel safety indicator lights. The electrical panels are located aft of the settee in easy to see cabinets. Overhead are safe and easily reachable teak handrails.
On long passages you will appreciate the ability to take only three short steps back to the galley while still being able to see out all the windows, easily monitoring the instrument screens. You will appreciate the ability to be on the main deck while under way. Above the helm seat are two bi-directional opening Manship hatches with screens to allow airflow in and keep bugs out or to provide complete black out shading, or a combination of the two if desired.
The pilothouse is fully climate controlled and sound insulated offering a quiet, secure command environment in all weather conditions. With its balance of functionality, luxury, and visibility, the pilothouse is a standout feature for everyone onboard.

FLYBRIDGE AND ELECTRONICS:
Accessed via pilothouse stairs or the aft deck steps, the expansive fly bridge is an excellent place for fair weather cruising and entertaining guests. Finished in non-skid decking for safety and low maintenance, and equipped with stainless steel railings for security underway, the flybridge is both highly functional and beautifully integrated into the overall design. The twin STIDD helm chairs are very comfortable and are priceless when it comes to a long run on the
water. The Caterpillar electronic displays are immediately forward of the large stainless-steel wheel. The console also has electronics displays and additional instrumentation for wind velocity and direction, water depth and boat speed. The VHF radio is within quick and easy reach. The flybridge is protected by a highly desired custom factory fiberglass hardtop. There are comfortable twin seating areas aft of the helm chairs and twin teak tables that are perfect
for dining outside. Under the seating is storage.
The flybridge aft deck is extended giving you more highly valuable and usable outdoor space along with the RIB and davit system. In the portside cabinet is storage and an electric BBQ grill. When not used for the RIB dingy the aft section of the deck doubles as a sun deck or room for loungers or additional seating. Overhead is the radar arch with the open radar and TRAC-VISION satellite TV and other antennas.

MECHANICAL:
Marlow owners continue to say that they have the best engine room they have ever been in. The current owner echoes that feeling. You can get to everything quickly and safely with 6 foot, 4 inch headroom. The area is well lit with 110V and 24V lighting. There are four large blowers to cool the space down after a run and the area is air-conditioned, so any maintenance can be done in comfort. Both engines and both generators have dual Racor filters with vacuum gauges. Thefuel system is very simple with 1 large tank holding 1760 gallons of fuel that you can easily fill from either side of the boat. The engine beds are very heavy polished stainless steel and the engine vibration isolation mounts to the hull stringer reduce any vibration. They run all the way past the transmissions to accept the thrust load of the Aqua Drive units. The Tides dripless shaft seals with spare carriers have a crossover tube that supplies water from both engines so you can safely run on one engine. The twin 20-kW Northern Lights generators are easy to inspect.
At the forward corner of the engine room, you will find twin sea chests outboard with a removable clear cleaning port. Each of the engines, generators, air-conditioning system, saltwater wash-down and all the other components of the yacht that require saltwater have their own shut-off valve on each of the sea chests that they are plumbed to. There is only one hull opening for each Sea Chest. These serve for all sea water needs and it provides great safety
and easier maintenance. The 800 hp Caterpillar engines are connected to the underwater exhaust system via high temperature silicone hose to further isolate noise and vibration.

DECK AND HARDWARE:
The raised pilothouse, Portuguese bridge and wide side decks combined with her state-of-the- rt semi-displacement hull makes the Marlow Explorer one of the most comfortable and safest yachts in any sea condition. Her spacious side decks are fully protected by fiberglass bulwarks topped with teak cap rails that are waist high aft and even higher as you move forward. The foredeck is accessed through the lockable centered Portuguese bridge door. The twin polished
stainless-steel anchor rollers are set up with a 45 lb. Danforth with 100 ft. chain rode on the port side and a 65 lb. CQR with 300 ft. of chain on the starboard side of the Ideal 24-volt electric windlass. On either side of the windlass, deck lockers open to expose the forward 50-Amp shore power cords, each with a Glendinning Cable Master. Faucets for the
fresh and saltwater wash downs are also in the lockers. The fuel tanks, fresh water, and drinking water can be filled from either side of the yacht. The fuel fill is in a locker that is conveniently located amidships about 12-inches above the deck. The water fills are located on either side of the pilothouse right below the forward windshield eliminating the need to drag hoses across the deck. The black water pump out can be easily accessed on both the port and starboards sides, therefore, spinning the boat in a marina for pump out, water or fuel service is never necessary
on a Marlow Explorer.

BROKER COMMENTS:
This is one of the most beautiful, well maintained, and functional yachts I have ever listed. Maintained with an open checkbook, with an onboard engineer, the perfection of the fastidious owners, will show everywhere you look. Her continued cruising this summer does not prevent showings or offers. The owners are looking to move up to a larger motor yacht and reluctantly place VAN DUTCHES on the market.
