The Marex 440 is a new generation of cruisers with contemporary design lines and several new innovations. At 13.70 metres in length and with a maximum beam of 4.27 metres, this new boat is set to become the brand’s flagship.
The boat will have 2 modifications: 440 Gourmet Cruiser with enormous U-shaped kitchen layout and 440 Scandinavia Version with second dining in an enclosed salon.
Concept overview
The idea is to create a family boat with focus on easy living and have the cruise experience of a much larger vessel. The largest kitchen in its class, beach club next to the water, two bathrooms and a washer machine are examples of this idea.
The Marex 440 Gourmet Cruiser is the result of the #collaboration between the Marex’s in-house design team and Slovenian studio VOM Creations #yacht Design. Naval architecture was provided by Nikl design and Engineering by Alpha Creations.
Functional kitchen
One of the 440 Gourmet Cruiser’s innovations is its kitchen. Marex created a chef’s dream with an enormous U-shaped kitchen layout – the largest in its class. It features an oven/microwave, double sink, induction cooker and a dishwasher. It also has an opening in the countertop for storage of 4 beer/ drink cases of 24 boxes each. The solar panels provide enough capacity to keep the 220-litre refrigerator and 100-litre freezer running permanently without shore power.
The Scandinavia version can propose additional dining area with a big sofa and two retractable stools instead of port side kitchen cabinets.
The cockpit features a dining area for up to 10 guests. The table can be lowered, creating a space for a large sunpad/berth. Optional turning chairs can also be adjusted for height, depending on use with either the bar, or table.
The 440 has pilot and port sliding doors. This allows freedom of movement for the captain and guests while also letting in fresh air.
There is a large sitting area with integrated soft backs for guest to enjoy closeness to the sea. A hydraulically operated swim platform can also carry a tender during cruising and has steps for getting in and out of the water easily and safely.
