59
Description
Introduced as the Carver 59 in 2003, this stylish yacht became the Marquis 59 the following year when Carver created the Marquis brand. Her sleek Italian lines were a sharp contrast from Carver’s traditional emphasis on conservative, American-bred styling. Built on a modified-V hull with a solid fiberglass bottom, the Marquis’ upscale three-stateroom interior rivaled many European yachts of her era in comfort and luxury.
The split-level salon stretches unbroken from the sliding entryway doors to the pilothouse windshield. Ultraleather settees and cherry cabinets highlight the aft salon while the galley and dinette are forward, on the pilothouse level. A lower helm is optional, and the full-service galley boasts solid granite counters and Sub-Zero refrigeration.
On the lower level, the master stateroom is aft and includes a king bed as well as two big hanging lockers. An island berth is fitted in the VIP bow stateroom, and over/under bunks are in the tiny port guest cabin.
A curved staircase in the cockpit leads to the huge flybridge with lounge seating, wet bar, and davit. A hydraulic swim platform was optional. MAN 825hp V-drive diesels cruise in the mid 20-knot range (28 top).
