2024 Marlow Explorer 58E — TATTYSHACK

If you have been waiting for a late model 58E with the CAT C-18's at 1150 HP, new Beach Club, full beam Master with aft head and walk-in closet, this may be the boat you have been waiting for. "Tattyshack" has twin generators, Beach Club / crew area, water maker / spot-free combo machine. She loves to cruise at 9 or 20 knots like all the C-18 equipped boats but with the 1150 HP engines, she can cruise at 21-22 knots as well. Her hinged domes and mast allow for easy bridge clearance (perfect for the loop or just not waiting for some bridges in the intercostal waterway). She just had full services done - including CAT Engine service and a complete bottom job.

The Marlow Explorer is one of the few yachts in the world whose manufacturer has taken the time to optimize the basic hull design. When you see a Marlow Explorer on land you notice very quickly that the yacht is blocked at the bow and at the stern she is sitting on her own proprietary twin Velocijet Strut keels. The hull is molded in gel coat and topped with Awlgrip primer and finished with the beautiful stars and stripes blue Awlgrip paint. The bilges are so smooth using a special white gel-coating for a neat and tidy, always clean looking finish like the rest of the exterior and decks on the yacht. On deck you can see that the teak planks do not have bung holes hiding screws because instead they are epoxied in place for a far superior bond. 

There are no seams from the transom to the bow, including the Portuguese bridge due to the single molding piece of the deck giving the yacht unimaginable strength in heavy seas, squalls and storms. The windshields and side windows are tinted glass and laminated with a layer of 3M Hurricane shield to a total thickness of 13mm, twice what most builders use in vessels below 100'.

The cockpit on this 58 is stunning. The custom high gloss Teak table The aft bench seat is wide and deep and seats 3 adults comfortably. An additional 2-3 chairs on the forward side make this the perfect dining spot if you have managed to keep your vessel at the right latitude for the time of year. There are 4 boarding doors back here giving you plenty of options for boarding. These are augmented by higher boarding doors up by the pilothouse. This deck is fully covered, protecting you from the sun and the rain.  

The stairs the port side lead you up to the Flybridge and this has a nice storage cabinet as well. Both salon doors open so you can really enjoy the fresh air and sunshine when the weather is nice.  

There are screens on the pilothouse and aft doors.

This vessel has the new larger central bow seat. This is a nice deep comfortable seat with a table that is reported to be the best spot at anchor after sunset.   

Upon entering the salon from the aft deck, you feel the spaciousness of the vessel's 18'6" beam. This beautifully designed yacht has large panoramic windows for viewing throughout the salon and galley. There is a comfortable settee to port and two comfortable barrel chairs to Starboard. A large flat screen TV is in the port aft corner, so it is not seen when entering the salon, the cabinetry houses a wine cooler and refrigerator with icemaker. There is great storage below the built-in seating and in several storage cabinets. The walls and cabinets are satin Teak and the floor is high gloss Teak and Holly. There is a comfortable desk on the forward starboard corner of the salon with a great place for a small printer.  

Moving forward you will find the pilothouse just three steps up from the salon and includes the lower helm station, dinette and galley. The galley is very well equipped with top of the line appliances and plenty of storage for provisions and housewares.

In front of the helm chair, you have all the systems a captain would need. The engine displays, 16" Garmin multi-function screens, autopilot, VHF radio, and other critical systems all within easy reach.

When traveling from the lower helm you will appreciate having your cruising companions at the large settee to port. There is space here for four and the one driving will appreciate not having everyone behind you when running the boat. When operating from the lower helm during quiet passages you will also appreciate the close proximity to the galley.

There are twin cedar lined hanging lockers. A Samsung flat screen TV is mounted on the aft wall of the stateroom. Two screened overhead hatches provide light and fresh air.

There is a full head with separate stall shower accessible from the stateroom or the companionway to allow use as a day head. Both the head and the shower have exhaust fans vented outside the vessel. The shower is beautiful frosted glass with stainless frames. The sink is an under-mounted china bowl on a marble counter top.

The third stateroom is on the port side of the vessel at the base of the stairs from the pilothouse.

The outboard bunk lifts up to reveal a large storage area. There is a Samsung flat screen TV on the aft bulkhead viewable from the berths. 

The full-size stacked washer and dryer is in the main companion hallway between the staterooms so everyone staying on board has access. There is added storage space for detergent and other supplies a few feet away at the base of the stairs. Across from the washer and dryer there is a Sub Zero 2 drawer freezer unit.

The flybridge is an excellent place for fair weather cruising and entertaining guests. The twin Stidd helm chairs are very comfortable.

The Marlow Explorer yacht is well known to have built the very best engine room on a vessel of this size where “standing tall” is routine. Everyone is amazed with how you can easily move around in the Marlow Explorer engine room to do your daily systems checks. The area is well lit and there are 4 large blowers to cool the space down after a run and the area is air-conditioned, so maintenance can be performed in comfort. At the aft corner of the engine room you will find twin Sea Chests with removable clear cleaning port. Each of the engines, generator, air-conditioning system, saltwater washdown and all the other components of the yacht that require saltwater have their own shut-off valve on the Sea Chest. The 1150HP C-18 Caterpillar engines are connected to the underwater exhaust system via elevated temperature silicone hose to further isolate noise and vibration.

The Beach Club area is complete with air conditioning, microwave, refrigerator and is fully finished with a Teak and Holly sole. This area is a newer design to meet the market requests for a more user friendly multi use space. It functions well as a crew cabin when you want to take on some help, but its main utility is for the owner operator to have a better general purpose storage area. The large transom door opens to the swim platform allowing easy access to your gear, whether it be beach chairs, snorkel gear, or some electric bikes. There is a nice head here so it is the easiest place to visit when enjoying the water or coming back all sandy in the dingy.
