~Marquis 500 Sport Bridge

The 500 Sport Bridge is the most recent creation from the yacht design studio of Nuvolari-Lenard of Venice, Italy. Their extensive experience designing the world's largest and most luxurious mega-yachts has been applied to the Marquis 500 Sport Bridge. This is a very special vessel. Every last detail has been scrutinized to reflect Nuvolari-Lenard and Marquis Yacht's combined reputation for obsessive attention to design detail and unmatched yacht construction quality.

This new Marquis is a performance yacht operated from either the flybridge or the fully equipped salon helm station. Power is supplied by three Volvo Penta diesel engines coupled to IPS rotating pod drives - the most innovative and efficient engine / drive system available. The result is superb slow speed torque; thrilling top-end speed and exceptional joy stick controlled slow speed maneuverability. And, while powerful - this engine and drive combination is quieter and more efficient than traditional shaft driven propulsion systems.

The features incorporated into this yacht reflect forward thinking from the Nuvolari-Lenard design team. The low profile sport bridge is for people who love fresh sea air and warm sunshine. There is no shortage of lounge space. Choose the privacy of the triple-wide foredeck lounge or the contoured bridge lounge or the spacious sun pad aft of the bridge.

With the opening of the aft bulkhead doors, galley, salon, cockpit and swim platform are integrated into a single level social area. For additional cockpit space the transom is moved aft with a simple touch of a button. Awe inspiring interior appointments include yacht finish woodwork custom crafted from a number of exotic hardwoods.

The prestige associated with the Marquis brand has been earned over time and is undisputed by the world's most knowledgeable yachtsmen. The new Marquis 500 Sport Bridge reflects the knowledge of a highly refined owner that recognizes world class style and fine yacht quality.
