Research 2011 - Marquis Boats - 500 Sport Coupe

The Marquis 500 Sport Coupe is a yacht created through the partnership of Italy's Nuvolari-Lenard Naval Architects and Marquis, America's foremost builder of premium quality yachts. The result is a trend setting sport coupe with styling, quality and performance that will stand out in any port throughout the world.

Propulsion is provided by three Volvo Diesel engines equipped with innovative IPS drives. Performance is exhilarating. When equipped with Volvo IPS Series 600's the 500 Sport Coupe can achieve a top speed of 42 mph. The IPS joystick makes docking and maneuvering this 50' yacht in tight quarters a snap.

Nuvolari-Lenard's heritage of designing the world's most innovative mega-yachts is obvious throughout the Marquis 500 Sport Coupe's interior design and appointments. The Zebrano cabinetry, Brazilian cherry floors and designer fixtures set this yacht apart from typical express style boats.

People who love being on the water will place high value on having the cockpit, salon, helm station and galley on the same level. With a push of a button you can move the transom lounge aft which expands the size of the cockpit.

Like all Marquis', this new yacht is certified to CE-Class A specifications. That means it meets the European Union's highest standards and is built to be used with confidence on any body of water throughout the world.
