Never My Love just had a full engine service performed by the CAT Dealer, Ring Power at the Marlow Service Center. Her After coolers were only a year away from the recommended replacement date so the owner had them replaced ahead of time. She is ready to cruise the Bahamas with her new owner.
“Never My Love” is the finest example of melding a traditional appearing offshore pilothouse motor yacht with the finest in modern construction methods, equipment and the newest generation of technology in the high-performance yachts of today.
This exquisite vessel was built for a couple that preferred the traditional style of a Marlow on the exterior with a more modern interior that features less traditional teak and more classic bright white finishes as well as modern lighting and appliances. “Never My Love” is a unique offering on the market today. A more beautiful, well-kept, high-performance yacht cannot be found.
Low profile, seaworthy appearance, high bow, flawless exterior craftsmanship, superb joinery and proper equipment selection are always the initial feelings as you board any Marlow Explorer and "Never My Love" is no exception. The passageways are wide and bulwarks and railings are high and safe. Never My Love provides all that and then some, as well as a very functional layout and warm, spacious interior with a more modern flare than typically found on this style yacht.
All interior living spaces are teak trimmed, with teak and holly cabin soles. Many of the interior walls have been upgraded to bright white ultraleather or finished in white gelcoat. The upholstery is bright white Ultra leather. The galley is built in top of the line stainless Viking or Sub Zero appliances. The lockers are cedar-lined and lighted. Wherever there is a nook, cranny or unused space, the Marlow factory has found a way to turn it into a locker, drawer or storage bin. No potential storage volume is wasted anywhere aboard this vessel.
Versatile and conscious of the different docking conditions, “Never My Love” offers a stairway from the wide swim platform in addition to port and starboard forward boarding gates. The integrated swim platform is exceptionally large with protective removable N-rails to assist in boarding from a tender or floating dock. The lazarette, crew quarters and engine room can be accessed by a large hydraulic assisted transom door. Twin port and starboard stairs to the aft deck leading to the twin transom doors grant access to the aft deck. The aft deck offers an abundance of space with a long bench-style cockpit seat covered in comfortable white Ultraleather as well as a high gloss aft deck table and 5 folding deck chairs, providing seating for 8-9 comfortably and a perfect space to entertain or enjoy a quiet sunset. The stairwell to the flybridge is adjacent to the salon bulkhead to port of the salon door. The cabinet to the starboard has a docking station with throttle and thruster controls in addition to spacious storage and a slide-out trash bin. Both expansive side decks run forward from the aft deck to the Portuguese bridge. Optional forward boarding gates make for multiple boarding options when the dock height becomes challenging.
One enters the salon through a pair of beautifully crafted full height tinted glass and stainless sliding doors. As you step in from the aft deck you immediately observe a complete sight line to the forward windshield, as well as the large windows along each side of the salon. To port you see a large and welcoming J shaped settee covered in beautiful White Ultraleather. Each section is easily lifted with the assist of a stainless steel pneumatic strut to reveal a well finished storage area. Additionally, two large and very comfortable salon chairs are free floating for flexible seating options on the starboard side with a large TV on a lift. Ample built-in storage can be found throughout the salon. In the aft Starboard corner the teak cabinet houses the AV components including the Bose surround sound system and Direct TV components. Forward in the salon you find the beautiful "Boat bar" that was custom built to mimic the yacht itself with a blue hull, boot stripe and high gloss teak top. The bar has three comfortable stools that are permanently mounted so they don't move at sea. Storage is everywhere, complete with a bar sink, fridge / icemaker, custom glass ware and bottle storage and a second TV on the forward bulkhead for clear viewing by those sitting at the bar. Forward to port is a white Silestone topped prep area with Subzero wine cooler and a storage cabinet with slide out shelves. There are no long and skinny or short, stocky rooms here, just a feeling of comfort and well laid out proportions. The headliner and walls have been covered in Polar White Ultraleather for a modern feel. In the Port aft corner of the salon there is a stairway down to the crew quarters and engine room. This crew cabin is a great additional cabin for guests when you don't need crew on board. With multiple zones, chilled water loop air-conditioning system you will find no hot spots or cold spots through the boat; just comfortable, quiet air distribution. The elegance, design, styling and well thought out layout need to be seen to be fully appreciated.
Up three steps, the large modified U-shaped galley includes white Silestone counter tops, stainless steel Franke two chamber sink with disposal, Grohe faucets, Viking Professional smooth glass-top electric range with removable stainless-steel sea rails and pot keepers, Viking Professional oven, Viking Professional microwave, full size Sub Zero refrigerator with freezer drawer below and two Fisher-Paykel stainless drawer dishwashers. There are 2 additional freezer drawers on the forward side of the galley. There are abundant cabinets and drawers everywhere! Gourmet cooks will flourish in this wide open well-equipped galley.
Forward is a comfortable U shaped Seating area with built in seating and a beautiful Teak table and 2 stools. When you find the weather is not great for dining on the Aft deck you will find this a great spot. This is also a great spot underway as you can see forward through the salon windows.
The engine room has standing headroom and has been designed to allow easy access to all equipment. Placing fuel tanks forward of the engine room allows the full beam to be used for upgraded equipment placement. Attention to detail enables key maintenance access, which leads to proper adherence to maintenance cycles which yields maximum operational time. The cross plumed sea chests provide all sea water to the engine room providing a much-improved safety factor over most boats built with ubiquitous inlets wherever it suits the builder with little to no regard to functional serviceability. Commercial and military vessels often use sea chests for the same reasons. Twin 32 KW Kohler generators in custom sound boxes provide redundant electrical power at sea (each generator will independently carry the entire vessel electrical load). The dual, redundant and supplementary chilled water chillers and the start/finish of the circulating cold/hot water closed loop are here in the sound insulated machinery area keeping unwelcomed noises from waking guests in the middle of the night. The Naiad stabilizer hydraulics as well as robust hydraulics for the bow and stern thrusters and windlass are located here. On the forward bulkhead is the simplest of fuel management systems. Due to tank location (at the vessels center of gravity), no fuel management is necessary for trim or ballast, allowing all supply and return valves to remain open unless equipment isolation is desired. the fuel level can be checked with the most reliable system available, a glass sight tube. The Seatorq oil filled shaft systems for each shaft which greatly reduce friction, increase overall performance and reduce vibration contributing to the Marlow Explorers reputation for a “smooth ride.” Exceptional sound isolation of this compartment and the additional sound isolation provided by two bulkheads and 3900 gallons of fuel tankage as additional insulation, enable normal conversations to take place in the salon and the master stateroom while operating at the 29-knot Maximum speed. Stainless steel engine beds atop carbon fiber stringers support the engines on soft motor mounts that reduce vibrations transmitted to the boat from the engine. The thrust plate absorbs the forward thrust and transmits it smoothly to the hull through the carbon fiber stringers.
A separate pump room is located below the forward berthing compartment with access from the companionway. This space contains the fresh water and drinking water filters (to remove particulates, taste and odors) and pumps, redundant water pump and water distribution manifold. The water maker output connects to fresh water systems here.

https://show.tours/e/ScfFbsg
"Never My Love" is built using nothing but the best of today’s modern construction materials, taking advantage of all light weight, extremely strong, puncture resistant characteristics to provide a fuel saving at any speed, bullet-proof resistance to punctures, tremendous strength at sea in bad weather conditions and the friendly open feeling of a hull without unnecessary view-interfering bulkheads. The drystack Resin Infusion Vacuum Assisted Transfer (RIVAT) technique saves weight and enhances strength. The Corecell core is engineered for strength, laminating ease and resistance to any water intrusion. The Kevlar inner and outer skins do for this yacht what they do for a policeman, prevent killing penetration.
Three major, complex molds are used to build the vessel, minimizing the number of seams and maximizing strength. The primary structure is highly engineered E-Glass and Kevlar in combination with Corecell foam sandwich, laid up with modified epoxy resins. Marlow Yachts age gracefully, without the graying of skin or wrinkles normally found in other vessels.
The underbody is unique, with twin Velocijet strut keels and mild propeller tunnels. The tunnels permit the propellers to be raised and the thrust along the shafts to be more in line with the forward direction of the vessel. The tunnels improve water flow into the propellers, enhancing thrust. The Velocijet strut keels house and completely protect the shafts and extend below to protect the propellers. They are strong enough to support the boat when out of the water in a boatyard, or during an unfortunate low speed grounding. The Kevlar skin helps protect against severe damage from impact with logs, deadheads and minor and major debris.
The hull is finished with Flag Blue Awlgrip paint. All false planking lines are crisp and the hull shines. The deck drains and scuppers lead to the continuous drainage system, which runs from bow to stern and prevents water from running down the side of the boat. No black streaks on this beautiful girl.
The decks are finished with custom non-skid contrasting surfaces and large waterways carry away any water. Teak decks are provided under the covered aft deck, side decks and also on the centerline of the foredeck where secure footing is so useful in moving to and away from the windlass and anchor gear. The Maxwell anchor windlass is controllable at the bow and at the helm station. A stainless-steel plow and Danforth type anchor are provided. All chain is provided on the primary plow anchor and chain and rode on the secondary anchor. Low profile, heavy duty hatches are provided on the foredeck, above the forward dining area and over the Pilothouse. Custom curved large oval shaped stainless-steel handrails provide safety and security and the quality of the welds displays the artistry from the stainless-steel shop at NORSEMEN Shipyard, the captive Marlow building yard. Moving aft, one walks through the centerline gate in the Portuguese bridge, so substantial that it had to be made in two pieces to permit easy handling. There is built-in bow seating with substantial storage volume for fenders, lines and deck gear in the Portuguese bridge. At the front of the cabin on each side are tank fills for fresh water, no need to drag a hose across to the other side. Walk aft along either covered, wide side deck and you find a sliding watertight door. Observe the window lands, built with two-inch interior flat surfaces which receive the very strong, laminated, tempered glass from England. Go inside "Never My Love" and notice the clarity of the glass. Continuing aft on either side deck, open the hatch in the cabin side and see the tank fill, off the deck so no contaminants can enter. You can fill the tank from either side without needing to drag the fuel hose across the deck. Notice the drip pocket to catch those last few drops that want to fall on your clean deck.
