Edit: Apologies for the omission of the bathroom in this review, you can see it in Jack’s tour of the boat taken at the Cannes Boat Show from 9mins 5secs: czcams.com/video/2V15g0GM2cA/video.html
"Jack's tour" 😊
Thx - was looking for that :)
The 9:05 doesn't link to the Cannes review but this one. The CZcams link is fine.
Thank you Jack for such a great review. I was especialy touched by the way you described the way she handles, because i took special care of the design of the hull underwater shape and am very happy that you are able to recognise it.
What a great comment to read! Thank you for posting and congratulations on a great hull.
Thanks man!
@@alias19 Hi. Distribution is not my field, but i will forward your request to the Marex executives and maybe they will expand their dealer network to America and Canada. Have a good day.
@@E39520IA I have few questions about the boat.
Does the shaft drive version have a propeller tunnel/pocket? And is the prop protected? How steep is the shaft angle?
What a Nice boat!! These smaller boats really touch me more than super yachts in many ways, just perfect for cozy summer days at sea with family and friends
totally agree!
Smaller boats feel "boatier". Massive super yachts just feel like you're in a fancy apartment or upmarket ferry. Smaller boats feel like they're more fun.

Toddlers will love that second cabin.
I actually remember being around that age, and loving to crawl into small spaces like under tables, into boxes and stuff. I presume it's because when you are that size, everything is giant, because it's built for adults. So it's a welcome variety from the vast openness that a small family kitchen looks like, if you're literally three foot tall or shorter.
Which means that if you're a young couple with a toddler, and the baby is at nana and granda's house, it's perfect.
Gorgeous boat! Thanks for the review! Everything is thought out to the smallest detail!
Really well presented, as usual. That's an amazing boat. Perfect indoor/outdoor blend and extremely adaptable. The reliable (manual) roof is a nice touch
Very good design. I like the simplicity, yet they have still achieved a sense of class and quality throughout.
If you've had a chance to cruise Scandinavia a bit, summer or shoulder season, this design will especially appeal. We grew to appreciate how cruising there can be fun and fulfilling with 'just enough boat' while others - like us in our 42' ketch - aren't finding things nearly so 'easy'. What a treat to be aboard. Thanks, Jack.
It seems well thought out and of great quality. This seems like a boat that would work for me to drive myself.
So much fun in such a stylish package. Loved the droneshots❤️
I love this yacht! This will be my mine! I have only one mod that would be to the helm seat, I love my wife and would love to have a spot right next too me while we motor along. That is a must along with the addition of a grill aft. Wow I really cant stop watching this video. Thank you for the ride along great work.
Another quality boat from Marex, they always look superb. Thanks Jack 👍
Thanks for watching!
Gorgeous craft. Seconding these being made available in North America. Their clever design and engineering makes me believe they would make a wonderful
Perfect boat . Nice slow motion video. Thank you👍🇫🇮
Jack really enjoy your videos looks a great boat ideal for someone who’s only been boating a short while
Thanks Colin.
Actually, the way they designed the living quarters would be a selling point for me. The use of space and the open atmosphere are amazing given the size of the boat. I've seen so many much larger vessels that will make you feel like you are sitting in a barrel when you go down below. This one is beautifully thought out and executed!
sublime.thanks jack for the review.
Beautiful and amazingly well thought out
Thank you mr corden for the lovely walk through
Fantastic review, stunning boat for its size
beautiful boat, very smart, hight quality, very cleaver, good hull... like all the marex.
I absolutely love this boat, I’ve been drooling over it since the Cannes boat show. So practical and user friendly, love the joystick system, I would’ve preferred a larger SIMRAD display and the shower is a tad too small for my build. Beautiful build quality, as you’d expect from Marex. I think it’s the only one with a side door , too, an essential item for me. The clever way the rear canvas canopy stows away is amazing, why all boats builders don’t adopt it is a mystery. Thanks Jack.
very nice. so many great ideas in this design
Great boat, great video! Thanks Jack!
Thanks for watching 😊
It's really telling to see some of the same materials, features and approach to design etc as the Sardo and other Scandinavian Fjord hoppers. Nice boat!
nice yacht really enjoyed your walkthrough
One of my favorites, love this boat… offers so much for its size!
Induction dual stove top that flips up to reveal gas ones...brilliant! I have never seen that in any boat video!
Very good presentation of a boat!
Beautiful review of a dreamboat - in my home waters. Where is that lottery ticket again...
That's a really nice boat, the midship cabin was pretty good considering.
Great video!
Would love to see these made available in North America. Seems like an ideal cruiser for the Great Lakes (and more). Enjoyed the video but wondering about the head, i.e. wet head or separate stall? Also, did I see correctly that the air horn is angled down off the mast at about 45 degrees? I guess you'll know when it sounds!
Great looking boat.
Great job Jack, thanks.
Thank you 👍
Well sorted craft. It would be good to see some feature overnighters on boats of this size, just to get a perspective on practicality and useability.
Great review
Very nice boat and in really nice surroundings! So looking forward to summer, and spend Norwegian summer nights in this area. Perfect size for the Oslo fjord area.
You're a lucky man!
@@jackhaines123 yes! A very nice area to have a boat in. Many places to go to within a short distance and not too far to go further south or to west coast of Sweden.
Such a fantastic boat for her size
Simply the best 👌
Impressive boat, amazing what they can get it for the size
What a fantastic boat. Moved to the top of our list.Diesels only though... no GAS.
TThe Swiss Army Knife of boats! Incredibly clever design, totally usably, yet attractive with it.
A lot of what you need, not a lot of what you don't! SimpliScandi!
Fantastic jack
Can you PLEASE show the engine room?
Enjoyed your video.
Everything greatly thought of, except the cable connection and the gas hub, I see an issue there, if tv option is used.
Absolutely fabulous power cruiser.
Thx for your input
Great video. Well done.
That electrical fire hazard of the TV connection is not well thought out at all. But the rest of the boat is.
Great review of a great-looking boat. It looks like you've had worse days at the office...
You’re right about that 😉. Thanks for watching
Lovely boat 😍
Beautiful
In answer to the rhetorical question: yes!
İt is wonderfull boat.Everything is beautifull. İt is very usefull.(İn İstanbul)
Lekker man lekker 🇿🇦
Hard to beat the usability of this boat. I'd happily have one.
An interesting boat, it would have been nice to see the engine compartment.
Very nice 👌👍
These marex boats, would make excellent great loop boats
Love this .. But Marex does not seem to sell boats in the USA. Sad - I would have looked at one.
Heads and engine space?
A mistake in the edit, sorry, you can see the bathroom in Jack’s tour of the boat here: czcams.com/video/2V15g0GM2cA/video.html
What else could you get for the money? It would be interesting to compare with other boats out there….
Considering I am almost never impressed by the newer generations idea of Naval Architecture this boat is an exception. I think it appeals to a more traditional boater as opposed to the guy in Miami that buys a boat based on how many colors the LEDs change. Ever notice those that buy boats with elliptical windows everywhere are the same people that just leave fenders out year round. Underway or at the dock. I really like the side decks taking off from the swim deck. Nice layout. Its also wise and rare to mix options from my mainstay Merc. With the mechanical nightmare that is Volvo just so newer boaters can learn an expensive lesson.
Nice 👍🏻
This is a sweet Pocket Yacht
What a fantastic boat that is and a superb little movie (I can't call that a video) 👍
Where was the sea trial performed? I'd like to check that place out on Google maps, it looks stunning there. 👍❤️🇬🇧
Just a few miles south of Oslo. It’s spectacular!
@@MotorBoatYachting thank you 👍❤️🇬🇧
I want a boat like this.
Jack, how about some measures? Unfortunately can't do anything with "nice" and "decent" space.
How about a measuring tape? Especially in the cabin...
Love Marex over many of the other Scandi-type brands. It's the canopy rail!! What an idiotic notion of having to find storage for canopy panels, get them out, Rubik cube them into position, find storage for them ten minutes later as the sun comes out. Marex say CURTAINS to that.
Cool boat. I assume it has a shower and toilet?
A mistake in the edit, sorry, you can see the bathroom in Jack’s tour of the boat here: czcams.com/video/2V15g0GM2cA/video.html
Good review Jack as always but no toilet ???

Good video. But disapointed i did not get to see the toilet or the engine room.
is it a lake or a sea that you tested the boat?
Great
I am wondering about insulation on boats in freezing weather.
I notice how most of them seem to be single glazed windows, with little to no exterior wall thickness of an insulated wall.
As someone who seen how mold grows in a warm room of a house, when an exterior wall or ceiling isn't properly insulated, I wonder how cold weather designed yaucts and cold weather boats in general deal with this both health and vessel maintenance hazard.
I've literally dug into reach the concrete, not just the plaster and paint layers of a wall, to remove mold once. That's how much the living organism mold can literally dig into a surface.
I've also seen a house with mold infestation so bad, that there was absolutely no question whatsoever, but the builders literally had to remove, the entire ceiling of some or maybe even all, of the rooms in that house.
That Scandinavian aesthetic is awful nice. I bet Volvo IPS drive(s) here would be just perfect.
Kapal yang bagus 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Nice boat! Why didn’t you show the head?
A mistake in the edit, sorry, you can see the bathroom in Jack’s tour of the boat here: czcams.com/video/2V15g0GM2cA/video.html
How much water depth is needed for these boats?
The draught is 2ft 9in (0.9m), depends how close you're comfortable getting to that...
this or the Sealine C335?
This, or Sealine C335?
So many nice boats to buy. Only problem is getting the money to buy one. Come on Camalot... give me a break
14:34
I absolutely love how practical this boat is, but please don't put an electric outlet, just behind the top of a cook hob.
Or a TV on the wall over the cooking hob.
Steam and pot spills happens when cooking, even when on solid, dry land.
That's a serious electrical fire hazard.
The TV circuits are literally going to be drenched in steam.
An electronic devices like TV's, require those air slits in the back of them.
The hub has a glass cover that fold up and work as a backsplash when in use. The lack of an extractor fan or at least a openable vent in the window behind the stove is the larger issue.
@@BilldalSWE No. An electronic device over a cooker, is definitely the bigger issue.
Unless the TV is sealed into a water tight container, which still runs a risk from condensation building up inside it as it heats up, building condensation on the TV itself.
Yes, the lack of an extracter fan over the cooker is an issue, but the electric circuits will become an issue, well before the condensation on the ceiling will.
Also, that glass cover is inadequate to stop the spills flowing around it.
.....is Jack linked to the Haines boat company?
No!
Can i import this boat to Canada / USA? 🇨🇦
Sorry, doesn't look like they have any North American dealers right now: marex.no/contact/
Well designed and very capable.
I gorgeous girl indeed.
Nice boat, good review but the sound pffff. So much sound on the background while drive the boat.
Would be nice if there was an outboard engine option.
What about the toilet?
A mistake in the edit, sorry, you can see the bathroom in Jack’s tour of the boat here: czcams.com/video/2V15g0GM2cA/video.html
I am a bit disappointed that you didn't show the bathroom area.

@@MotorBoatYachting Thank you! No worries
Nice, but starting at £320k seems a bit steep.
Nowhere to do a wee or poo? Apart from that, a very appealing boat.
He did not show the heads, but you can see it at 15:00
A mistake in the edit, sorry, you can see the bathroom in Jack’s tour of the boat here: czcams.com/video/2V15g0GM2cA/video.html
yep, GRIP!
audio....
Mercruisers? So gasoline?
I love this boat but won’t buy one if it does not have outboard options. Two 400 to 450 HP Yamaha’s should do the job.
Missed the heads

where I live it would be cheaper to buy this instead of a house
Very impressive how much??? Iam a SEA RAY FAN I like their older models but buying a cheap one will cost more with Renovation and upgrades. But I wouldn't mind buying this mini yacht If it's at least $100,000
They are pretty expensive. I doubt it is less than 300000$
It’s mentioned in the introduction
