Mist Boat | 53' Marlow 2018

Mist has been continuously updated and upgraded by her current owners as the listing below will show. She has been cruised from Maine to the Bahamas and is set up to continue doing so without sacrifice.

The 53 Explorer is one of the most popular models from Marlow, she represents the perfect balance of luxury cruising, performance, and long-range capability in a highly sought-after semi-enclosed bridge design. Built with Marlow’s signature lightweight composite construction and efficient hull design, this exceptionally maintained yacht delivers impressive fuel economy, confident offshore handling, and an elegant ride. Her spacious layout, rich teak interior, panoramic salon windows, and comfortable flybridge create a refined cruising experience equally suited for extended passagemaking or comfortable liveaboard use. Powered by dependable twin diesel engines and equipped with Garmin electronics, Naiad fin stabilizers, and numerous upgrades, this 53E is turnkey and ready for her next owner’s adventures.

Mist was just hauled out of the water in Stuart, FL getting her offseason services completed and has indoor air conditioned Hurricane Cat 5 storage secured for the summer. Reach out to the listing broker today to schedule an in-person showing.
