Near the quality level of the Master, the VIP head offers granite floors and stainless steel polished hardware, with a mirrored bulkhead over the vanity. The toilet is a Tecma, Silence model, full size, electric flush. The VIP shower stall has a bench seat, frosted glass door, and non-skid sole. A detachable shower head is convenient for use as a hand shower, while below the vanity, a basin sink mounted in the counter is marble-topped, custom fitted, with a sea rail.

The M-720's gleaming white engine room is the perfect setting for the power that moves this motoryacht. Possible power options: twin MTU 10V2000 @ 1360-hp, or 1500-hp diesels; or CAT C32 1421-hp or 1676-hp; Marquis 720 is outfitted to deliver performance, speed and comfort as far and as fast as her owners may desire. For quick clean-ups after scrubbing the bilge, a washing machine is located just under the power panel.

Readily checked from its polished diamond plate catwalk, MTU's 10V2000 diesels post some shining numbers too with a cruise speed of 25 knots, topping out at 29 knots. Keeping these over-grown glow engines quiet is a room with SoundDown perforated 5052 aluminum surface, using a polyester-epoxy hybrid powder coat face & nonwoven acoustic material backing; sublayers of fire-retardant foam with metalized mylar vapor barrier.

Cleanliness is godliness in the aspect of a seagoing, independent, “small village.” Shown here is Marquis’ glittering driveshaft cover protecting the eager, dependable messenger which takes its direction from the engines, then turns the 5-blade certifiable NiBral 38” propellers to move the ship.

Marquis 720’s distribution power panel delivers every detail of navigation electronics, VHF, WASS, DSM digital sonar; AC/DC, transducer, video, cameras, safety systems, etc. performance, monitored by the Captain and/or Engineer. Easy to read; each switch chronicles a particular electronic measurement in its action phase or at rest.

Summing up, the Marquis 720 is nothing less than spectacular. The builder has done an outstanding job of fit and finish, with a creative approach in design and execution; especially for a semi-production yacht. Her interior is exceptional, on a level with full custom yachts that have unlimited budgets. The cadre of Marquis' highly-trained workers have backed up their marketing team with an extraordinary, artistic and practical design.

A standout, no doubt: the Marquis 720
sets new standards in production built boats.
