About this yacht
MARQUISE is a sophisticated 72-metre Austal motor yacht built in 2004 and comprehensively refitted in 2025, representing the pinnacle of contemporary luxury charter design. Originally conceived with Luiz de Basto's striking exterior architecture and AskDeco's fresh, innovative interior aesthetic, she seamlessly combines cutting-edge functionality with refined comfort across her expansive deck spaces and interior volumes. Her beam of 13.80 metres affords the kind of generous proportions that transform the charter experience, ensuring guests never feel constrained despite the vessel's considerable guest complement.
MARQUISE accommodates 28 guests in 14 cabins—comprising a Master Suite, six VIP staterooms, five double cabins, and two twin cabins—while supporting them with a professional crew of 29. This guest-to-crew ratio ensures attentive, personalised service throughout the charter. Her distinctive amenities reflect the preferences of discerning clientele: a full-beam swimming pool on the sundeck anchored by a heated Jacuzzi, a fully equipped gymnasium, sauna, beauty salon, massage room, and an onboard cinema for entertainment in any sea state. Stabilisers that function both at anchor and underway minimise motion, allowing guests to relax without distraction.
The interior atmosphere is notably light and inviting, with carefully curated artwork displayed throughout. Multiple dining and relaxation zones provide flexibility for both social gatherings and intimate moments. Her exterior decks offer abundant seating, sunbathing areas, and alfresco dining spaces positioned to maximise views. A diverse water toy selection—including RIBs with towing capacity, jetskis, Seabobs, SUPs, and snorkelling and fishing equipment—enables active guests to explore coastal destinations.
Cruising at 12.5 knots, MARQUISE operates seasonally across the Mediterranean, exploring both Eastern and Western regions during summer months, whilst her winter schedule encompasses Southeast Asia, the Andaman Sea, Arabian Gulf, Maldives, and Red Sea. Her aluminium construction and full-displacement hull design provide structural efficiency and seaworthiness across these diverse cruising grounds.
MARQUISE charter represents an exceptional proposition for larger groups seeking sophisticated, well-appointed accommodation combined with genuinely spacious living and entertainment areas. She remains available for weekly charters from €600,000, offering an uncompromised luxury experience for those who value both scale and refinement.
