Our Thoughts

This 2006 Marquis 59 motor yacht represents a well-maintained, full-featured cruising platform ideally suited for extended family boating and entertaining throughout Florida and beyond. Positioned at 59 feet in length with a 16.5-foot beam and 4.58-foot draft, the Marquis 59 offers the kind of seaworthy proportions and interior volume that define the pilothouse motor yacht class—combining serious offshore capability with comfortable, livable accommodations.

Propulsion & Performance

Twin MTU 825 horsepower Series 60 diesel engines deliver the power and reliability expected from this platform, with documented 1,015-hour service records and a recent 1,000-hour engine service completed in April 2025. Twin Disc transmissions with 2:1 ratio gearing provide smooth, controllable acceleration and efficient cruising. The vessel achieves a comfortable 23-knot cruise speed with a maximum speed of 30 knots—practical numbers for transiting longer distances while conserving fuel. The 800-gallon fuel capacity supports extended cruising range, backed by Racor fuel filtration and dripless shaft logs with spare seals for reliability and peace of mind.

Navigation & Electronics

The Marquis 59 carries updated Garmin electronics including dual GPSMAPS 8612 chartplotters, a 4-foot open array HD color radar with 72-nautical-mile range, and Garmin autopilot—a cohesive, modern system that handles both coastal cruising and offshore navigation. Dual ICOM VHF radios with GPS and emergency capability, KVH 7 satellite television with Direct TV receiver, and Sirius XM radio round out the communication and entertainment suite. Bow and stern thruster controls are mirrored throughout the vessel for convenient maneuvering in tight spaces.

Mechanical & Electrical Systems

A Kohler 23-kilowatt generator with only 170 operating hours provides dependable shore-independent power, having just received its 1,000-hour service. The electrical architecture includes seven batteries with selector switches, parallel switch, dual Charles battery chargers (80-amp and 60-amp), and a Charles IQ 2600 inverter supporting both 110-volt and 12-volt systems. Dual 50-amp shore power connections with Glendenning retrieving reels facilitate efficient dockside connection. Bow and stern thrusters, anchor windlass with remote and foot control, trim tabs, and a central vacuum system represent the mechanical sophistication expected at this size and price point.

Interior Layout & Accommodations

The three-stateroom, two-head layout maximizes livability. The master stateroom occupies the full beam aft, featuring an island king berth, private ensuite head with tub/shower combo, cedar-lined closets, abundant storage, and individual climate control. The forward VIP stateroom offers an island queen berth with cedar-lined hanging lockers, wall-mounted television, and private head access. The midship guest stateroom features an over-under bunk arrangement with hanging locker and under-bunk storage. The guest head includes a separate enclosed shower, VacuFlush system, and tile flooring.

The main deck showcases an open-plan salon with port and starboard sofas, flatscreen television, and LED overhead lighting, flowing seamlessly into the lower dinette area with its U-shaped seating and storage underneath. The galley is well-appointed with a convection/microwave oven combo

2006 Marquis 59 Motor Yacht – Spacious Three-Stateroom Cruising Vessel with Recent Comprehensive Yard Service
Overview
The 2006 Marquis 59 represents a well-established platform in the modern motor yacht category, combining proven design with substantial interior volume and flexible deck layouts suited to extended cruising and entertaining. At 59 feet in length with a 16.5-foot beam, this twin-diesel-powered vessel offers the stability, fuel capacity, and accommodation count typical of serious cruising yachts in the 55–65-foot range. Powered by twin MTU 825 horsepower Series 60 diesel engines with 1,015 hours on the clock, the Marquis 59 is engineered for a cruising speed of 23 knots and a maximum speed of 30 knots, making it capable of both efficient long-distance voyaging and responsive day-running performance. Located in Jupiter , Florida, this example has recently completed a comprehensive yard period that included bottom paint, shaft and seal service, propeller scanning and turning, hydraulic system renewal, and full 1,000-hour service intervals on the engines, transmissions, and 23-kilowatt Kohler generator—work that signals serious attention to mechanical and structural integrity.
Layout and Deck Design
The Marquis 59 is organized around a three-stateroom, two-head sleeping plan distributed across the lower deck, with extensive entertainment and helm spaces topside. The master stateroom is positioned aft and spans the full beam of the hull, creating an island king berth with generous storage throughout, a private ensuite head with tub and shower, cedar-lined closets, and individual end tables on port and starboard. The VIP stateroom forward features an island queen berth with under-berth storage and cedar-lined hanging lockers, while the guest stateroom amidships houses an over-and-under bunk arrangement with hanging locker and lower-bunk storage. The guest head, located across the midship corridor, includes a separate enclosed shower and full VacuFlush sanitation system, while the master head features a tub-shower combo and dedicated vanity. The main deck saloon opens via a sliding aft door and accommodates port and starboard sofas, a salon coffee table, flatscreen television, and LED overhead lighting under reverse-cycle air conditioning. Below the saloon level, a large U-shaped dinette area with ample seating and under-seat storage provides casual dining and gathering space, served by a well-appointed galley featuring a convection microwave combo oven, two-burner electric cooktop, stainless refrigerator-freezer, solid surface countertops, port-side wet bar, and abundant cabinetry. Fresh carpet and updated soft goods throughout the interior reflect recent cosmetic renewal. The exterior design emphasizes multiple entertaining zones. The aft deck includes a U-shaped settee with storage and access to the hydraulic swim platform, while the bow features a full bench seat with custom back rest and cushion, creating a dedicated sun-pad area. The flybridge is the signature entertainment space, enclosed by a full four-sided fiberglass hard-top enclosure with removable carpeting, an electric grill, refrigerator, fresh water sink, two helm chairs, port helm bench seating, and starboard and port side storage cabinets—all accessible via interior stairs with a safety hatch.
Helm and Electronics
Dual helm stations—the lower helm in the pilothouse and the upper helm on the flybridge—are equipped with single-lever engine controls, bow and stern thruster controls, and a tilt helm wheel for ergonomic adjustment. The electronics package centers on dual Garmin GPSMAPS 8612 chartplotters, a Garmin 4-foot open array HD color radar with 72-nautical-mile range, and Garmin autopilot, providing comprehensive navigation and collision-avoidance capability. The ICOM two-station VHF radio with GPS and emergency button ensures reliable communication, while a KVH 7 satellite TV system with Direct TV receiver and Sirius XM radio deliver entertainment throughout the vessel. An ACR remote spotlight assists with nighttime maneuvering and docking. Rudder indicator gauges at both helm stations provide real-time feedback on steering geometry, while bow and stern thruster controls at all stations enable precision positioning in confined waters and tight anchorages.
Mechanical Systems and Power
Twin MTU 825 horsepower Series 60 diesel engines with 1,015 hours deliver the propulsive power, paired with Twin Disc transmissions (2:1 ratio) and dripless shaft logs with spare seals. The 1,000-hour service completed in April 2024 covered engines, transmissions, and the 23-kilowatt Kohler generator—work that establishes baseline maintenance intervals and reduces buyer uncertainty regarding near-term service obligations. The electrical infrastructure includes seven batteries with selector switches, a battery parallel switch, dual Charles battery chargers (80-amp and 60-amp), and a Charles IQ 2600 inverter, supporting 110-volt and 12-volt systems throughout the vessel. Fifty-amp shore power connections with Glendenning retrieving reels simplify dockside connections. Bow and stern thrusters with wireless handheld controls and integrated panel controls at all stations provide lateral maneuvering capability without reliance on main engines. An anchor windlass with remote and bow foot control, trim tabs, and 4 bilge pumps with high-water alarm round out the mechanical redundancy typical of serious cruising yachts. Fire suppression systems, CO monitors, an engine room camera, and a central vacuum system reflect comprehensive safety and convenience design.
Comfort and Seating
The flybridge U-shaped settee with under-seat storage and the cockpit bench seat with storage compartments provide abundant informal seating for entertaining and day-running relaxation. The salon's port and starboard sofas create a comfortable gathering space, while the lower dinette accommodates family-style meals and conversation. The bow sun pad with custom cushion and back rest offers a dedicated forward-facing relaxation area. The hydraulic swim platform with handheld remote control, folding ladder, and transom shower facilitate water access and tender operations, while folding stainless cleats and custom heavy-duty tender chocks support safe dinghy stowage.
Cabin and Interior
Recent 2024 updates to carpet and soft goods throughout the lower deck—master stateroom, VIP stateroom, guest stateroom, and salon—reflect cosmetic refresh. Updated galley appliances, including the convection microwave combo and two-burner electric cooktop, support meal preparation, while a wet bar area and abundant storage cabinetry serve entertaining and daily living. LED overhead lighting throughout the interior, combined with reverse-cycle heating and cooling in the saloon and lower dinette, ensures year-round comfort. A Malber stack washer-dryer and central vacuum system support extended cruising and housekeeping. The VacuFlush electric head system in both guest and master heads provides reliable sanitation with fresh water sinks, hot and cold water, and dedicated storage.
Entertainment and Audio Systems
The updated Fusion and Kicker stereo system, combined with flatscreen televisions in the master stateroom, VIP stateroom, and salon, supports music and entertainment throughout the vessel. The KVH satellite TV system with Direct TV receiver and Sirius XM radio ensure content availability in cruising destinations where terrestrial broadcast is limited.
Fuel and Water Capacity
An 800-gallon fuel capacity supports extended cruising at the 23-knot cruise speed, while a 200-gallon fresh water capacity sustains normal household consumption during multi-day passages. Bronze through-hulls with strainer baskets, Racor fuel filters, and dripless shaft logs with spare seals protect the vessel's propulsion and water systems against contamination and seawater intrusion.
Why This Yacht Deserves Attention
The Marquis 59 occupies a pragmatic niche in the cruising yacht market—large enough to accommodate three staterooms and multiple entertaining zones, yet manageable in terms of fuel economy, crew requirements, and docking complexity compared to larger motor yachts. The recent 1,000-hour service intervals on engines, transmissions, and generator, combined with fresh bottom paint, cutlass bearing renewal, shaft seal replacement, and hydraulic platform cylinder renewal, signal that the current owner has invested in mechanical confidence rather than cosmetic superficiality. The comprehensive electronics package—dual Garmin chartplotters, 72-nautical-mile radar, autopilot, and two-station VHF—provides navigation and communication capability expected of offshore-capable cruising vessels. The three-stateroom layout with two heads and a full beam master stateroom positions this yacht as a genuine liveaboard
