meet marika, a 2011 marquis sport yachtmarquis yachts offers uniquely blended american engineering and build quality with italian design and styling. she offers a large amount of space in a fast and maneuverable motor yacht. this 420 sport bridge is all sweeping curves and soft corners on the exterior. although the 420 sb looks the part of a sleek import, its beamy dimensions and robust interiors make for livable spaces, complete with great headroom (6’5”) and an open floor plan. she is a true two cabin yacht for under 44-feet.the 420 sb features the same single-level galley/saloon/cockpit layout, an award-winning design from marquis. because the three areas connect seamlessly with no steps between them, traffic flow is smooth, and entertaining is closer to effortless. this sport bridge was designed specifically for volvo penta’s ips pod-drive propulsion. when powered by ips 600s, estimated top-end speed is 33 knots, with a cruising speed of 24 knots, burning just under 1mpg.the 420 is built to a ce class a certification, which means it’s an ocean-going vessel that can withstand force 8 (40-knot) winds and 13-foot seas. “there aren’t many 43-footers built to that certification, but we believe in manufacturing to a higher standard,” said erik nelson, vice president of sales and marketing at marquis.
