Why the Marquises 56 Stands Out
✅ Seaworthy Bluewater Design
Sturdy hull construction, balanced sail plan, and ergonomic deck plan provide excellent upwind and downwind sailing performance for crossing oceans or island hopping.
✅ Spacious Interior for Long-Term Cruising
Large salon with panoramic windows, generous galley space, and multiple ensuite cabins make it comfortable for family cruising or hosting guests.
✅ Ample Storage & Workshop Space
A true long-range cruiser, the Marquises 56 offers storage for spare parts, tools, provisions, and water toys.
✅ Ideal for the Gulf Coast’s Shallow Waters
Despite its size, the catamaran’s moderate draft allows access to the Bahamas, Florida Keys, and Gulf Coast barrier islands without sacrificing offshore capability.
✅ Charter & Liveaboard Potential
These models are favored by experienced cruisers and select boutique charter operations for their layout, comfort, and reliability.
