Norwegian builder Marex is well known for its aft cabin cruisers, but the demand for open-cockpit designs is such that Marex has adapted its award-winning 370 aft cabin model to focus on the exterior seating and outdoor comfort. Take a closer look with boats.com reviewer, Alex Smith, in this First Look Video filmed at Dusseldorf Boat Show earlier in the year.

 


 

Initially we focus on the neatly concealed, practical storage ideas in the cockpit: the lifting side-deck panels that conceal the cleats and fender storage; the vertical locker that houses the sliding plastic canvas that encircles the cockpit on a moment's notice. The galley bin is located beneath the cockpit bench and even the sunroof tucks away neatly inside the wheelhouse hard top.

The interior features further touches of design quality, including a raised navigator's seat that converts into part of the dining area and a couple of fold-out additional stools. In fact it is the eventual accumulation of detail that elevates the Marex 375 above and beyond almost any other comparable model.
