"The Garlic" is a 2003 Marlow 70' motor yacht offered for sale at $599,000, lying Fort Lauderdale, Florida. South Florida is the deepest brokerage market in the world for large motor yachts, and condition separates the good buys from the money pits - which is why independent buyer representation matters more here than anywhere.
Power is twin 3406, 800 hp each, showing 2,603 hours. She cruises around 10 knots and tops out near 19 knots, carrying 1,760 gallons of fuel.
Accommodations run to 3 staterooms.
Highlights
What sets this hull apart on today's market.
Greg Gaus has closed superyacht sales up to 164 feet, including the Westport 164 "Boardwalk" and the Westport 125 "Lion's Den", after 20+ years as a professional captain running vessels of this class. That is the lens every Double G buyer gets on this listing: what the hull is really worth, what the survey should focus on, and how she compares with every sistership currently for sale.

“
The Marlow Explorer is one of the most well known examples of an open ocean cruising vessel and “The Garlic” is a classic boat that is mechanically sound and ready for cruising. She has relatively low hours compared to her competitors and she is priced more attractively than anything else on the market.Listing description · YATCO MLS

What does it cost to run a 70-foot motor yacht?
As of 2026, industry estimates for a crewed 70-footer typically run mid to high six figures per year, with a crew of roughly four to six, covering crew, fuel, insurance, dockage, and maintenance. Greg can build a realistic operating budget for this yacht before you offer.
Where can I see "The Garlic"?
She is lying in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and shows by appointment through your broker. Contact Double G Yacht Sales to arrange a private showing.
How does the purchase process work?
Accepted offer, then a survey and sea trial contingency of typically 7 to 14 days. Greg - a licensed captain with 20+ years at sea - attends the survey and sea trial personally and manages everything through closing.
How much is Florida sales tax on a yacht?
Florida charges 6% sales tax on boats but caps the total at $18,000 per vessel regardless of price - one of the most favorable regimes in the US. Out-of-state buyers who remove the vessel within the statutory window may qualify for an exemption.
How fast is she, and what is the range?
Cruise around 10 knots, top speed about 19 knots and 1,760 gallons of fuel with twin 3406, 800 hp each - comfortable Florida-Bahamas legs and seasonal Caribbean runs.
