WHY MARES?
At 58'7" with a 16' beam, MARES delivers the accommodations and equipment expected from a serious luxury motor yacht. Twin MAN V8-900 diesels producing 1,800 combined horsepower, three private staterooms, two heads, a full Sub-Zero-equipped galley and an enclosed air-conditioned flybridge create a yacht equally suited to entertaining, extended stays aboard and coastal cruising.
Add the bow thruster, Raymarine navigation suite, Onan generator, Seafari watermaker, tender davit and extensive JL Audio system, and the equipment list becomes difficult to overlook.
But perhaps the strongest part of MARES' story is independent documentation: her February 2024 professional marine survey rated her “ABOVE AVERAGE CONDITION,” with an estimated $515,000 fair market value and $2.1 million replacement cost.
Offered at $500,000
