The Marex 440 Gourmet Cruiser delivers Italian boat-building tradition with practical features for Canadian boaters. This 42-foot cruiser focuses on what serious entertainers need: a well-designed galley, smart social spaces, and Italian build quality.
The attention to detail shows immediately when you step aboard. Hand-finished woodwork and carefully planned entertaining areas make this boat ideal for owners who want to create memorable experiences on the water with family and friends.
Italian Design Shows in Every Detail
Marex builds each 440 Gourmet Cruiser in their Italian facility using traditional methods with modern materials. The hull uses hand-laid fibreglass with vinylester resin in key areas for long-term durability in Canadian conditions.
The woodwork features genuine teak and cherry, finished by skilled craftsmen. Every joint fits precisely, and the hardware uses marine-grade stainless steel built to handle years of use. The helm station includes leather seating and instrument panels that combine analog gauges with modern electronics.
The Gourmet Galley Advantage
The galley on the Marex 440 earns its “Gourmet Cruiser” name with features that let you prepare real meals while entertaining guests. The full-size refrigerator and separate freezer provide space for extended trips. The three-burner cooktop and convection oven handle everything from morning coffee to dinner for eight people.
Key galley features include:
- Solid-surface counters that resist stains and scratches
- Deep sink with pull-out faucet for easy cleanup
- Dedicated storage for dishes, glassware, and cooking equipment
- Everything secured for rough water conditions
The galley design keeps the cook connected to guests in the main salon. Meal preparation becomes part of the social experience rather than isolating the chef below deck.
Entertainment Spaces Built for Hosting
The main salon offers comfortable seating for eight adults around a dining table that converts to a cocktail table. Large windows provide natural light and water views from every seat. The overhead hatch opens to connect the interior with the aft cockpit.
The aft cockpit features an L-shaped seating area with storage underneath and a wet bar with ice maker and refrigerated drink storage. The transom opens to create a swim platform for water sports or swimming on hot summer days.
Below deck, the forward stateroom includes a queen-size berth with storage and an en-suite head with separate shower. The guest cabin features twin berths and access to the day head, giving overnight guests privacy and comfort.
Performance Built for Canadian Waters
Twin diesel engines provide the power needed for Canadian lakes and coastal waters. The hull design offers a smooth ride in choppy conditions while maintaining fuel efficiency for longer cruises. The bow thruster makes docking easier in tight marina spaces or challenging wind conditions.
The helm station provides clear visibility and includes electronics for safe navigation: GPS chartplotter, depth sounder, and VHF radio. Engine monitoring displays track all systems, and the autopilot reduces fatigue on longer runs.
