About Virginia Sea
A fresh haul-out, a stabiliser service and new engine exhaust in 2024 tell a clear story about Virginia Sea: this is a 2016 Marlow that has been kept current rather than left to drift. Her Explorer-series hull was built for long-range comfort, and eight years on she still reads as ready rather than tired. For a buyer weighing a used explorer yacht, the gap between her build year and her last workshop visit is the number worth watching.
Build and provenance
Marlow built her as an Explorer-series motor yacht, a fibreglass monohull shaped for distance rather than speed, and in 2024 she went through a round of mechanical care: new exhaust on both engines, new electronics, and a haul-out with a stabiliser and bottom service. None of that changes what Virginia Sea is, an established long-range Marlow, but it does mean a coming survey is looking at recent work rather than eight-year-old systems.
Layout and accommodation
Ten guests sleep across four staterooms: a full-beam master with a king bed, a VIP cabin with a king and twin bunks, and two further twin cabins, all finished in teak and ebony satin woodwork. A separate cabin sleeps the four crew who run her, kept apart from the guest decks. Bow and stern thrusters make close-quarters work straightforward for whoever takes the helm.
Performance and engineering
Twin Caterpillar engines rated at 1,900 hp give her a 27-knot top speed and a 23-knot cruise, quick for a yacht built around range rather than sprint. Two 32kW Kohler generators keep the systems running at anchor without shore power, and a listed range beyond 1,500 nautical miles means real distance between fuel stops rather than a hop between marinas. A Yacht Controller system takes the guesswork out of docking her alone.
Where she lies and how to see her
Virginia Sea lies in Newport, USA, easily reached for a viewing. We arrange one whenever a buyer is ready and are there for it ourselves. Once an offer is accepted, a marine survey and a sea trial follow before anything closes.

Buying Costs
- Survey
- A buyer normally commissions a condition survey, and a sea trial, once an offer is accepted and before the sale becomes unconditional. The cost depends on her size and on where she is lifted, and it is the buyer who appoints the surveyor.
- Registration and flag
- She will be registered on a flag of the buyer's choosing, which carries its own fees and its own survey and crew requirements. Where the yacht is owned through a company, the shares rather than the vessel may change hands, which changes what is payable.
- VAT and import
- Whether VAT is due, and where, depends on the yacht's current status, her flag, the buyer's residency and where she is delivered. Where the seller has stated her VAT status, it is shown with the asking price on her page, and it is confirmed in writing before an offer is made.
- Running costs
- Crew, berthing, insurance, class and annual maintenance continue from the day she is yours. A yacht that is also chartered earns against them, and we will set out what her season has actually returned before you commit.
Estimated running costs for a yacht of her size are set out on the size page: What a yacht of 24 to 30 m costs to run.
