Marlow Yachts LTD Becomes NMMA Certified

Marlow Yachts LTD has been certified under the National Marine Manufacturers Association’s Certification Program. While all boats in the United States must meet U.S. Coast Guard regulations, boats built by manufacturers participating in the NMMA Certified Program must also meet the more comprehensive standards set by the American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC).

“Earning the ‘NMMA Certified’ designation is a major achievement for Marlow” says Chairman David Marlow. “It is independent evidence for our customers that we’re committed to building a quality product and have the utmost concern for their safety and well being.”

The NMMA Certification program covers approximately 31 categories of standards, which vary by boat type and size and include: fuel systems; ventilation; passenger and weight capacity; horsepower capacity; flotation; electrical systems; navigation lights; warning label placement and guidelines; and steering systems.

The NMMA Certified label on a Marlow Yacht lets you know it was built to meet and often exceed, strict quality and safety standards established by the U.S. Coast Guard and the American Boat & Yacht Council. Certified boats must also pass rigorous annual inspections from independent third-party inspectors. As a result, U.S. Coast Guard statistics show NMMA Certified boats have been shown to be safer than non-certified boats.

Marlow Yachts LTD build yachts in the 37-86-foot range for long-range cruising in weather many yachts stay in port. “We are proud to achieve this important milestone in our continuing pursuit of yachting perfection. Our promise to our customers as we prepare to deliver our 100th hull is to continue to lead the industry in technology, innovation, quality of workmanship and materials with above all else, integrity to our customers, employees and suppliers” said David Marlow, Chairman.
