PIVOT

Marlow Yachts and Douglas Zurn collaborated on PIVOT's exterior design in 2012, creating a 30-meter platform purpose-built for extended passages through diverse cruising grounds. Her substantial 166-gross-ton displacement and proven hull form make her equally suited to the protected waters of the Mediterranean's island chains and the more demanding conditions found crossing the Atlantic or exploring remote Pacific archipelagos. The yacht's beam of just over six meters provides stability in open water while maintaining the agility needed for navigating narrow channels and tucked-away anchorages. PIVOT accommodates six guests with a professional crew of four, establishing the ideal ratio for personalized service during longer voyages. The Marlow Yachts design team handled both naval architecture and interior styling, ensuring the yacht's systems and spaces work in harmony for extended time aboard. This integrated approach proves particularly valuable when spending weeks exploring island groups or coastal regions where self-sufficiency becomes paramount. Her proportions and construction reflect Marlow's focus on capable ocean-going vessels rather than dock-bound showpieces. PIVOT performs best when her itinerary includes substantial passages between destinations, whether threading through the Caribbean's varied islands, following the Turkish coast's ancient harbors, or exploring the fjords and remote bays that reward yachts built for serious cruising rather than merely arriving in style.
