The Marex 440 Gourmet Cruiser was nominated for the Motor Boat Awards — the trophies so demanding that every candidate must complete a full independent sea trial before judging begins.
That trial-first format is precisely why the nomination mattered: it meant the British judging panel had already driven the flagship hard and rated what they found, from the helm to the class-leading galley.
The nomination converted into a category win weeks later, kicking off the most decorated season in the shipyard's fifty-year history. Every 440 delivered to Australia carries that same specification — award-season pedigree as standard.
