Congratulations and Welcome Aboard!
This Owner’s Guide was designed to acquaint you with the safe, proper operation and maintenance of
your new yacht and its systems. Your rst duty as Captain of your new Marquis yacht should be to read
your Owner’s Guide and all manufacturer-supplied operating and maintenance instructions found within
your Owner’s Information kit.
Be sure to mail in all manufacturer registrations and warranty cards to validate your Marquis Yachts' and
OEM warranties. These warranty cards have been assembled and are contained in the OEM information
packets within your Owner’s Information kit. Marquis Yachts is proud to be supported by an exclusive
network of experienced and knowledgeable dealers. If you have any questions regarding your new yacht
including warranty please contact your selling dealer. Please read all of your warranties carefully and
remember that your selling dealer is your point of contact for all questions and warranty issues.
If you’re new to yachting, learn the proper rules of seamanship to ensure the safety of your passengers.
Refer to Chapman’s Piloting, Seamanship and Small Yacht Handling and attend a safe yachting class
offered by the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, United States Power Squadron, or any enterprise experienced
in conducting safe yachting courses.
Thank you for choosing Marquis Yachts. We’re condent your new yacht will provide you and your family
with years of enjoyable cruising.
