Our latest project, the Marex 330 Scandinavia, just won the "Oscar of the seas" award, for the best European powerboat of 2022, held every January in Dusseldorf.

Our little gem in the length of only 10.5 m, packed with too many features to count, has proved to the judges, that it can hold its ground against even much larger boats, since it won in the category of up to 14 m of length.

Big congrats to all of those, who were involved. You know who you are.

Our Marex 330 Scandinavia just won the BoB award in the category Best for Family!

Congratulations to the Marex team and to my friend Rene Konrad, who also worked on this project during all its design and engineering stages.

Where to begin....

Well, it was one of those projects, that took its time, since it was going through all the design phases multiple times, implementing quite a few last minute changes and adding a lot, and i do mean a lot, of extra features for a boat this size, while also tackling the pandemic, which meant we had to work from home for a while.

But we pushed through and gave this boat all of our smarts and all of our love.
The result is a boat in the length just below 10 m with too many features to explain them all, so here is a list:
- Full width sliding door in the cockpit
- Curtain canopy
- Double dashboard
- Pilot door!
- Full width sunroofs
- Grill, longer optional platform, foldable davits, tilting bench, roof rack, fender storage, solar roof...

The pilot door was a proper challenge.
We didn’t just make it work, but we made it also look good while opened or closed.

The hull was designed from scratch, implementing the best of our 3D design expertise.
We do hope that all of our hard work will be recognised by the owners and that they will enjoy this boat to the fullest!

Special thanks go to the Marex team in Norway and Lithuania and to my collegue Rene Konrad. We did it! 

We are very proud to announce the arrival of the new boat in the Marex range, the 360 Cabriolet Cruiser.

The prototype is being build right now and it will premiere at the 2019 Dusseldorf Boat Show.

Together with our friends from Marex boats, we have given it our best, to make the new boat as great as possible. The Marex 360 CC is the successor of the old Marex 350 range. We created the largest cockpit area in its class, providing ample space for socializing in the sun and if it gets too hot, various shading solutions can be applied in a matter of seconds.

This boat is available with two different lengths of the bathing platform, while both are seamlessly integrated into the hull form.

Interior is full of natural light and provides good storage in every cabin.
Since this is a Scandinavian boat, standing height was a top priority. We made sure that everywhere you stand, there is at least 192 cm of headroom available.

For those who cherish the time behind the steering wheel the most, we provided excellent front and all-round visibility, complemented with a sliding window on the side and a front deck entrance.
We are also confident, that the performance of the hull will leave nothing to be desired. Its hard to believe, but we obsessed about the hull at the scale down to a millimeter.

We put all of our passion and attention to detail into this boat and we hope that it will be matched with the happiness of the owners.

NIKL is a German surname, originating somewhere in the Schwarzwald area, near Stuttgart.

Can this be the reason, that Germans love our latest project, the Marex 310 Sun Cruiser so much, that they just gave us (Marex and Nikl Design) the GERMAN DESIGN AWARD!

Obviously there is a part of German dedication and attention to detail in my blood and it helped to make that boat better.

Thank you Germany, for such an honorable award!

We could not be prouder. It means that all our effort and sweat is also recognized by the boat community.

A big thank you, goes to E.A. and S.P. and all the guys and girls at the shipyard, who gave their best.

We are all very excited to see it taking shape and making waves very soon.

In the current issue of the Navtika Plus magazine (#15, March-April 2013), you can read a 3 page interview.

http://www.navtikaplus.si/

Kristijan Nikl was invited to have an interview with the national newspaper Delo for “The name of the day”.

"Mr Nikl designed the sophisticated boat Marex 320 Aft Cabin Cruiser in close cooperation with Marex A/S within two years of planning, 3D design and documenting. The greatest experts in this field use only superlatives, when describing the boat."

"His plans for the future include his own design studio. Nikl Design has currently two employees, but Kristijan wants to hire two or three new employees to be able to work on multiple projects simultaneously."

Marex 320 ACC received another award, this time in Dusseldorf.

Each year more than 200 new boat models appear on the market. And only a few of them win in such competitions. Marex 320 ACC won again and it is for the second time this week!

The jury consisted of the testers of the seven leading European powerboat magazines from Norway, Italy, France, Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria and Germany. And they think that Marex 320 ACC "has the best compromise between handling, driving performance, comfort and safety."

»The best of the best from the motor boating world. «

Which are the best boats in the world and the winners of The Motor Boat of the Year Awards 2013 have been announced yesterday (14th of January 2013) at a gala evening in London.

»After intense debate, the boat test teams from Motor Boats Monthly and Motor Boat & Yachting have narrowed down hundreds of craft to a handful of potential winners« and finally judges decided which ten boats deserve these awards.

Marex 320 Aft Cabin Cruiser won this prestigious award in category 'Trawler Yacht & Aft Cabin'.

"Fast, frugal and full of cruising cleverness" are the words on front cover. The boat was tested by Nick Burnham, who also wrote a long article in which he is apparently impressed with "the quality of construction and sheer volume of space".

"Both cabins are so good, that it's hard to pick a master, a far cry from the usual 'one good, one average' cabins of old. Big windows offer a great view out, headroom is off the scale too..."

It is amazing that the word 'compromise' never crops out with this boat, "because the balance between space and pace has been so finaly honed", wrote Mr. Burnham.

"Wide bulwarked side decks, a large bathing platform, double spring cleats, and a large transom locker with built-in fender storage attest to this boat's practical nature."

These are just some of many excellent ratings. You can read more in the last January edition of Motor Boats Monthly.

Here is also a video with Nick Burnham testing the boat.

Our project has been NOMINATED for this prestige award. Thank you all.

The Norwegian journalist Atle Knutsen wrote that with this Marex boat "the key needs of a family were identified when they spend an extended vacation at sea:

Standing height and spaciousness, giant berths, the class most spacious and best toilet and shower facilities, a first class galley, extremely user-friendly and safe deck layout, an exemplary practical canopy that also opens up the patio, the highly social couch around the dinner table - all surrounded by a timeless design."

They were testing the boat and they think "320 ACC set a new standard for the Nordic family boats".

There is much more on the link below:

Marex 320 ACC is featured in the current issue of Motor Boat & Yachting.

Dave Marsh was testing the boat at the Southampton Boat Show and he named the Marex 320 ACC "one of our stars of Southampton". He was very excited and surprised about the fact that this smaller version of Marex 370 ACC has everything its bigger sibling has and even more. This is a mystery to him.

He also said that "a large part of the 320's success is the design of its robust but superbly moulded internal structure which is more shrewdly planned than most I've seen".

Among many others things he was totally amazed with "implausibly roomy engineroom with levels of accessibility that would shame many 50-footers".

There is also a video with Dave Marsh available here:

Marex 320 Aft Cabin Cruiser was one of them, thinks the author of article Alex Smith.

»Marex 320 ACC employs a panoramic aft space to generate the kind of accommodation you rarely see in the sub 35-foot sector. This 28-knot cruiser is another beautifully built Marex, full of sumptuous materials and first-rate workmanship.«

You are welcome to take a look at our new Marex 320 Aft Cabin Cruiser at Southampton International Boat Show where it will be exhibited by Wessex Marine for the first time in UK.

Stand/Berth is M229. See you in Southampton.

Until then, see this new video:

There is a new article about Marex 320 Aft cabin cruiser. Journalist Terje Haugen said that "the cherry on the icing is the aft cabin with its space and views".

You can use this link to see the article:

http://www.klikk.no/motor/baat/article785778.ece

 

There is an extensive article on Baatsans.no about the new Marex 320 ACC, "designed in collaboration with Kristijan Nikl and Espen Aalrud" (Marex). They were simply amazed with all these great new solutions and they think it will be "difficult for other 32 footers (also larger boats) to match". 

Everywhere on the boat there is plenty of space, regardless if we are talking about moving around, the engine room, or storage. "The front cabin has a clever tilted bed, good headroom and the deepest drawers that I've seen in a boat", says the author of the article.

If you are curious what else did he say about the boat, you can read the whole article here:

We are proud to announce, that the new 32 footer from Marex is being build and will be launched next year. Exciting times!
