Over the last 15 years every single new model that Marex has introduced has been at the forefront of winning industry awards – surely no single brand can match these plaudits. Since Espen & Thomas Aalrud took over the reigns from their father and developed the modern range of current craft every new model has been showered with awards and nominations.
In addition to all of the European awards, just to track the UK awards alone presented by Motorboat & Yachting the Role of Honour includes many ground-breaking moments.
