No deadline pressure, no noise, just water, light and the people you care about.
The Marex 290 Sun Cruiser "LARA" is built for exactly these moments. Scandinavian shipyard quality, a proven hull and the popular twin engine with 2 × 130 hp give you the good feeling of control, safety and reserves when you need it.

A few simple steps – and the atmosphere changes completely.
With the electric bow windlass, every stop becomes a relaxed gesture: press the button, drop anchor, chain runs – you remain in control from the helm. Especially pleasant if you often ride alone or if you don't want the family to handle heavy chains. The bathing platform with ladder turns each bay into a private
