Marquis Yachts 40 SC 2008 vs Marquis Yachts 720 Fly Bridge 2012 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Marquis Yachts 40 SC 2008 vs Marquis Yachts 720 Fly Bridge 2012 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.

Engine data for the Marquis Yachts 720 Fly Bridge 2012 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Marquis Yachts 720 Fly Bridge 2012 carries 13 gallons versus 3 gallons in the Marquis Yachts 40 SC 2008.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Marquis Yachts 720 Fly Bridge 2012 is rated for 20 passengers, while the Marquis Yachts 40 SC 2008 caps at 12. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Marquis Yachts 720 Fly Bridge 2012 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Marquis Yachts 720 Fly Bridge 2012 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 20 passengers and at 72,1 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably.
