Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation

Both the Marquis Yachts 560 2012 and the Marquis Yachts 720 Tri-Deck 2011 are semi-displacement designs, both built in fibreglass, so the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Marquis Yachts 720 Tri-Deck 2011 measures 72,1 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 14,7 additional feet of deck space compared to the Marquis Yachts 560 2012 at 57,4 feet (2012). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Marquis Yachts 720 Tri-Deck 2011 tips the scales at 120 200 lbs - 58 200 lbs less than the Marquis Yachts 560 2012 at 62 000 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
Bottom line: The Marquis Yachts 720 Tri-Deck 2011 at 72,1 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Marquis Yachts 560 2012 at 57,4 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking - a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
