Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Marquis Yachts 630 Sport Yacht 2011 vs Marquis Yachts 720 Fly Bridge 2012: Same Brand, Different Boat
The Marquis Yachts 630 Sport Yacht 2011 is a deep-V design and the Marquis Yachts 720 Fly Bridge 2012 is a semi-displacement design, so you're likely deciding between two noticeably different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Marquis Yachts 720 Fly Bridge 2012 measures 72,1 feet overall (2012), giving it roughly 6,4 additional feet of deck space compared to the Marquis Yachts 630 Sport Yacht 2011 at 65,7 feet (2011). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Marquis Yachts 720 Fly Bridge 2012 tips the scales at 115 200 lbs - 43 700 lbs less than the Marquis Yachts 630 Sport Yacht 2011 at 71 500 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.
Both boats are rated for 20 passengers - a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
Bottom line: The Marquis Yachts 720 Fly Bridge 2012 at 72,1 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Marquis Yachts 630 Sport Yacht 2011 at 65,7 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.
