The 2026 Marlow Rendezvous brought more than 100 owners, family members, sponsors, speakers, and entertainers to Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo, Florida, to celebrate the boating lifestyle that defines the Marlow community. The gathering carried on a tradition that ranks among the most anticipated dates on the Marlow calendar — one we also covered in our 2025 Ocean Reef Spring Rendezvous recap.
As yachts arrived throughout the week, the marina turned into a showcase of Marlow craftsmanship. A welcome reception and dinner opened the event.

What Did Owners Learn at the 2026 Marlow Rendezvous?
Industry experts and marine service providers led seminars and presentations through the week. They shared updates on propulsion systems, onboard connectivity, navigation technologies, and yacht maintenance best practices.
Seven Christenings at Ocean Reef Club
Beyond the educational program, participants took advantage of recreational activities that showed off the amenities of Ocean Reef Club. The week also brought seven christenings, each one a new Marlow joining the fleet.
Why Do New Owners Value the Marlow Rendezvous?
For many attendees, the most appreciated part of the rendezvous happened on the docks and around the dinner tables. Prospective and newer owners talked directly with veteran Marlow owners, who offered valuable perspective on ownership, cruising destinations, and the features that make Marlow yachts distinctive — from the Marlow 62E to the 70E MkII and the Avalon 65.
Evenings of Dinners, Awards, and Friendship
Themed dinners, entertainment, and awards presentations filled the evenings, celebrating the spirit of adventure and friendship behind decades of Marlow rendezvous, including the 26th Spring Rendezvous.
More than an owners’ gathering, the rendezvous serves as a yearly reminder that the Marlow experience reaches far beyond the yachts themselves. Relationships, shared experiences, and a collective passion for exploring the water hold it together.
