2019 Marlow Explorer 49E – “Magic Jeannie”

Exceptional Long-Range Cruising Yacht | 2025 Sleipner Vector Fin Stabilizers | Twin Cummins QSM11 Diesels | September 2026 Survey

Discover the exceptional craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and cruising capabilities of Magic Jeannie, a beautifully appointed 2019 Marlow Explorer 49E. Combining the accommodations and presence of a nearly 60-foot motor yacht with the versatility and efficiency of Marlow's renowned semi-displacement hull, this yacht represents an outstanding opportunity for the discerning cruising enthusiast.

Designed for serious passage making without sacrificing comfort, Magic Jeannie offers an ideal platform for exploring the Great Lakes, completing the Great Loop, cruising the Intracoastal Waterway, or enjoying extended adventures along the coast.

One of her most significant enhancements is the addition of a Sleipner (Side-Power) SPS40E electric stabilization system with Vector Fins completed in 2025. This substantial upgrade delivers improved comfort and roll reduction while underway.

Powered by twin Cummins QSM11 705 HP diesel engines, Magic Jeannie offers confident performance, excellent maneuverability, and the flexibility to cruise efficiently at displacement speeds or increase speed when conditions and schedules warrant.

Her current owners have also invested in important mechanical maintenance, including overhauling the engine aftercoolers and heat exchangers and replacing the transmission seals in 2023. A comprehensive marine survey was conducted in September 2026, including an in-water inspection, trial run, and out-of-water hull inspection.

The spacious main salon features opposing upholstered settees, abundant storage, a large flat-screen television, and a beverage refrigerator. Large windows provide panoramic views and fill the interior with natural light, while the comfortable seating arrangement makes the salon equally suited for entertaining guests or relaxing after a day underway.

Adjacent to the galley, the elevated dining area features a beautifully finished teak table surrounded by comfortable U-shaped seating.

Below deck, Magic Jeannie features two generously sized staterooms, two heads with separate stall showers, and additional sleeping accommodations.

The master suite offers a king-size berth, extensive built-in storage, cedar-lined hanging lockers, vanity space, and a private head. The forward VIP stateroom provides comfortable guest accommodations with additional berths, generous storage, and convenient access to the second head.

A particularly desirable feature is the dedicated laundry and utility room, complete with full-size Asko washer and dryer, additional freezer capacity, and direct access to the engine room. This practical arrangement is especially valuable for owners planning extended cruising or living aboard for significant portions of the season.

Semi-Enclosed Flybridge & Outdoor Living

The semi-enclosed flybridge is one of the defining features of this Marlow Explorer 49E.

Protected by a substantial fiberglass hardtop and surrounded by clear enclosure panels, the bridge provides excellent visibility and protection from the elements. Dedicated air conditioning makes this an exceptionally comfortable operating station throughout changing weather conditions.

Twin Pompanette helm chairs, additional guest seating, and a comprehensive navigation suite create an inviting command center where owners and guests can enjoy the journey together.

The aft flybridge deck provides additional entertaining space and accommodates the hydraulic rotating davit for tender storage.

Below, the covered aft cockpit features built-in seating, convenient access to the swim platform, port and starboard boarding gates, and an additional docking control station. Wide protected side decks, substantial stainless steel railings, and the Portuguese bridge arrangement provide secure movement throughout the yacht.

Performance, Stabilization & Handling

Marlow's innovative composite construction and proprietary Velocijet Strut Keel design contribute to an efficient, capable cruising platform. The hull incorporates advanced composite materials and Marlow's resin-infusion construction process to achieve a combination of strength, performance, and efficiency.

Twin Cummins QSM11 diesel engines provide a combined 1,410 HP, offering impressive versatility for a yacht of this size.

During the September 2026 trial run, the surveyor recorded approximately 23.9 MPH at wide-open throttle, demonstrating the vessel's ability to operate beyond traditional displacement speeds.

The 2025 installation of the Sleipner SPS40E electric stabilizer system with Vector Fins is a particularly noteworthy addition. Designed to significantly reduce vessel roll, this advanced stabilization technology provides an enhanced cruising experience and improved comfort.

Combined with bow and stern thrusters, and the Yacht Controller wireless maneuvering system, Magic Jeannie offers an impressive collection of features designed to make operating and docking a yacht of this size stress free.
