Marten Marine was founded in New Zealand by Steve Marten in 1972.

From its inception, Marten Marine established an international reputation for composite yacht construction ranging from luxurious cruising yachts through to America's Cup and Whitbread challengers.   

Marten Yachts, a brand of Marten Marine, was born in the year 2000.  It evolved through its construction accomplishments with advanced technologies and continual innovation  to become a leading brand of premium performance cruising yachts.  

In August 2005, Azzura Marine added the Marten Yachts range to its already impressive marine interests in Australia.  Steve Marten's vision combined with Azzura Marine's depth of knowledge and wealth of experience makes Marten Yachts unique.  This unification of the common philosophies, commitment and dedication leads to the finest detail and quality of each vessel built.  

Today Marten Yachts has entered the new generation market sector of the 'cruiser racer'.  Designed by Reichel/Pugh, the Marten Yachts series of performance cruising yachts is committed to revolutionising the nature of thoroughbred race performers by providing the definitive luxury cruising experience.  All yachts are as impressive inside as they are outside.   

Unlike recent trends towards pure racing and one design, Marten Yachts maintains its values of performance based hull designs, seaworthy construction and well appointed interiors.  

A Marten Yacht is not just a yacht, but a lifestyle.
  
Marten Yachts is a global company setting global standards with the highest level of brand integrity.
