Marex presents its new web site. Marex was founded in 1973 by Eyvin Aalrud in Rykene, with the name coming from the Latin words Mare-Rex which means King of the Sea. In its first year Marex debuted the 24 Sun Cab model, which was also offered in a 24 Sun Fun variant by the end of that year. The first Marex 24 Sun Cab model will be produced for fourteen years selling 432 units, its second best sold model to date following the 21 Flexi from the eighties till 2001 which sold in 593 units. In 1979 Marex suffers a set back as its Rykene factory is destroyed by a fire, with Eyvin relocating in Fevik, a previous Fjord Boats factory. In 1996 Marex started a cooperation with Saulius Pajarskas and Raimondas Siugzdinis who had a small boat production facility in Kaunas, Lithuania. This was started with the 270 Estremo model, but eventually all the production will be moved to the Baltic state. Marex has always been a family holding and continues as at today with this philosophy with Eyvin sons, Espen and Thomas Aalrud taking over the company helm in 2009. Marex has up till today build over 3500 boats in over thirty different models, and received twelve awards. Today Marex offers seven models from nine to twelve meters, starting with the 310 Sun Cruiser and go up to 440, with its latest model being the 440 Scandinavia arriving in early 2025.
