History and shipyard
Marex began as a small family boatyard on Norway’s south coast and was established by Eyvin Aalrud in 1973. In 1989, ownership passed to his sons, Thomas and Espen, who continued to develop the business as a family company. The brand’s production later moved gradually from Norway to Lithuania, where Marex operates a modern shipyard in Kaunas. The company is known for combining Norwegian design heritage with industrial-scale boatbuilding.

Its earlier range included a wider mix of models, while later production focused more tightly on cabin cruisers and aft-cabin boats. The builder’s boats are positioned around usability, comfort, and efficient use of space, which has made the brand particularly visible in the premium Scandinavian cruising segment. The company’s current range includes models such as the 310 Sun Cruiser, 375, and 370 ACC.
