Warren, one of boat builder Henry Luhrs’ two sons, sought to diversify the family business from powerboats to sailboats. His vision was to create high-quality sailboats that were affordable to the average sailor. The company was established in Tom’s River, New Jersey, and quickly made a name for itself in the sailing community.

The first Hunter 25 sailboat was designed by naval architect John Cherubini and built by Warren Luhrs in 1973. Cherubini, who later became Hunter Marine’s head designer, contributed to a series of successful models throughout the 1970s. These models included the Hunter 30, Hunter 27, Hunter 33, Hunter 37, and the Hunter 54, which remains Marlow-Hunter’s largest sailboat to date. The Hunter 54 was also Cherubini’s final design for the company, cementing his legacy in the world of sailing yachts.

Marlow-Hunter quickly gained a reputation for producing reliable and easy-to-handle sailboats. The company was among the first to introduce innovations such as a roller furling headsail and mainsail and to use the B&R rig. Most models were designed for ease of use, with all running rigging leading aft to the cockpit, ensuring safe and simple handling. What set Marlow-Hunter apart was their commitment to delivering a complete, ready-to-sail package with every new boat, giving sailors everything they needed from the start.
