The Marquis is a long single-hull sailboat with a [[:wp:Bermuda rig|Bermuda rig]] and propulsion of the motor in the rear, features that have not changed much since its introduction. Despite its design, the ship's sails are of no practical use as they are down and completely rolled up. | The Marquis is a long single-hull sailboat with a [[:wp:Bermuda rig|Bermuda rig]] and propulsion of the motor in the rear, features that have not changed much since its introduction.

While the Marquis in pre-GTA IV games have long been depicted as a leisure sailboat, the GTA IV rendition of the Marquis sports a more luxurious design with a windowed cabin. In comparison to the former's blocky design, GTA IV rendition is also sleeker and modernized. | While the Marquis in pre-GTA IV games have long been depicted as a leisure sailboat, the GTA IV rendition of the Marquis sports a more luxurious design with a windowed cabin.

===Performance=== | |||
While the Marquis posses a streamlined hull and is common in various locations of the games, the boat is significantly slow with poor speed and acceleration (due to its underwhelming motor) and has stiff controls, making it one of the worst watercraft to commandeer in all its appearances. | |||
