What is on offer?

Built by the New Zealand shipyard Alloy Yachts in 2004, the 32.97 metre sloop Marae was designed in her entirety by Ted Fontaine of the Fontaine Design Group. Undergoing two extensive refits in 2009 and 2014, she is presented in excellent condition.

On board she accommodates up to six guests in two double and one twin suite, with room for six additional guests during the day. A total of four crew are also accommodated for on board, including a chef.

Why do we think this is such a good deal?

Commenting on their passion for Marae as well as what exactly propels chartering the vessel to new heights, Marae’s owners highlight the experienced crew on board: “While we do of course have a beautiful yacht to charter, it is our world class crew that really brings the magic to life for our charter clients,” says Mark and Mary Shores. “Captain Frank Ficken, his wife Sue, our chef, Dylan Rowe Clark, our engineer and Maggie Fowler, our stew, are world class.”

As one of the few yachts available to charter for the upcoming edition of the America’s Cup with a berth alongside the teams in the race village with unprecedented VIP access to briefings, award ceremonies etc., a charter experience on board Marae promises to be a unique and memorable undertaking.
