The Surprise of His Life

• By Kim Kavin
• Updated: April 2, 2016

The box was wrapped in beautiful paper and waiting on the table when the father walked through the door. His wife and their adult children knew what was inside. They had kept it a secret for months. They gathered around, trying to hide their grins as they wished him a happy 60th birthday. The family held its collective breath as he opened the lid. A person they loved dearly was about to realize his lifelong dream.

The first thing the father saw was an 11-by-14 glossy photo. He picked it up and swooned over the lovely, traditional lines of the 108-foot Alloy Marae . Then he saw the Marae ball cap and polo shirt, both in his size. They were atop a bed of brochures for the cruising grounds in and around Newport, Rhode Island.

“You bought me a yacht?” he shrieked, turning wide-eyed to his wife while mentally calculating the family finances.

“He took a deep breath to realize we only chartered it for a couple of days, which was a much different financial investment,” she recalls with a laugh. “And then he started to look through everything, and he was so excited. He went right to the computer and started to look at Narragansett Bay, to understand whether he could get to Block Island, what would we do, where would we go. He spent the next five weeks making notes about everything, being very methodical about what he wanted to accomplish.”

Marae, at a lowest weekly base rate of $54,000 in New England, was a larger sailing yacht than she had planned for the family’s first-ever charter. But when she’d called Nicholson Yachts and told the broker that her husband stood 6-foot-5 — and that one son was 6-foot-4 while another was nearly 6-foot-10 — the broker advised skipping the smaller options.

And so the family found themselves walking up the dock the first night of their charter, trying to spot the yacht’s mast against the nighttime stars.

“The mast was illuminated in the dark sky. We originally thought it was a cell tower,” the wife says. “We had no idea the yacht was going to be as big as she was. We just could not believe how much space there was — and again, we’re talking about very big people.”

They didn’t even notice the weather. Capt. Frank Ficken had changed the pickup spot to the Hinckley facility in Portsmouth because winds in the 30s were blowing out of the north. Narragansett Bay already had gust-driven 2-footers rolling through the scenic anchorage off Goat Island in Newport. He wanted to ease the first-time sailors in slowly, until they could get used to being aboard.

The family didn’t realize that sleeping tied to the dock that night probably saved them a good deal of motion sickness. They instead were thrilled to cast off in the next morning’s daylight, when they could see everything happening all around them.

“The first morning, we weren’t sailing very fast, just moving along nicely, but the boat was pretty stable,” Ficken recalls. “We didn’t bury the rail or anything. We were probably doing 7 or 8 knots when we probably could’ve been doing 12 if we’d been with the owner. The next day, we put up a little more sail, then more the next day. At that point, we were sailing like they were lifelong sailors. They were driving the boat, we buried the rail — they had a blast.”

Ficken pointed the bow toward Block Island, which offered smaller crowds than Martha’s Vineyard or Nantucket during the holiday weekend. When the family arrived, they rented bicycles. The wife had thought that seeing the island would be the best part of the trip.

“We were out there for about two hours, and we looked at each other and said, ‘What the hell are we doing this for?’” she recalls. “We turned around and went back to use the toys on the boat, the rafts, the paddleboards — we just wanted to be on the boat.”

Ficken remembers that same moment, only from the children’s point of view. He watched them as they watched their parents acting like teenagers, taking advantage of every water toy Marae carries.

“They couldn’t believe their mom was riding on the inflatable tube behind the tender,” Ficken says. “The sons were on the aft deck, watching and saying, ‘What are the odds that we would ever see mom doing that? One in a million?’ They couldn’t believe the fun she was having.”

The wife, being a first-time charterer, hadn’t asked for a birthday party for her husband. “I am not familiar with what goes on,” she says, “and I didn’t want to ask for any special acknowledgment.”

Nonetheless, chef Sue Ficken (Frank’s wife) and Marae’s crew arranged for balloons, happy birthday signs and, of course, a cake: Black Forest double-chocolate with imported black cherries, shaved chocolate and buttercream frosting.

“The presentation on the tabletop — I could go on for an hour,” the wife says. “We were transformed out of ourselves when we were on that boat. The five of us were someplace else.”

They enjoyed that feeling underway too, as they got comfortable with the motion of the yacht through the water. Experienced sailors can forget how it feels the first time you catch a good gust, look out toward the horizon and realize it’s just you, the yacht and the elements.

For this family, that moment was every bit as awe-inspiring as the husband and wife had always dreamed it would be.

“There’s a tactile experience of watching those sails unfurl, the light that comes through, the fresh air in your hair, the boat moving,” the wife says. “You feel so small against the grandeur of an unfurled sail. You’re looking up, and you just cannot believe you’re in the middle of this. If you’re not a person who is used to this, and this is new for you, you think, ‘I’ve done everything. I’ve gotten on jets. I’ve gone on cruises. I’ve been all over the world.’ You think nothing can really surprise you until you stand there and feel all that going on around you. There is nothing like it. I’ve had a very blessed life. I’ve had a lot of amazing experiences. Nothing can compare to the feeling of standing on that boat and sailing along.”

While the family’s finances don’t allow for this type of experience every year, she’s already saving to surprise her husband and family with another go. One day aboard, she heard the captain say in passing that Maine has a beautiful coastline.

The comment is stuck in her mind, she says, because one thing she learned as a first-time charterer is to trust the experts. Get the bigger yacht if your sons are tall. Trust that the crew will make your husband’s birthday amazing. Don’t dream of far-flung places when something stunning is waiting to be explored close to home.

“I figure, you only go around one time. We’re going to do it,” she says. “My kids are still talking about it, and my husband — it will always be etched in our hearts as one of the most extraordinary experiences of our lives.”

Luxury Sailing Yacht MARAE charter brief: MARAE (32.9m / 108’), formerly Paraiso, is a custom-built luxury sailing sloop, launched by the New Zealand based Shipyard Alloy Yachts back in 2004. Most recently refitted in 2009 and 2014, she is primarily an elegant sailing yacht with friendly and experienced crew, which offers both luxury accommodation as well as stylish family sailing holidays and adventurous holiday experience. Designed by Ted Fontaine Design Group she combines traditional, classic design with modern facilities, clean lines and open deck spaces with two cockpit areas.   MARAE features all the latest sailing gear, communications and entertainment systems on board and is always kept in excellent, yacht charter ready condition. MARAE's super yacht crew of up to four are usually offering luxury crewed charter itineraries around the New England and Maine regions of USA throughout the summer and the East CARIBBEAN during the season in the winter months. Tip:   Super yacht MARAE has a flexible draught which can go down from her usual 7.5m draft, she can raise it to only 2.15m.  This raising centre board enables the yacht to access shallower anchorages which many other yachts in this range may have to avoid.

About Luxury Sailing Yacht MARAE: MARAE is a luxury sailing yacht offered for yacht charters in the Mediterranean during summer months and the East Caribbean in the winter yacht charter season. This very elegant super sail yacht must be seen to fully appreciate her, and in terms of yacht charter she is a great value. Having won the ‘’Best Sailing Yacht’’ award at the International Superyacht Design Award in 2004 as the best 108’ Pilothouse Sloop, this MCA and Lloyds registered boat is a genuinely unique yacht charter proposition in the Atlantic and the Caribbean. The name Marae, pronounced as ‘Mar-eye’, has origins in the native New Zealand Maori tribe and it means a special meeting place for family and friends.  As Alloy Yachts are New Zealand based shipyard, the name is a genuinely natural fit. One of the best features of the yacht is a private aft cockpit on deck, which has a collapsible sprayhood, providing direct access to the master suite down below. The cockpit area is equipped with large cushions for lounging and it can also comfortably seat all guests for lovely al-fresco meals and panoramic views of the surrounding coastline during any of your super yacht charter cruises and whatever yacht charter itinerary is chosen. At the stern, a fold-out section provides comfortable steps and a useful swim platform for easy access to the water. Moving forward from the stern are the port and starboard steering stations, followed by one of MARAE's best features - a deck salon with a U-shaped sofa to port, an L-shaped one to starboard and hi-lo table for meals and cocktails. Side windows slide open and a removable aft Isenglass curtain protects against the elements. Very useful captive winches keep MARAE's sweeping teak decks free of clutter, while the protected helm station is located to starboard. In the interior of MARAE, stained walnut woodwork used throughout is complemented by luxurious fabrics and crisp white bed linens, Down duvets and Down pillows in the staterooms. The upper saloon has a full wet bar with stools and a leather U-shaped sofa surrounding a coffee table that converts into a comfortable lounging area. The views from here also great, thus the area is the best alternative to the outside areas on deck. The main saloon has richly upholstered sofas with deep cushions, a coffee table and dining table with seating for six. About super yacht crew on board of SY MARAE: Captain Frank Ficken is a US captain and has extensive sailing experience in the Caribbean as well as the Mediterranean. He is very easy going and particularly happy to allow clients to help sail MARAE whenever this is possible or when the clients are keen to switch from enjoying their luxury yacht charter experience for an adventurous sailing. His wife Sue is chef on board and as Frank, she also worked on board large yachts before joining Marael. She is very flexible in her cooking style and likes to create unique, imaginative meals to suit different clients on board. Her desserts are a treat and her provisioning experience in all major yacht charter ports, second to none.   Dyland and Renee complet the crew of four on board of this yacht, and both are experienced first mate sailors/engineer (Dyland) and Stewardess (Renee) who are on board of luxury yachts for a number of years now.

My life in boats: Mark and Mary Shores, owners of Marae

Work keeps superyacht owners Mark and Mary Shores in Texas but they escape when they can to the Caribbean in winter or Newport in summer on their 33 metre sloop Marae ...

Marae , in the Maori culture of New Zealand where the boat was built, is a word that means a special place for meeting with family and friends. We have three children and now grandchildren and everyone loves to sail.

Our previous Little Harbor just wasn’t large enough to fit everyone and we fell in love with this boat the minute we saw it. She is a romantic, cosy yacht, just classic, homey, warm and inviting, everything a yacht should be.

The most favourable place on the boat is the pilothouse cockpit. When Mark is aboard he loves to take the helm and we can sit in the cockpit with family and friends and still have a conversation with him. We often have lunch there or cocktail hour and, if it is a beautiful evening, we enjoy sitting there for dinner – it’s just a special place.

We’ve been sailors from way back when and it gets in your blood. Our first memory of sailing goes back to when we started dating back in Maryland where we grew up. Mark had an 11ft Sea Snark and we would take it out on Chesapeake Bay.

We bought our first serious boat after we were married in 1978, a 24ft Rainbow Weekender, and gradually the boats grew: we had a Cal25, then a J29, a Tartan4100 and the Little Harbor 60 before we bought Marae . Every sailor is competitive and we would like to do the Candy Store Cup in Newport – we like the race’s relaxed format. But we also take safety seriously, and every time we go aboard we have a safety demonstration, even with the dinghy and the toys.

Which toys get the most use depends on who is visiting. With my sons it would be the Lasers; my daughter and son-in-law enjoy paddleboarding, and if it is a girls’ weekend, it’s the island, which fits eight people; we have music, the stewards bring out drinks, it’s great.

One of the best anchorages you could imagine is Somes Sound in the lower mid-section of Mount Desert Island in Maine. It is so pristine and protected with huge cliffs on each side, classic Maine scenery. Once when we were sailing back from Maine on an early September morning, we found ourselves among pods and pods of humpback whales, an incredible experience.

In winter, our absolute favourite place is the British Virgin Islands . We have been going there since 1981 and yet we still discover new places.

LUXURY CREWED YACHT CHARTERS IN THE CARIBBEAN

“I just wanted to thank you for the greatest trip of a life time!!

This trip out did our greatest expectations! The crew was amazing, tailoring to our every wish. The food was above 5 star and it was incredible to us how this could be accomplished with such a small kitchen. Each day was better than the next and we have never been more relaxed in our lives. If anyone ever needs a reference please do not hesitate to have them call us. I hope one day we can take this trip again.
