Vitters Cruising Ketch

Marie, is a sophisticated and distinguished sailing yacht which was built by Vitters Shipyard. She is a sister hull to the triple award-winning sailing yacht Adele. Vitters Shipyard, Hoek Design and David Easton were chosen by the owner to create this custom designed 180’ sensational performance yacht. 

The 180 ft. Ketch Marie has an identical hull, keel, rudder and sail plan to Adele but features a more open and airy interior and deck layout. Marie has a large main deckhouse and a vast forward deck which allows the entire deck and interior layout to be tailored to the owner’s taste and requirments. 

A considerable weight savings was achieved through the use of composite rigging and high modulus carbon spars, built by Southern Spars. The hull was constructed in Alustar to ABS and MCA specifications. Marie was delivered in 2010 and has cruised through the Med to the Pacific and back. She just won the coveted St. Barth’s Bucket Regatta and shall be cruising New England for the summer. Meticulous maintenance and constant upgrades to the sails and systems make her ready to cruise and to race to win! Marie is a very special sailing vessel that must be seen to be fully appreciated. Seriously offered for sale to allow the owner to pursue the next project.

Marie’s interior was designed by David Easton Design together with Hoek Design and features the renowned privacy concept. Traditional craftsmanship and modern technology are combined creating a fast, comfortable sailing yacht with a light, contemporary interior highlighted by nautical paintings, antiques, a baby grand piano and magnificent cannons.

The deck is expansive with a custom designed “in deck” cradle on the foredeck to store the tender while keeping a low profile when under sail. With the tender removed, the area is flush with the deck. Alfresco dining is also available on the foredeck. For that extra thrill, take a trip up the mast in the crow’s nest that holds two people for a spectacular view at over 123’ (37.5m).

Aft of the main deckhouse is the large covered cockpit with cushioned seating and drink tables inside and additional seating outside of the cockpit. This spacious area is also used for dining on deck and has a large teak table and chairs for 10 guests.

The deckhouse/upper salon has a bar on the starboard side and a comfortable seating area with table for 4/6 on the port side. Going forward one accesses the lower main saloon and aft there is a dayhead in the accommodations area.

Main Saloon

Marie’s spectacular full width main saloon includes a baby grand piano that can be programmed to play with the music and the entertainment system aboard.

Marie’s décor is accented with a collection of antiques and maritime art with many comfortable seating areas throughout.
