OVERVIEW

Latitude has all the comfort and amenities you would expect on an Oyster. What sets her apart is the experience the guests receive from its world-class crew. Former superyacht captain and chef team Frank and Sue Ficken are masters of their craft.

On decks, she is open, with generous entertaining spaces. The roomy cockpit can seat 10, offering space for al fresco dining and full shade under the optional bimini. There is plenty of deck space both fore and aft offering lots of places to catch the sun. The fitted rail seats on the aft deck are a great place to watch this beautiful yacht in action under sail.

Constant updates have enhanced Latitude's already impressive capabilities to guarantee charter guests the experience of a lifetime. These include new high-performance, hydraulically-controlled North 3Di sails, a new cockpit canvas, integrated B&G navigation electronics and updated appliances. Designed to be sailed shorthanded with ease, you will definitely want to take the helm at some point on your charter.

FEATURES

Make yourself comfortable

Latitude’s interior has a calm, contemporary feel with light maple joinery offset by rich walnut flooring. The large port and starboard vertical triple Seascape windows illuminate the saloon beautifully and ensure passengers never miss any exceptional views out on the ocean.

The yacht’s remarkably spacious and versatile layout can accommodate four guests (six upon request if you are bringing the children along with you). The expansive master cabin spans the full beam of the aft of the yacht, with a centre-line queen-size bed, vanity unit and loveseat, and ensuite heads and shower.

On the starboard side forward of the master cabin, an upper and lower bunk cabin with shared heads is ideal for children. There are two more inviting cabins forward of the saloon – the starboard has a double bed and private ensuite heads and shower. The crew are accommodated in the remaining port bunk cabin.

Captain Frank has spent the last 20 years in command of sailing vessels as large as 160 feet, he prefers to captain smaller yachts as they provide more time for guest interaction and entertainment. Likewise, Sue, a professionally trained chef, enjoys customizing delicious dishes made from local ingredients for Latitude’s guests.

CREW

Meet the crew

Captain

Frank Ficken

Frank grew up in Vermont, boating on Lake Champlain most weekends with his family (when the ice was out!).

He began sailing out of Newport, RI in the 1980’s and began his professional yachting career 20 years ago. Frank brings many years of experience running large sailing yachts to SY LATITUDE including SY GEORGIA a 160ft Alloy Sloop, the classic schooner TREE OF LIFE and SY MARAE a 108ft Alloy Sloop. With 20 years experience in the Caribbean and New England charter world, Frank knows all of the quietest anchorages and hottest nightspots. Frank is very easy going and loves teaching guests about sailing. If you feel like dragging yourself away from the comfort of the cockpit settees, he is more than happy for you to take the helm! Frank is also a qualified Rescue Diver. When he’s not sailing, he enjoys water sports, reading and photography.

Chef

Sue Ficken

Sue brings her formal culinary training as well as 12 years of yacht chef experience to SY Latitude.

Since training at the International Culinary School in Ft Lauderdale, Sue has worked as the chef aboard a number of large yachts including SY ISLANDIA 139ft Jongert, SY GEORGIA and SY MARAE. Sue has a very flexible style, allowing her to customize a menu for your charter that fulfills all your epicurean desires. She prides herself on creating imaginative dishes from fresh local ingredients with great presentation. With many years of provisioning experience in most of the major charter ports, Sue knows where to procure the best meats and fish and the freshest vegetables. She is also renowned for her desserts! When not thinking up ways to delight guests' palates, Sue enjoys snorkeling, reading and hiking.
