Fraser honors captains, crew By Lucy Chabot Reed Capt. Paul Bickley, skipper of the 53m Benetti M/Y Latitudes, won Charter Captain of the Year last night at the annual Fraser Yachts black-tie dinner. “He treats us like family, and that makes a difference to guests,” Chief Officer Patricia Caswell said. The crew of 13 have been together since the owner bought the yacht a year and a half ago. “Anyone on board picks up on it,” second Stew Nicholle Mackenzie said. “We are a family.” The company’s top charter crews are on the 44m M/Y Four Wishes and the 43m M/Y Harmony III. M/Y Four Wishes joined the Fraser fleet in 2004 with its launch and has
been under the command of Capt. Aaron T. Clarke the entire time. It is the only yacht to win this distinction twice, first in 2008. Clarke was Fraser’s Captain of the Year in 2005. “We have an average crew tenure of 2.4 years,” Clarke said after receiving his award, which he credits to his onboard training program for deck crew. “They show commitment and they are rewarded. I’m more from a commercial background and that’s how it works. My last first mate, who I trained into that position, was with me for six years.” Capt. Robert Wilhelm of M/Y Harmony III was ill and not able to attend the event. Lucy Chabot Reed is editor of Triton Today. Comments are welcome at lucy@ the-triton.com.

CHECKING THE TIDE: Triton Today’s Question of the Day:
Where do you want to travel with the yacht? Yacht crew are a diverse and adventurous bunch, as witness in today’s survey results. For most crew, they are eager to see places unseen, though some wanted to travel home. Most, it seemed, were ready to get out of the Med. – Data compiled by Lucy Reed First Mate Will Robinson M/Y Galileo G 56m Pacciotti “We’re about to go do it. We’re off to the Arctic and the Northwest Passage. In the second year, we’re doing the Pacific to Antarctica.”
Deckhand Luke Spooner M/Y Anedigmi 49m Oceanco “The Caribbean. [The boat stays in the Med.] Different waters, different feel, different cultures.”
Deckhand/carpenter Stephen Blood M/Y Reverie 70m Benetti “Somewhere warm, the Caribbean or the Pacific. Probably the Seychelles. I like my fishing. I want to be where the fish are at.”
Bosun Max Ciriaco M/Y Why Worry 45m Baglietto “Viareggio. I’m from Viareggio. It’s my hope.”
Other – 19.2% Alaska – 26.9% Carib. – 7.7% Croatia S. Pacific – 19.2% – 11.5% Seychelles – 15.4%

Chief Stew Juliane Von Prondzinski M/Y My Petra 44m Heesen “Patagonia. Never been but I know it would be amazing. I’ve been pretty lucky on yachts. This is my first season in the Med in four years.” Chief Mate Simon Davison S/Y Hemisphere 44m Pendennis “The easy thing to say is the South Pacific because it’s so beautiful. Alaska. I think that would be the place to go. There are so few boats.”
Chef Rene Vogel S/Y Fidelis 56m Perini Navi “The Seychelles. I used to live there. I think the boat would really enjoy it. It’s untouched.”
Deckhand Ryan Black M/Y My Petra 44m Heesen “Croatia. I have been, but not with a yacht. I drove the coast road and it’s so beautiful, absolutely stunning. It’s like a movie.”
