About Spirit of Fritz (formerly Marionette VI- Ron Holland)
A Champion's Pedigree
Long before she began welcoming guests along the French coast, Marionette VI made sailing history. Designed by Ron Holland — the naval architect behind some of the era's most formidable racing yachts — she was built for one purpose: to win.
And win she did. In 1977, racing for Chris Dunning as part of the British team, Marionette VI helped claim the Admiral's Cup, sailing's unofficial world championship of offshore racing, against a record international fleet of 19 nations. It remains one of the most storied editions of the event.
She later passed into Dutch hands and raced on under the name Formidable, before eventually returning to the Mediterranean — where today, fully restored, she carries guests along the same coastline instead of racing crews across the Solent.
Step aboard, and you're not just boarding a sailboat. You're sailing a piece of Admiral's Cup history.

The half-day was memorable. Lukas, who grew up in the bay, gave us a real sailing lesson. Very kind and attentive, I recommend him 100%.
la demi-journée était mémorable. Lukas, qui a grandi dans la baie, nous a fait un vrai cours sur le voilier. Très gentil et attentionné, je recommande à 100%

We had an absolutely fantastic day at sea with Lukas. He is highly experienced, calm, and incredibly friendly, making us feel comfortable and welcome from the very beginning. His language skills were truly impressive, making communication effortless throughout the trip.
Everything was thoughtfully arranged. We were provided with refreshments, fishing equipment and guidance, sailing instruction, opportunities to swim and snorkel, and plenty of enjoyable conversations along the way.
The boat itself is wonderful—stable, exceptionally well maintained, and spotless. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for a memorable day on the water. Thank you, Lukas, for an unforgettable experience!
