My husband and I met Marcus a number of years ago through a group. He was a fascinating,  friendly, fun to be with guy. I booked my in laws for his boat, and practically had to push them off the dock, they were so nervous about sailboats. In no time Marcus had them relaxed and enjoying the evening.  To this day they still talk about it! Marcus was truly one of a kind!!

Marcus was my friend for 60+ years. We shared memories, adventures, experiences (good and bad), ideas, and laughs. He was unique, and a uniquely interesting guy to have as a friend. I still can't believe he is gone. Rest in peace, old buddy. I will never forget you.

We had many great rides on the Eventide. The"captain" was such a nice pleasant sailor. He will be missed. RIP dear man of the ocean .



One time as I was heading into Hyannis Harbor in my center console, Marcus shouted to me asking for assistance fighting the tide to get back to his slip. What followed was a very fun chance to help a fellow sailor and to share a few minutes with the bubbling group of young women who were returning from a beautiful afternoon sail.  Lewis Bay has lost a wonderful, colorful sailor.  

Always fun sailing with Marcus on Eventide. The “Cat Boat”.  Learned so much from him. So glad to have known him, so sorry to hear of his passing. 

Marcus was a great sailor and a true gentleman. I always enjoyed seeing him around town. I mourn his loss and I hope that he is in a better place. I offer my most sincere condolences to his family.

Our deepest sympathies to all of the Sherman family. For many many years we enjoyed the richness of the entire family and Marcus added to the adventure, happiness and excitement of life. Many a great story of Thailand, India, Cape  Cod and sailing. A  great farewell Marcus, you are on the voyage that perhaps is the most mysterious. To all of the Sherman family ,thank you and God speed. Christine and Thomas

Our Deepest Condolences to All the Family on the Passing of Marcus Sherman...  Judy, Kelly, Anne, Nick, Everyone Associated with Marcus... 

We were so saddened to hear this news from Kelly, who sent us a note on April 25.  Marcus will be well-remembered for his enthusiasm and passion for all and everyone that he encountered... He left quite the memories for so many of us...  He will be sorely missed, but we of course know that he is sailing that Big Cat Boat in the sky towards the eternal sunset... What a picture of the Captain...

Much Love and Peace to All the Family,

David and Mika

I am so sorry to hear of your loss.
My brother, sister, and I all sailed with Marcus on The Eventide.  We have the best memories and stories from working with Marcus.  We will never forget them and we will never forget him.

The waters of Lewis Bay have not been the same the last few summers without the Big Cat Sail passing by.   We know how much love and time Marcus put into the boat and the business.  

Praying for you!
