For most Americans, President’s Day ostensibly is about celebrating presidents, past and present. However, it’s come to be a celebration of the many freedoms Americans have enjoyed since the introduction of the Constitution of the United States in 1789, and what could be more liberating than chartering a yacht and taking off wherever the mood takes you?
As usual, the Discover Boating Miami International Boat Show (16-20 February) will be on during the run up to President’s Day, which could be the perfect chance to charter a yacht and host your own exclusive President’s Weekend party in impeccable style during the show.
Alternatively, you could wrap up warm and spoil yourself with a few days shopping, partying and fine dining in the Big Apple on a New York yacht charter.
Cruise out of the city for more laid-back luxury on Long Island or spend a few days hopping from historic harbour to historic harbour in New England.
Or maybe you’d prefer to escape the winter chill and head somewhere hot, and what could be better to shake off the February winter blues than a Caribbean yacht charter?
Think turquoise bath-warm seas, endless blue skies, and cocktails on the sun deck as the chef fires up the barbecue, and you get the picture.
PHOENIX 2 is available to charter this President’s Weekend and comes with a raft of mood-lifting amenities, including an outdoor cinema and no less than three pools.
For a first-class sailing charter with the level of luxury worthy of a president, try AQUIJO, which comes with a beach club with sea-view Jacuzzi, sauna, and steam room, plus an alfresco dining table fit for a state banquet.
If you are looking to charter a yacht in the Bahamas this President’s Weekend, then treat yourself to a charter aboard GRACE, a brand-new charter yacht, fresh from a 2021 refit.
GRACE yacht comes with a family-friendly layout, with a master and double cabin on the main deck, plus a packed toy box with lots of opportunities for frolicking on the water, and an energised, proactive crew, who will encourage the family to try new things.
Another yacht new to the charter market is SILVER FOX, a 48m Baglietto, which comes with the largest sun deck in her class, furnished with module pieces that can be swept aside to create a dancefloor, for those who want to celebrate President’s Weekend in a livelier way.
