If you value exceptional service and the personal customization that luxury yacht chartersl affords, if you enjoy tropical destinations, and appreciate the treatment you receive at five star hotels, then a luxury yacht charter will lift you to the pinnacle of your desires.
On a professionally staffed luxury charter yacht youll enjoy the luxury service and pampering that's beyond a fine luxury resort. With the added benefit of visiting beautiful, remote destinations, many of which can only be reached by boat. Bask in the sheer joy of swimming in crystal clear turquoise waters, strolling on remote powdery white beaches as soft as plush carpet, while your charter crew readies a sumptuous meal to be served on the upper deck of your luxury yacht.

... It was in April of 1987 that former Senator Gary Hart announced the beginning of his second presidential campaign. Less than a month later, the Miami Herald published a photo of a young woman leaving Hart’s residence.
The candidate expressed outrage at the paper, but within a week the Herald received tips that Hart had visited Bimini with a woman who was not his wife, then published photos showing a 29-year-old model, Donna Rice, sitting on Hart’s lap.
Less than a week later, Hart announced he was dropping out of the race (he would later re-enter, unsuccessfully).

I started law school in 1987, one of the third year students had just returned from a recruiting trip to a Denver law firm. Some of the firm members took him to lunch, and they each talked a little about their particular area of practice. He asked one of the partners who had not said much what he did - to which he replied he had been running for President earlier that year. Not sure who was more embarrassed, the student for not recognizing Senator Hart or Senator Hart for not being recognized.
How about some inner tubes tied together with a sheet of plywood for a deck?
That is more in my price range.
Might be some deals on used Cuban escape watercraft?
A league of his own:
A directory of 55+ Herb Chambers Car Dealerships lists their OEM brand portfolio in Massachusetts and New England. In 2015, at the age of 74, he was named as one of the 400 richest Americans, ranking number 392, with an estimated $1.7 billion, by Forbes magazine.
:)
According to Herb:
“You’re not making money chartering, but you can cover most or all of your operating costs and keep the crew busy,” he said. “The real profit opportunity, though, comes when you sell the boat,” he said, adding that the value of the Excellence III has risen 50 percent since he bought it four years ago.
In 25 years of renting his yachts, he said he had experienced no accidents or damage. “There is no downside,” he said.
