The photograph above is of Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, where the National Football League will hold Super Bowl XLIII on February 1, 2009. As the actual football season won’t start for another few months in the United States, it’s a bit hard to say who’ll be playing–but you can be sure there will be a party to be had, just a few blocks from one of the busiest boating areas in all of Florida.

I was reminded of this by Merle Wood & Associates, which is encouraging its charter clients to call now,while availability is still good, for a yacht with a berth close to all the excitement. The stadium is just inside the peninsula between Hillsborough Bay and Old Tampa Bay, with easy access from Tampa Bay and the many marinas of Tampa’s sister city, St. Petersburg.

As the Merle Wood team says, the marinas in this area can accommodate charter yachts of every size with a full range of services and amenities. I’m guessing that includes awesome tailgate parties, too–something you definitely don’t get to enjoy during just any ol’ charter vacation.
