Some American-style football, that is? No, the 2009-10 season hasn't officially started just yet, but I received a note yesterday from Capt. Andrew Grego aboard the 102-foot Palmer Johnson motoryacht Banyan reminding me that February's Super Bowl XLIV will be played in Miami, Florida--making yacht charter an option for enjoying the big game. That's the stadium in the photograph above. If you're of my vintage, you might remember it as Joe Robbie Stadium, named for the original owner of the Miami Dolphins team. The arena was subsequently known as Pro Player Stadium and Dolphin Stadium until less than two months ago, when it was rechristened Land Shark Stadium--in honor of noted yachtsman Jimmy Buffett, who rewrote the lyrics to his song "Fins" in honor of the Dolphins team. Here's the world premiere performance, if you want to take a listen:
In the mood for some football yet? Banyan is available for a Super Bowl booking in Miami and can help enhance the experience with the kind of Super Bowl party the crew threw at last month's Newport charter show. The yacht itself just underwent a multimillion-dollar refit that extended it from 88 to 102 feet long, by way of a massive new fishing cockpit. I spent a good deal of time discussing the refit details with Grego in Newport, and I'll have a full First Impression review for you soon. You might also take a look at Banyan's own website, which includes a good number of post-refit photos. Banyan is part of the fleet at Neptune Group Yachting. She takes six guests and is currently offering introductory charter base rates that range from $29,500 to $36,000 for bookings in New England and the Florida/Bahamas area. Any reputable charter broker can help you book a Super Bowl (or any other kind) of charter vacation aboard.
