Why Should You Choose a Yacht For Your Event

                                               “Catering & Food”

When it comes to menus and food quality, make sure your food will be cooked fresh onboard in the yacht’s Galley (Kitchen). Some boats are not equipped with galley space.  You will be able to determine if the yacht can prepare in-house catering, based on the variety of offerings on their menu.

                                               “Menu Items”

Compare main entrees, for example, pasta with shrimp entrée vs a whole portion of Salmon is not a fair comparison. The pasta with shrimp (shrimp will run out quickly after the first few tables have visited the buffet) will be a much cheaper entrée offering.)  Comparing like items is the best way to determine fairness in price and value.

Upon entering the South Beach Lady Yacht, you are immediately transported to an atmosphere reminiscent of the iconic design movement. The yacht’s interior features sleek lines, geometric patterns, and stylish furnishings, all meticulously crafted to create a captivating ambiance that exudes sophistication.

                                                     “Decoration”

The possibilities are endless when decorating an event on South Beach Lady Yacht Charters. The yacht provides a luxurious and elegant backdrop, and with thoughtful decor choices, you can transform it into a stunning setting that matches your event’s theme or style.

“ Charter and Crew Fees ”

Charter fees are determined by size, length, overhead, and level of Luxury or age of the vessel.  As for Crew, the bigger the yacht (and number of decks) the more crew is needed.  Be sure to ask how many crew members will be aboard. 

“ Pricing ”

Like all industries, party boats and event yachts offer a range of pricing. Just because something is cheaper does not mean it is better, in this industry especially.  Be sure to look not only at the total cost but what you are getting in each category.

“ Entertainment ”

When it comes to Yachts, most entertainment is welcomed:  Bands, DJs, Jimmy Buffet/ Kenny Chesney Singers, photobooths, Tropical Dancers, Live Percussionists, Sax Players, and cigar rollers. One or more will certainly enhance your guest’s experience.

“ Dance Floor ”

A yacht offers both an indoor and outdoor dance floor is best. When searching for a yacht, be sure you take into consideration wet weather.    By booking a yacht that has both, you do not have to worry about Mother Nature.

I’ll be sailing with them again. I went to a wedding anniversary party that was thrown on one of their yachts, and this was a life-changing experience. I never knew yachts could be so fun, and I only thought they were for the rich! I guess not!

Florida airboat flips sending 9 passengers into gator-infested waters, operator arrested

An airboat tour in the Florida Everglades capsized sending passengers overboard on Friday, officials say. This happened when the airboat's driver took a sharp turn to try to see an alligator in the water, according to multiple reports.

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue said three units responded to a waterway near Coopertown The Original Airboat Tour in the Everglades Friday afternoon. According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, nine people and the operator all fell into the water when the boat took a quick turn.

By time MDFR arrived, everyone had climbed out of the water, and only one patient was treated for injuries on the scene.

But the boat's operator was arrested after FWC said he did not have the proper documentation necessary to operate the boat. His employer, Coopertown, did not immediately respond to USA TODAY's request for comment Monday morning.

Miami tour accidents: More than a dozen injured after tour boat and charter boat crash in Miami waters

Boat passengers say they were afraid of alligators in water, reports state

Passengers told Local 10 the boat operator was trying to get a closer look at a nearby alligator when the airboat flipped.

“My first thought was panic, I was afraid for my wife and family members, and then I thought about the alligator,” passenger Jose Maldonado told Local 10.

NBC Miami said the boat was partially submerged in the water and some passengers were standing on top waiting for help.

Alligator mating season runs from early April until the end of June, when the Sunshine State sees more activity and they become more aggressive.

Business | south florida yacht brokers hit with lawsuits that claim 10% commissions violate antitrust laws.

Two newly filed federal lawsuits claim that 10% sales commissions required by South Florida’s yacht broker industry are anticompetitive and violate antitrust laws.

The claims follow an October finding by a federal jury in Kansas City, Missouri, that the National Association of Realtors conspired with brokers to artificially inflate commissions paid to real estate brokers. The ruling, and a March 15 settlement by the Realtors, is expected to radically change how homes are sold in the United States.

Both lawsuits involving yacht brokers name as defendants the International Yacht Brokers Association, based in Fort Lauderdale, the Yacht Brokers Association of America, Boats Group LLC and YATCO LLC.

Also listed as defendants in both suits are a who’s who of South Florida-based yacht brokers, including Denison Yacht Sales, MarineMax Inc., Galati Yacht Sales Inc., Allied Marine Inc., Tournament Yacht Sales LLC and Northrop & Johnson Yacht Ships, among others.

Nearly all of the defendants are headquartered in South Florida.

The most recent suit, filed on March 22, proposes a class of plaintiffs that includes anyone who listed vessels on certain Multiple Listing Services using a listing agent or broker affiliated with one of the defendants and paid a buyer’s broker commission since March 22, 2020.

The lead plaintiff in the lawsuit is Kip Lamar Snell, identified as an Alabama resident. Snell entered into an agreement with Galati to sell a 41-foot Express Cruiser Sea Ray in July 2020 and ended up paying a $12,000 commission on the $120,000 sale price, the suit states. The lawsuit lists as defendants 15 brokers and six organizations that promote the yacht trade or operate Multiple Listing Services.

That lawsuit follows one filed on Feb. 29 that proposes a class of plaintiffs that includes anyone who paid a commission to a listing broker affiliated with the defendants since Feb. 19, 2020. It lists as defendants 11 brokers and five organizations that promote the yacht trade or operate Multiple Listing Services.

The lead plaintiff in that suit is Ya Mon Expeditions, a Wyoming company that paid a “substantial broker commission” when it sold a vessel in January 2023 while represented by Tournament Yacht Sales of Tequesta.

The most recent complaint accuses the trade associations of colluding with brokers to “enforce an anticompetitive restraint that requires (sellers of pre-owned yachts and boats) to pay a brokerage fee to the buyer’s broker and a total aggregate commission fee that is inflated as a condition for selling their yachts.”

The complaint states the typical commission is 10% and is shared between the seller’s broker and the buyer’s broker under terms spelled out in Central Listing Agreements provided by the brokers associations, including the International Yacht Brokers Association and the Yacht Brokers Association of America.

Only boat brokers are able to list boats and yachts on such Multiple Listing Services as YachtWorld.com, BoatTrader.com and Boats.com, and the Multiple Listing Services will not accept listings from owners who want to sell their vessels themselves, the lawsuit states.

Yacht owners are “severely disadvantaged” if they do not list their boats for sale on the listing services, while buyers suffer because their brokers are “financially incentivized” to show boats that will earn them standard “and inflated” commission rates of 4% to 5% through co-brokerage transactions, the complaint states.

None of the defendants contacted for this story responded to a request for comment, and no response has been filed yet in either case.

Robert Allen Jr., whose Miami-based law firm Robert Allen Law represents the International Yacht Brokers Association, did not respond to emails or return a phone call.

A woman who answered the phone at the International Yacht Brokers Association said, “We have no comment on that,” and hung up after a reporter asked for her name.

Of six brokers contacted for comment about the lawsuits, only Tournament Yacht Sales responded to emails. “No comment,” the company’s response stated.

Overall commissions have increased faster than the rate of inflation in recent years as the price of larger boats and yachts have increased, according to the lawsuit that lists Snell as lead plaintiff.

The result is that boat owners pay “hundreds of millions of dollars” in inflated commissions each year, the suit alleges.

Both lawsuits allege violations of the Sherman Antitrust Act that are upheld by “brokers who should be competing with one another but, instead, cooperate with each other to the detriment of pre-owned boat sellers.”

Some brokerages represent both buyers and sellers and retain the entire 10% commissions, the suits state.

The trade associations enforce rules requiring brokers to offer their boats through a listing service and to share commissions, the suits state, adding that they can impose significant penalties on members who do not comply with their rules.

Yacht purchasers are disadvantaged by the current system, the lawsuit alleges, because their agents would otherwise negotiate for their business by decreasing their commission rates.

But buyer brokers’ commissions have remained constant despite their diminishing role, the suits state. Many buyers today find boats they are interested in purchasing through online searches and enlist the services of a buyer’s broker only after identifying the yacht they want to buy, the suits claim.

The lawsuits seek an order declaring the commission structure to be illegal, a permanent injunction outlawing what they describe as anticompetitive conduct, plus damages and/or restitution, pre- and post-judgment interest, and attorneys’ fees.

Paul Geller, an attorney for one of two law firms representing the class that includes Snell, acknowledged “parallels between the allegations relating to commissions in the real estate and yacht markets.”

In the real estate matter, the National Association of Realtors on March 15 agreed to a $418 million proposed settlement that would free home sellers from paying commissions to brokers for both sellers and buyers.

After a jury ruled for the plaintiffs in the case against the National Association of Realtors in October, numerous lawsuits were filed across the country with similar allegations, including one in December against the Florida Association of Realtors and 16 brokerages.

“At bottom, the goals of (the suit against the yacht brokers) are similar: protecting consumers by challenging what we allege to be anti-competitive conduct,” Geller said by email. “We believe in the universal truth that consumers benefit by increased transparency and the competitive pricing that results from negotiated terms, including commissions.”

Geller is a partner at Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP, which specializes in securities litigation on behalf of investors. The firm has offices in 10 cities, including Boca Raton.

Police: drunk driver confuses popular south beach boardwalk for road and crashes into water.

Samiar Nefzi , Reporter

Andrea Torres , Digital Journalist

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. – A drunken man confused a Miami Beach boardwalk for a road, and he drove a blue 2021 Toyota Corolla into the water of Government Cut, a channel between South Beach and Fisher Island, according to police.

It was about 7 a.m., on Sunday. Andres Asion, a real estate broker, said he heard a loud noise and saw the car in the water from his high-rise apartment in the South of Fifth area.

As citizen journalists often do, Asion rushed to South Pointe Park and started filming.

“This guy is drunk, just came from a bar, thought that that was the road,” Asion said.

Asion’s video shows two women at South Pointe Park telling Miami Beach police officers that they saw the driver was speeding and headed right into the water. Miami Beach police officers later identified the driver as Yandeivy Chavez Dominguez, who lives in Miami’s Flagami neighborhood.

Chavez, 22, managed to swim out of the car. His clothes were wet and he was barefoot. Divers responded to search for others in the water, but they didn’t find anyone because Chavez was alone when he crashed the 2021 Toyota Corolla.

Police officers reported Chavez admitted to drinking alcohol, his breath smelled like alcohol, had bloodshot watery eyes and slurred speech, and he failed the sobriety test.

Police officers arrested Chavez after fire rescue personnel and staff at the Mount Sinai Medical Center determined he wasn’t injured, according to the arrest report.

Miami-Dade correctional officers booked him at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center. Records show he is facing a charge of driving under the influence.

A tow truck driver with Beach Towing later responded and removed the Toyota Corolla from the water.

‘snl’ cold open mocks donald trump’s bible venture: “sounds like a joke. and in many ways it is, but it’s also real”.

Saturday Night Live mocked Donald Trump ‘s most recent venture — promoting the “God Bless the USA Bible” — on its most recent episode.

The product, which is “inspired by” country musician Lee Greenwood’s song “God Bless the USA,” is being sold for $59.99. It includes the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence, the Pledge of Allegiance and the handwritten chorus to “God Bless the USA.”

Holding a copy of said Bible, Johnson (as Trump) referred to it as “this beautiful Bible made from 100 percent Bible.

“Sounds like a joke. And in many ways it is, but it’s also very real,” he continued.

Johnson (as Trump) then noted that the Bible is “my favorite book.

“But this is a very special Bible and it could be yours for the high, high price of $60,” he added. “But I’m not doing this for the money. I’m doing this for the glory of God, and for pandering, and mostly for money.”

He lamented how “sad” it is that “religion and Christianity are totally gone from this country. And we need them back. Without religion, you don’t have laws, you don’t have mission trips. Adult mission trips are a lot of fun. You go to Mexico, you build a house, maybe you make out with someone on the last night. Then of course, it’s back to Clearwater, Florida, like it never happened.”

But back to the Bible he’s promoting: “It comes with everything you like from the Bible, like the story of Easter, which primarily concerns Jesus. Not so much the bunny. I kept waiting for the bunny to show up. He never showed up.”

Johnson’s Trump ended the bit by saying the Lord’s Prayer: “Our father who are in heaven. Hallowed, beep, beep, bing bing bing bing bong, bing bang bing bing bing, trespass, daily bread. And please lead us into temptation and pay our automobiles. In the name of the father, the son and the Easter bunny, Amen.”
