On The Water

Just passing through July we are firmly planted in summer. The heat, humidity and scorching sun lead us to the beach and sparkling gulf waters to cool off. In this issue we spend time on the water.

Starting off we visit K23 Yacht Charters’ brand new 92ft yacht, the Algorythm. Based on the Manatee River, she is the only 92′ luxury yacht available on the Gulf Coast. The latest yacht from Lazzara, she accommodates eight overnight guests in four staterooms. Algorythm is the definition of luxury on the water. Climb aboard with REAL.

Cruising south we make a stop at the Sarasota Yacht Club. Belonging to the club has always stood as a symbol of success and passion for the water. With their newly constructed landmark building, the Sarasota Yacht Club is quickly becoming a seaside symbol of Sarasota’s skyline and the definition of coastal architecture. Come explore the Sarasota Yacht Club with us.

Returning to the Sarasota Yacht Club we board John and Denise Saputo’s 61 foot Viking cruiser for a day of fun and hospitality in the gulf. Immediately upon entrance one is surrounded by other guests and a congenial atmosphere. After bagels, pastries, coffee and other undisclosed beverages, Captain Hugh Shields pilots the Golden Eagle III off to our destination.

Carefully weaving our way through the channel we enter the gulf and are visually impacted by boats everywhere. It is Suncoast Super Boat Grand Prix day! We are cruising on the Bud Boat to turn 3 where we serve as a turn boat, a visual reference for race drivers to locate the turn. Settling in and dropping anchor less than 40 yards from the turn buoy we await the start of the races. You certainly can feel the excitement of turn boating in this issue.

The races begin and from atop the wheel house, on the cabin roof, we bring you the race. Up close and personal the boats zip by and we are buzzed by the helicopters. What a day. 1,719 photos later we can only print a few for your enjoyment. There is nothing better than being a part of the race. And yes, there is Bud on the Bud Boat!

Jump in!
