Charter SS DELPHINE - 26-30 guests - Mediterranean

The passenger vessel SS DELPHINE is offering low season rates for July & August 2009.

Legend has it that the Yalta Treaty was drawn up here during the Delphine’s stint in the U.S. Navy. If only these walls could talk... with the likes of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, Molatov and Winston Churchill who once enjoyed the hospitality of the Delphine.

Launched in 1921 at the Great Lakes Engineering Works in Michigan, S.S. Delphine, was at 257.8ft and 1,342 tons, the largest yacht built in the United States that is still in existence today. Re-christened in September of 2003, by H.S.H Princess Stephanie of Monaco, S.S. Delphine is one of the most unique and exceptional vessels for charter in the Mediterranean fleet. In 2004 she received the annual showboats award for best refit.

This is a beautiful steamship... There are just too many photos to choose from so please check out her first online brochure to get a quick overview of this yacht, and then look at the second brochure for more information (see links at end of post). Besides the superb staterooms, there is a swimming pool, fresh or saltwater Jacuzzi, professional hair dressing salon, smoking lounge, music room, bars, sauna, steam room, fully-equipped gym, and more!

Cruise New England in Style this Summer - WISHING STAR

WISHING STAR is classic 84-foot Trumpy motor yacht with a crew of two, available for charter from the Bahamas to Maine, depending on the season.



When it comes to a classic gentleman’s motor yacht, there’s nothing like a Trumpy – especially one like Wishing Star. Exquisitely maintained, with a handsome and impeccable interior, she is the ideal choice for those who appreciate traditional elegance afloat.

In the first half of the twentieth century, society’s most prominent members knew that owning a Trumpy meant you had truly arrived. The DuPont, Guggenheim, Morgan, Dodge, and Chrysler families all had Trumpy yachts. Even the famous Sequoia, the official yacht of seven U.S. Presidents (from Roosevelt to Carter), was a Trumpy.

We just read in one of our favorite boating blogs (Casco Bay Boaters Blog) that "After a 35-year hiatus, the iconic Trumpy name will soon grace the hull of an elegant new motoryacht." This is good news for all Trumpy fans. The photo shows that they are still going for the classic look, too!

Wishing Star accommodates up to six guests in 3 staterooms (one queen & two twins).

Wishing Star's schedule (slightly flexible) is as follows:

• Key West : January 1 - April 27
• Bahamas : May 1 - June 15
• Charleston : June 20 - July 4th
• NOTE: available for July 4th in Newport
• Newport, RI : July 15 - August 15
• Maine : August 20 - Sept 1
• Haul out September in Boothbay Harbor, Maine
• Charleston : October 1 - December 1
• Key West : December 7 - 31

Having recently undergone an extensive refit, her varnish is sparkling, her paint is fresh, and her rich upholsteries, drapes, carpets, linens and other soft furnishings are all new.

The charming, experienced, and genuinely welcoming crew of Roberta and Bret Todd are dedicated Trumpy enthusiasts and look forward to sharing this sweetheart of a yacht with their guests. A third crew is available on an as needed basis... inquire.

Wishing Star's charter rate is $22,000/week plus expenses.
