One of the awesome things about Florida is how close we are to the Bahamas. From Stuart to the Grand Bahamas is only about 70 miles and from the Palm Beach Inlet just 55 miles. Take a trip down there and stay for the weekend your own yacht, say this 49-foot Gulfstar:

A fully enclosed, air conditioned aft deck/living room looks just like your one at home. A sofa, coffee table, ottoman, and lamps make up a comfy living space to enjoy a cruise on the Atlantic.
