In pursuit of the ultimate boating experience
Life, liberty and the pursuit of the affordable ultimate boating experience. An exquisite yacht of your own, for a few hours, becomes a reality when you team up with Barton and Gray Mariners Club. Become an admiral, a lieutenant, or an ensign by purchasing their mariners card. The card gets you a luxury day of boating on a Hinckley picnic boat or a Friendship sloop. Different prices purchase more or less hours of boating in the heart and harbor of America yachting.
We take care of all the hassles," said Doug Gray, who started this idea in Nantucket, Greenwich, CT and Palm Beach, FL. "We are off tomorrow to the Nantucket Film Festival to take some of our members out for picnics with the stars of some of the movies."
It's a simple idea and everyone is teaming up in order to make these experiences available to everyone.
Summer Solstice Party
Melanie Delman of Lila Delman Real Estate teamed up with Mr. Gray in hosting a summer solstice party at Forty-one Degrees North, the newest waterfront destination last Friday night. Forty-one has a state-of-the-art marina, that will serve as the jumping off location for this line-up of players. Billed as a destination --not a direction, this club, with an ultra-fashionable grill pavilion is the latest in seaside cosmopolitan chic. It boasts comfy sofas for lounging and a garden courtyard that creates a private club-like atmosphere. Enroll in one of the guest programs or use the club as a marina guest and let their staff be at your disposal to ensure exceptional service.
