Palm Beach, one of the wealthiest zip codes in America, is constantly upping the ante when it comes to luxury hotel perks. But a new complimentary offering for guests staying at The Brazilian Court Hotel — an island icon that dates back to 1926 and sits just a few blocks off Worth Avenue — brings a next-level nautical experience for those wanting to explore the surrounding waterways.
“The aesthetic and cultural identity of the hotel is heavily rooted in European elegance, and the design of the Solaris 44 exceptionally compliments that style,” said The Brazilian Court Hotel’s owner, Bobby Schlesinger, referring to the 44-foot Brunello Acampora-designed Italian Solaris Power yacht the property purchased in late 2023 to deliver guests a bespoke yachting experience along the Intracoastal Waterway.
Starting Jan. 15, 2024, hotel guests can use in-room iPads or contact the property's dedicated yachting concierge to reserve a complimentary two-hour group cruise (with a maximum of eight people) aboard BC ONE.
The sleek vessel, which retails for more than a $1 million according to brokers, is equipped with daybeds for optimal alfresco viewing while cruising past Palm Beach’s many waterfront mansions. It also has the largest below-deck living area of any ship in its class, should you wish to lounge out of the sun.
Private excursions for you and your party can be booked at an additional cost for sailings Thursday through Sunday, while the complimentary group trips (one per room, per week) are offered every day of the week.
