TheEditor'sMidnight Oil WINTER

If you are from a small town in northern Minnesota like I, you probably welcome winter in Naples. We could hardly call it winter rather a weather wonderland. You don't have to shovel the sunshine in Naples. Where I come from, we have two seasons. #1 Roadwork Season #2 Winter! In Naples we have two seasons as well: #1 Summer #2 Reservations Season.

This year is seeing an especially strong reservations season based on several factors. Some local restaurants are closed and others using the fall hurricane season as a good and necessary reason to remodel; this leaves more business to those restaurants which were relatively unaffected or less affected The snowbirds are always welcome and contribute heavily to reservation season and of course the end of the Covid-Era brings an even larger crowd of diners and cocktail imbibers.

With season in full force, it's time to plan events accordingly. Join us on January 14th for the Second Annual Naples Charity Clays event benefiting the Parkinson's Foundation. The Naples Boat Show on January 21, Cars on 5th - February 2nd, The 44th Annual National Art Show at Cambier Park on February 26th or the Naples Craft Beer Festival on March 4th

Great weather, special events and conservative values are what make Naples great! Let's keep Naples Great!

Peace Out, Jay Shapiro

Yacht Rental Demand Is Soaring, Coast Yachts Expands Chicago Charter Fleet With

Sunseeker Predator 60

Coast Yacht Charter experiences are the essence of the luxury lifestyle. Coast Yachts' fleet of charter yachts are not your typical charter boats. They are hand-picked based upon quality, maintenance reliability and, of course, good looks.

Coast Yachts, the private yacht charter and yacht management company with operations in Chicago, Miami and the Bahamas, is answering the call for larger, newer and more luxurious yachts on Lake Michigan, adding the Sunseeker Predator 60 to its yacht rental fleet in Chicago.

The Sunseeker Predator 60, named City Life, boasts a length overall of nearly 64 feet and a width just shy of 17 feet, creating the most spacious entertaining venue of any yacht in its range. Operating in total compliance with the United States Coast Guard regulations and safety protocols, City Life comfortably holds up to 13 guests and is operated by a licensed captain along with an experienced cabin concierge to attend to City Life's guests' every need. The yacht has a tender garage with water toys, a submersible swim platform, two sun-pads, a large dining table, outdoor seating for all guests, five satellite televisions, a concert quality sound system, a cockpit grill, three refrigerators, a wine refrigerator, two freezers, a Yeti cooler, two heads, two fullsize showers, two queen beds, a saloon lounge, a massive retractable cockpit moon roof and more

"The demand for our yacht charter and yacht membership programs have reached all-time highs in the past 12 months," says Jason De Palma, Founder of Coast Yachts "Our member-operated boat club fleet was sold out preseason, and our yacht charter fleet is nearing full capacity. We need more yachts to keep up with the flood of new entrants to the market. We are actively shopping for more boats and pursuing yacht owners who have an appetite for revenue and tax depreciation. City Life is joining the Coast family at the perfect time. She is an amazing yacht, one of the largest and highest quality yacht available for charter in Chicago " Coast Yachts manages an expanding fleet of company-owned watercraft as well as a privately owned fleet offering management, concierge, cleaning, maintenance and crew services to yacht owners. The Coast Yachts Owner's Club program was designed to make a boat owner's happiest day, every day. There are three levels of yacht care to choose from along with optional charter revenue to offset fixed costs.
