When I started South Florida Luxury Guide 11 years ago, it was my vision to create an easyto-read publication ﬁlled with beautiful photos and a variety of curated lifestyle topics. I wanted to do all the research—so our readers wouldn’t have to.

After many years of publishing in South Florida, we are proud to announce that we have expanded to include top cities across the United States. For those receiving Luxury Guide for the ﬁrst time, allow me to introduce myself and my team, who you will meet on the next page. I understand that this is not an ordinary note from the publisher of a magazine, and you’re right—I am anything but ordinary, and this is not a traditional magazine. I hope that you’ll enjoy the selection of topics we chose to cover, including year-round happenings throughout the state, a guide to James Beard-recognized and Michelinstarred restaurants, home and decor inspirations, lifestyle real estate, travel destinations, unique ﬁnds, cars and yachts, arts and culture from around the world, and a gifts-for-allseasons shopping guide. In addition, we created a directory of some of the top public golf courses, marinas and private airports for the jet-setter—regardless of where they are or plan to be.

Lynette Janac, Publisher/CEO W elcome to the ﬁrst edition of Luxury Guide—coast to coast! I have always been inspired by information, motivated by knowledge, and captivated by a writer’s ability to create eloquent, descriptive sentences. Still, my thirst for what could only be accomplished from reading was left unsatiated because of a perpetually packed schedule that left little time to do so.

It’s Time for a Taste of Yachting Experience the ultimate vacation aboard a charter yacht. northropandjohnson.com

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better...It got better.

Regardless of whether you charter a few times a year or regularly, JetASAP is the one app you need before you book your next charter ﬂight. For more information, visit JetASAP.com or download the app from the Apple App Store.

JetASAP: The Must-Have Charter App for Travelers Who Fly Private

JetRATE In addition to allowing subscribers to post the aforementioned trip requests and receive live bookable quotes, the company has also spent the last few months perfecting JetRATE, its state-of-the-art pricing guidance model. Using both current and historical data to determine pricing trends for all categories of aircraft, a JetRATE value is provided automatically each time a trip request is entered based on route and aircraft size. Such guidance helps both new and seasoned travelers understand current pricing trends and book with conﬁdence, knowing that they’re paying current market rates. After all, today’s sticker shock may be tomorrow’s good deal, and understanding the difference is the key to not overpaying. The best part is that, just like with all of JetASAP’s services, JetRATE is always available to guide you, regardless of where you may end up sourcing or booking your trip.

TRENDING JETS 24 LUXURY GUIDE USA

TripMATCH As the newest addition to JetASAP’s services, TripMATCH makes things even easier for subscribers. The feature automatically matches subscriber trip requests and travel preferences with available operators. Subscribers are then alerted of any matches and provided with operator contact information to easily take the next step.

Beyond JetRATE, the company also rolled out JetSEARCH, its comprehensive charter operator search feature that allows subscribers to quickly find operators by name, location, aircraft size, safety rating or any combination thereof. JetSEARCH makes it a snap to find operators with a specific safety rating and aircraft size anywhere in the U.S. in just a couple of clicks. JetASAP has also made it easy for subscribers to find general charter operator availability, as well as timely one-way flights and value-priced empty legs. Previously, such information was the sole purview of industry insiders, but the company has democratized this information to make sourcing easier than ever before. Each listing includes buttons to quickly email or call operators to confirm availability and pricing directly.

Pre-COVID, chartering an aircraft was a pretty consistent affair, with charter supply being plentiful enough that good pricing could be found on a regular basis. Post-COVID, demand went through the roof, and finding a plane— much less at a good price—became a daily challenge no matter where you fly. Between finding a flight or even an operator to contact directly and trying to understand if a given quoted price is a good value considering the route or time of year, chartering has become a complicated and confusing affair. That’s where JetASAP comes in. The company began as a free service that allowed fliers to request live, humangenerated quotes from charter operators for submitted trip requests and then connect with them directly to ask questions or book. However, with skyrocketing demand and limited supply, JetASAP has responded by rapidly rolling out a whole host of new features to help flyers navigate the often murky waters of the charter market.

JetASAP offers a free seven-day trial so that you can experience all that the company has to offer before signing up. But sign up you will, because becoming a subscriber is one of the easiest decisions you’ll ever make if you ﬂy privately.

It seems that these days, there’s a mobile app for just about anything, and private jet charter is no exception. Between the myriad apps and services available, ﬁnding the best option that’s right for you is easier said than done. However, every once in a while, something comes along that’s a true gamechanger—and JetASAP is just that.

JetASAP has focused on the exact pain points so often encountered by beleaguered ﬂyers in order to provide a truly useful set of tools that makes the service a must-have. Speciﬁcally, the company has focused on four new features to help app subscribers take control of their travel.

TripSUPPORT Finally, yet perhaps most exciting, subscribers can now obtain discounted optional aircraft mechanical coverage and support via JetASAP’s exclusive partnership with Charter Flight Support. Much like travel interruption insurance found in the commercial airline world, Charter Flight Support covers you if your charter ﬂight gets canceled due to a plane breaking, or what the charter industry refers to as an aircraft mechanical. In such a case, the company covers 100% of the price difference between the cost of your originally booked trip and the cost of any replacement ﬂight.

JetSEARCH

As an example, if you book a trip for $15,000, and it gets canceled up to 10 days before you depart, Charter Flight Support’s team will immediately source a new ﬂight for you directly, and if that replacement ﬂight costs $30,000, Charter Flight Support will cover the extra $15,000. The best part is that the coverage cost is just a small percentage of your charter cost, and, in this case, only $450. JetASAP makes things even better by offering subscribers an additional 20% off standard rates, providing you peace of mind that you’re covered—regardless of where you book your trip.

BY TAYLOR JOHNSON

TripMATCH™ We do the searching for you by matching your travel preferences and active trip requests to empty legs and one-ways. TripSUPPORT Enjoy exclusive discounts on aircraft mechanical coverage and support no matter where you book your trip. JetRATE™ Understand current market pricing before you book with the first-ever real-time intelligent pricing tool. LiveQUOTE Request. Select. Book Direct. Post your trip, review live quotes, then contact the operator directly, and you’re on your way. TripDEALS Browse empty legs and hot oneway deals posted daily by charter operators.

SMALL-TOWN CHARM

Winston-Salem, North Carolina

Even if it didn’t have 232 days of sunshine a year, Vero Beach’s understated affluence, pristine beaches, cultured lifestyle and age diversity make it one of Florida’s newest best places to retire.

It doesn’t get more classically Victorian and architecturally jawdropping than this Colorado mining town nestled into the 1,000foot walls of the San Juan Mountains—where world-class skiing, climbing, fishing, biking and hiking abound.

Fisher Island, Miami, Florida One of America’s most exclusive zip codes (accessible by a five-minute ferry ride), Fisher Island touts world-class tennis and golf, a private beach club, an elementary school and its own helicopter pad. Mill Valley, California Historic architecture, high-tech millionaires, a walkable downtown (adjacent to some of the best open space access in Northern California) and a 15-minute drive to San Francisco...

Locust Valley, New York Locust Valley offers nationally renowned private clubs (Piping Rock) and sweeping, multi-acre properties with even more jaw-dropping estates—plus, it’s only steps to the beach and a 50-minute train ride to the Big Apple.

The mansions on Billionaires Row along South Ocean Boulevard will make even a sultan swoon. Grandeur, opulence and overthe-top don’t even come close to the words we’d use to describe them—and they’re even better viewed from the water.

Over 900 people are moving to South Florida every day. What makes the South Florida lifestyle so attractive as a place to relocate? Most of our buyers are coming from the Northeast and Midwest, where the taxes are higher. Florida is a pro-business/pro-people state and is one of eight states that has zero state income taxes. South Florida’s relatively lower cost of living is a big draw as well. What are the tax and investment beneﬁts of buying a property in South Florida and speciﬁcally cities like Fort Lauderdale?

What do you say to homeowners who have concerns about renters damaging their property? While we understand your concern, don’t be. We have systems in place to mitigate any problems. We enforce strict occupancy limits, screen our guests, require a security deposit and signing of an agreement which speciﬁes all of the house rules. 97% of our renters have been professionals who were here for a family vacation.

According to the nation's TOP 100 Economists, Southeast Florida real estate is poised to continue appreciating 7% to 9% over the next 12 to 24 months. Single-family homes on or near the ocean properties are expected to increase by double digits. With mortgage interest rates historically low, now is the time to buy or invest. When’s the best time for a seller to list their home? Now is a great time to sell if you know where you are going. In the luxury market, there is an average of six months' inventory available now, whereas a year ago it was 12 months, and in 2019 it was 31 months. Lower interest rates allow buyers to purchase higher priced homes. Why are “comps” and pricing a home accurately so important when selling a luxury home? While several factors inﬂuence price, if the property is priced a mere 5% above the market, the home will languish—particularly entry-level luxury properties. Mid- and ultraluxury properties should be priced competitively as well. In 2021, the average list-to-sales price was 90% in this category. If you strategically price your home 5–10% below market, you will typically receive multiple offers exceeding the price you want.

You have a unique specialty among realtors--assisting Investors enter the Vacation Rental Home Market. Could you share what the beneﬁts are for investors and homeowners of listing their home as a vacation rental in your program? Our team is personally dedicated to providing consistent quality service to both our homeowners and guests. Over the past 20 years we built a committed network of preferred vendors that we can rely on to provide the highest quality service. Our management fees are approximately 10% below industry averages, while still providing top quality service due to our streamlined systems in place. How is your vacation rental program unique from online booking platforms like VRBO? People renting luxury properties expect immediate service. Unless you want to be on call 24/7, you need an experienced team to manage your property. When you partner with the right team, you save time, frustration and money. Booking platforms like VRBO charge owners 8–10% of every transaction, and no management services are provided.

How do I know that my house will be rented in your vacation rental program? We have a signiﬁcant database of past guests and those who previously inquired about our homes, invest in target marketing (including to luxury realtors & travel agents) to capture qualiﬁed renters, as well as to people relocating to South Florida. We generally run a 45% to 55% annual occupancy rate, which lessens wear and tear on our homeowners' property, and we get a much higher per-night dollar value than other property managers—as a result, our investors achieve a greater ROI. Homeowners receive a monthly check—we call that mailbox money.

When did you start your vacation rental program and property management business? Getting into both businesses was accidental. The real estate investor I consulted for had three empty properties on the beach. In 2000, I proposed that I decorate, furnish and rent them as vacation properties. After four months of supervising a construction crew, I started marketing and taking reservations. The result was an extremely proﬁtable venture. Whether you’re interested in buying, selling, investing or renting, contact Debbie Wysocki with Florida Luxury Homes Group to schedule a consultation before you make your next move. 954.579.5720; Debbie@FloridaLuxuryHomesGroup.com; FloridaLuxuryRentalsGroup.com

What inspired you to become a Realtor? At age 10, I watched my dad methodically invest in rental properties and become the ‘millionaire next door.’ Being exposed to the incredible beneﬁts of real estate ownership was an up-close lesson to save and later invest in real estate. What distinguishes your approach from other real estate agents? As a numbers-driven Realtor, I am quickly able to evaluate properties and assist clients in making fact-based, nonemotional decisions. I actively listen to understand my clients’ needs, while equally paying attention to what they are not saying. I regularly communicate throughout the relationship to ensure I create realistic expectations in order to create the best outcome.

Where are most of your vacation rentals located? We have rentals across Southeast Florida—from Deerﬁeld Beach to Aventura. Most properties are on the water, ocean or within a 5-minute walk of the beach. We’re also partnered with a great company that offers other rental properties operating in Miami, Aspen and Costa Rica. What makes Fort Lauderdale a great place to rent a luxury vacation home? Fort Lauderdale is a destination city with endless activities, world class dining, shopping and pristine white sand beaches. It is known as the Venice of America among boaters. From downtown Fort Lauderdale, you are centrally located between Miami and Palm Beach, which means you can enjoy everything those cities have to offer as well. What size vacation rentals are available? We have a range of fourto seven-bedroom homes which can sleep up to 16 people. We constantly add new properties and suggest checking our website for up-to-date information.

What’s the most expensive property you’ve sold? In 2019, I closed a dirt lot (no house) with 150 feet of ocean front in Lauderdale Beach for $18.8 million.

Avoid wasting dollars and headaches in the quest to make your home “smart”. With 25 years of experience and over 2,500 completed projects, providing world-class technology design and installation in high-end residential and marine settings for clients around the world, our team of experts can handle everything from A/V and automation to engineering and consultations and more!

Benefits of collaboration with a design and build team. The beauty behind collaboration is separate expert entities developing separate visions for a space and blending them cohesively into one. Mirror televisions that disappear and Ketra-caliber lighting systems are some examples of collaborative magic in design, function and form.

Benefits of consulting with AV Integrators when designing Outdoor Living Spaces. Sound can get lost in large outdoor spaces if speakers are not placed throughout the yard correctly. Consulting with a professional will ensure that you can create the optimum sound. Additionally, they will be able to collaborate with landscape architects or general contractors, if needed.

Home automation experts can work in collaboration with a design and build team of architects, general contractors and designers to develop the ultimate plan. With early planning for new projects, the wiring can be installed before the walls go up, which will keep the cords from showing.

Audio One’s process. One of our experts will spend time learning our clients’ needs, ideas, expectations, and nonnegotiables for the project. An initial walk through of the residence is required to collect data used to develop a proper plan. These two steps will allow us to deliver a concise proposal that will exceed expectations.

Audio-One.com Dania35954.THEATER;SW12thAve,Beach,FL

Recommendations for adding basic technology features. Adding motorized shades, climate control, and smart lighting can elevate your lifestyle of living. We will ensure all of these features can be controlled by a simple click of a button while at home or away traveling using smart devices.

Stage at which an AV Integrator should be hired. Whether building a home or converting an existing one into a smart one, being involved at the beginning of the process allows the design and wiring to be done cohesively and accurately which will ultimately save clients time and money.

Why choose Audio One? Aside from our unwavering passion for perfection and client satisfaction, it is our credentials. Home Technology Association-certified (HTA) is the first and only industry standard of excellence for home technology companies. Audio One has the Certification of Estate, which means we can optimize projects of large-scale luxury homes of 10,000 square feet and up. Audio One has been serving the most discerning clientele, including celebrities, with complex projects, all while maintaining client confidentiality.

Baltic Yachts created the 68 Café Racer to employ a number of ecofriendly systems and construction materials, including sustainable wood, electric motors and solar panels. Simultaneously, the shipyard designed the yacht as a “day sailer with attitude,” much like the Café Racer era in the 1960s, when British motorcyclists modified their bikes for speed over short distances. balticyachts.fi

CONCEPTS & CHARTERS

What are the current trends in the yachting world? Trends in yachting are tough because all clients have different tastes and preferences. Someone might like old wood and dark faucets, while another might like ultra-modern, minimalist vessels. As a general design trend, you can look at what’s happening in real estate. For example, where more modern-looking places are being built—like Miami and New York—you will see parallels in our business. What is the most important advice you would give to someone entering the yacht market? Finding the right broker—one you get along with—is critical! Don’t try to cut corners; it will cost you in the end. When research is done online, the decision is purely productbased. I’ve never seen a person charter a boat they initially inquired about. That’s just the entry point. With the right questions, a broker can help analyze the deal and find a boat that is right for a customer’s needs and wants. If you’re new to the industry and haven’t been on boats often or fully understand how layouts can affect your lifestyle, you could end up not being as comfortable as you could be. As you become more familiar with boating and layouts, you’ll progress and become a better boat or yacht owner—and by using a good broker, you’ll shortcut your learning curve. Northrop & Johnson’s ethos is to deliver extraordinary to every client in every aspect of their yachting experience. It’s essential to work with a yacht broker who believes that you are the most critical aspect of the deal to ensure your experience is extraordinary.

LEGENDARY LEADERS OF YACHT BROKERAGE

Ziriakus spent many years in the luxury world, working for Estée Lauder, Bridger Conway and multiple high-end real estate developers. With the yachting industry booming, we spoke to him to get his take on why seasoned yachters continue to choose Northrop & Johnson and what advice he would give to newcomers entering the boating world. What is behind Northrop & Johnson’s growth and success? The real formula for our success is that we take care of our people and their families—that’s our priority. Behind the scenes, it’s our stringent focus on and heavy investment in technology and intelligence, which allows us to know who our customers are so that we can provide them with extraordinary experiences. Where are most of your clients from? As a true international brokerage house, we have clients from all over the world. In the past, we were heavily focused on the U.S., but today, we are a global firm with global reach. We’re currently the fastest-growing brokerage house in Europe, and with offices from Asia-Pacific and back to San Diego, our clients are found in all four corners of the globe. What effect has the pandemic had on the boating/yachting business? It’s had a positive impact. There is security on the consumer demand side when you tell people they can’t go to restaurants, go to the mall or play golf. So what do people do? They go boating!

What is your goal for the company? As a fullservice yacht brokerage, we are here to bring clients through their entire life cycle, from their entry through charter to purchasing their first yacht, selling a yacht, putting their yacht on the market for charter and even building a new yacht with the expertise and assistance of our new-build specialists. Our goal is to provide an extraordinary 360-degree experience for clients in every facet of their yachting journey.

Additionally, as the only genuinely tech-savvy brokerage, we equip our brokers with the tools and intelligence needed to provide the absolute best for their clients.

How is yachting a safer travel option? Yachts are incredibly hygienic, insular environments. Whether you own or charter a yacht, the level of protection found on board is simply unparalleled to a luxury hotel or even a private villa. Yachts promise a level of safety and security that is second to none, which has many new clients thinking differently about enjoying their time on the water rather than ashore.

What size yachts do you offer? The 60- to 80-footers are our starting point, with 100- to 164-footers being our core. We also offer megayachts ranging from 200 feet and longer. We deal with these sizes for sales, purchase, charter and charter management.

What makes your brokers qualified? Many of our brokers have been yacht captains, chief stewards or on a yacht in some capacity, which means they know the mechanics in and out, the layouts of the boats and how they’ll best suit your lifestyle. They also have a good network of industry partners they can refer. They’ve traveled the seas—from New England to Alaska to the Caribbean and beyond— and they know life on board. They’re able to organize activities, know where reservations should be made and navigate trips to the right places to suit your needs—whether it’s a boys’ trip or a family getaway. But it’s more than just our individual brokers. We have a collaborative culture at Northrop & Johnson. Not only do our brokers rely on our internal network, but they also have vast networks of colleagues throughout the industry on which they can rely.

What’s on the horizon for Northrop & Johnson? We will be opening some new offices and locations throughout 2022. We also have a couple of very cool tools for clients coming live later this year. We are very excited about what’s on the horizon and look forward to continuing to deliver extraordinary every single day.

BY LYNETTE JANAC Daniel Ziriakus, president and chief operating officer of luxury yacht brokerage Northrop & Johnson, shares insight, tips and trends for the current yachting and chartering market.

In 1949, yachting aficionados Jim Northrop and George Johnson founded yacht brokerage firm Northrop & Johnson in New York City. Today, under the ownership of Kevin Merrigan, what was once a small brokerage has now turned into a prospering company with over 15 offices worldwide (Naples, Florida, is the newest location). The growth started when Daniel Ziriakus, the newly promoted president and chief operating officer, decided to rebrand the company.
