ursting with culture, fashion, and
history, Miami not only attracts,
but also inspires the rich and
famous. With endless adventures
on land and water, it is the perfect
playground for the elite. Miami provides it all, from
the very best in designer boutiques and high-end
shopping to world-class cuisine, and first class
hotels and spas.
Miami may be best known for its vibrant cultural
diversity, nightlife and fabulous beaches, but that
only beg ins to explore the delights offered by the
city. There is another fascinating world that exists
just beyond its shores—a world only discovered
by private yacht.

new opportunity for experiencing the world of
luxury yachting has arose, via the Fleet Miami
Membership Club.
Avid yachtsman and experienced superyacht
owner Michael Saylor had a vision for sharing the
yachting experience with others. After years of
chartering and owning yachts himself, Michael
founded Fleet Miami, a concept whereby a fleet
of yachts in a variety of length and styles would
be available to Fleet Miami members at soughtafter locations around the around the world all
year long. For Michael -a true “out-of-the-box”
thinker, who holds dual degrees in Aeronautics
and Astronautics (spaceship design) and Science,
Technology and Society from MIT - being released
from the confines of a shoreside hotel and given
the true freedom to explore that is afforded by a
private yacht was an experience that he wanted
Fleet Miami to emulate.
