Miami may be best known for its vibrant cultural diversity, nightlife and fabulous beaches, but that only begins to explore the delights offered by the city. There is another fascinating world that exists just beyond its shores%u2014a world only discovered by private yacht.Once limited to the super wealthy, yacht charter and yacht ownership have but been a distant dream for many, and for most, only a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Now, however, a 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.
