Built in 1939, the luxury yacht El Presidente, with its teak deck and main salon trimmed in teak and mahogany, has the elegant ambience of a bygone era. Used by many former presidents, including Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Nixon, Ford, Reagan and Clinton, the ship has been renovated to provide state-of-the-art amenities. The aft deck of the yacht provides comfortable seating for outdoor views; the main salon inside provides a grand setting for a dinner party or an informal buffet. El Presidente can be chartered for black-tie events, beach parties, pleasure cruises, holiday and special events, with food customized to order.
