This year’s Winterfest Boat Parade marked the 40th Anniversary of the Parade themed “Rockin’ Boats & Holiday Floats.” Nearly 100 boats from compact cruisers to massive barges were all adorned in holiday decorations as they set navigated from downtown Fort Lauderdale up the Intracostal waterways. Charter One was proud to take place in the celebrations by having two vessels participate: the Floridian Princess and the Summer Wind.
