Volvo Ocean Race The 2011-12 Volvo Ocean Race (http://www.volvooceanrace.com/en/home.html) kicked off Oct. 29 in Alicante, Spain, and leg 6 of the 10-continent race will end on May 6 for a stopover and 14-day celebration at the Downtown Miami Race Village (http://volvooceanracemiami.org/the-village-venue/), a 27-acre expanse filled with interactive installations and scheduled race-centric events. Aboard a Charter One luxury yacht rental you have a first class seat to witness the six sailing vessels speed into the Port of Miami, one by one. At the helm stand six crews of 11 men from 15 countries around the world, many of them Olympic gold medalists and America’s Cup champions. In the past five months, each one has helped navigate a route from Spain eastward, around Africa, through Indonesian islands, skirting Antarctic waters, and up the eastern coast of South America.
On Saturday, May 19th the final weekend, in-port races pit the tournament’s crews against each other on a short, close-quarters course within the harbor. What better way to see these crews in action than aboard a Charter One yacht. The Summer Wind is the perfect place to enjoy the show from.  This luxurious yacht can accommodate 60 of your friends and family.  We can pick you up at one of our many dock locations throughout South Florida so no waiting in traffic for your group.Charter One has the perfect venue for you to enjoy the exit of these magnificent sailing vessels as they leave the Port of Miami on Sunday, May 20th to continue the Volvo Ocean Race.  The morning will start with amateur VIP sailors pitting their sail-wrangling and tide-control skills against the professional competitors in the harbor pro-am race before the six competing teams leave port for their next leg to Lisbon.Cuisine and beverages on the yacht are catered to your specifications. Charter One offers a premium open bar including soft drinks, beer/wine, cappuccino/espresso station and all of the Mimosas and Bloody Marys you could ask for.
