Mercury Jets offers Boat Show package
It is a truth universally acknowledged that private aviation and yachting go hand in hand, so a luxury experience package targeting a boat show audience is aimed at exploiting the crossover between air and sea.

Fort Lauderdale International airport-based Mercury Jets, the private charter division of Monarch Air Group, is collaborating with five star Miami-based Acqualina Resort & Spa for the 59th Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show at the end of October. Its Fly & Sea luxury package includes a three-night stay in a luxury three bedroom ocean front suite at the hotel with a $250 voucher to dine at Il Mulino New York restaurant. Guests will also receive five VIP tickets to the boat show with transportation from their private jet.

Mercury Jet's white glove concierge team will also arrange a round-trip flight from any New York City airport to Fort Lauderdale International airport and help clients select the aircraft that best suits their needs.

Executive director David Gitman says: “We are looking forward to what this enhanced experience will do for the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show and the community at large.”

Rates for the package are $38,282 for a light jet, $44,282 mid-size and $54,282 heavy jet, valid for the duration of the show.
