A new adventure
LADYBIRD
The Antique Yacht Collection acquired Ladybird, formerly known as Tupelo Honey from the Donal Benoit estate on the 24th of April 2024. It marks a new start for AYC after the tragic loss of our CEO, Wife and Mother, Alana Markowitz, on the 9th of February 2024. This new boat needed a caretaker; Travy (my daughter) and I needed another boat to make a living as a family business after our heartbreaking loss. Alanas' nickname to family was Ladybird...
PRIVATE & FLEXABILE
Only you and your Tribe. NOBODY ELSE... except the crew. Your crew comprises of a Captain and Mate. Gratuity for your crew is not include in the initial booking price. We have flexabile routes and options depending on the amount of time selected. You choose your adventure. Weather it be a casual harbor sail or a voyage to Mackerel Cove to put the hook down for lunch... just let us know.
Flexible Pricing
Our aim is to ensure fair pricing accessible to all. We employ four simultaneous pricing strategies: 1. Group size and tiered pricing: Larger groups incur higher costs, but the per-person rate remains relatively stable. 2. Duration of the charter: Choose between our 1-hour 45-minute Harbor Sail or the 3-hour 30-minute Adventure Cruise. Longer durations result in higher costs. 3. Time of day: Morning charters are priced lower than midday and afternoon ones, with sunset charters commanding a premium. 4. Day of the week: Monday through Thursday offers lower rates compared to Friday through Sunday and public holidays.
Food & Beverage
Food and beverage options are endless, as it is all BYOB. We provide a cooler with ice and a bottle opener for drinks. Glasses, plates, cutlery, and other paraphernalia are on board, but feel free to bring your own. There are a multitude of good places to pick up food that are very close to our departure dock. The most obvious being MOTHER (Pizza and Gelato) and The Quencher.
