The premier fundraiser for this international women’s charitable organization featured a nautical theme and “Sail Away” tagline, which made it a natural fit for us to be onboard for the event.  Featuring music, silent and dessert auctions, a VIP “yacht experience,” and numerous other giveaways, the evening affair was held as a pre-party leading up to the organization’s February 20^th 5K Riverwalk Race, and raised over $20,000 for the Junior League’s community projects.

With over 230 members and friends in attendance, many sporting various nautical-themed attire, guests had the opportunity to tour the brand new 48’ Hudson Power Cat, dockside at the Shooters/Grateful Palate complex and listed for purchase with our very own Dan Sammis.  Featuring a stunning full-beam master stateroom, and two additional VIP cabins, all with ensuite heads and showers, the 48 Hudson reaches a impressive top speed of 24 knots while still maintaining a comfortable stability both at sea and on the dock. 

Denison Yacht Sales also awarded one generous auction bidder their own private sunset Intracoastal Waterway tour, complete with bubbles and bites, on a shimmering new Monte Carlo 5 yacht.
