Captain's Log June 7th 2008- Savannah Port

Our bare-bone crew of two left the Lucid Yacht Group headquarters in Ft. Lauderdale early Saturday morning. Our rented van was packed full with equipment & provisions for the trip. Heading north for 7 hours we arrived to our destination, the historical city of Savannah Georgia. We could hardly wait to greet the newest member of the Symbol family, and assume our dualrole of welcoming committee and offloading crew. The all new redesigned Sarin Symbol 50 Pilothouse, was sitting on the deck of the freighter waiting to splash into the Savannah river.

The latest offering from renowned megayacht designer Jack Sarin, the Symbol 50 Pilothouse unites Jack's hallmark lines with Symbol's exquisite craftsmanship. Symbol approaches the 50 Pilothouse model with a modular concept which offers affordable luxury and expedited delivery times." In layman's terms, this translates to a shorter delivery time in comparison to Symbol's semi-custom designs.

Captain's Log June 8th to 9th- Savannah Riverfront district

We are preparing the Symbol 50 for her shake-down cruise to Ft. Lauderdale, where the bulk of the commissioning will take place. From our dock, on the Savannah River we can see the famous Riverwalk and the constant flow of visitors walking about. Taking the ghost tours or sightseeing her 21 squares is not the plan. For the last two days we have checked all electronic and mechanical gear, installed the anchor & pulpit, aligned the compass, and cleaned the dust off from her long trip across the Pacific.

Captain's Log June 10th – 12th- Fort Lauderdale Bound

We Left Savannah at dawn, cranked her engines and tried a few wide open runs, she handled them with grace. The sky was deep blue and our course was charted for the day. Passing unfamiliar landscape was refreshing and a drastic change from the congested south Florida waterways. We were winding down the river surrounded by grassy banks, and no boats in sight. A quick fueling stop, holy molly gas prices...thank goodness she's not a thirsty girl, and we started our outside run. There are days when the sea-gods bless you with perfect conditions and during our voyage they were epic. Flat is too disorderly to describe the seas we encountered. Throughout the voyage we were visited by playful companions who enjoyed our wake. The last leg of the trip was an unforgettable night-run starting at Cape Canaveral inlet and docking the boat 11 hours later in Ft. Lauderdale.

The Symbol 50 Pilothouse, the first of a few Summer Inventory boats, is available for immediate delivery. If you would like to see this mini-megayacht in person, call our offices 954.318.7973 and will gladly schedule a visit.
