FORT LAUDERDALE, FL (September 9, 2026) — Some of the world’s most spectacular
superyachts will set anchor at the iconic, re-imagined Pier Sixty-Six on November 6–7, 2026, for
the 37th Annual “Boys & Girls Clubs Yacht Rendezvous”. Recognized as one of the largest
premier luxury yachting events in North America—and the largest benefiting a charity—the twoday
gathering draws ultra-VIP philanthropists, yacht owners, and industry influencers from
around the nation to support the vital mission of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Broward County.

Founded by automotive legends and civic leaders Rita and Rick Case, the high-profile weekend
blends world-class hospitality, exclusive superyacht access, and unparalleled networking—all
driven by a shared commitment to local youth.

Led by Event Co-Chairs Jessica and Mike Busacca, and Carla Taylor, the weekend kicks off
Friday night with the signature “Yacht Hop.” Guests will don their finest all-white cocktail attire
for an unforgettable evening touring an extraordinary fleet of luxury vessels dockside at Pier
Sixty-Six, complete with curated food pairings, live entertainment, and private vessel tours.

The celebration culminates Saturday evening with the black-tie “Yacht Rendezvous Gala,”
featuring high-stakes silent and live auctions of rare luxury experiences, custom jewelry, and
bespoke travel packages. The unforgettable evening features a special headline performance
by Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter and inspirational motivator, Mike Posner.

“The Rendezvous has grown into a powerful national tradition that bridges world-class luxury
with life-changing philanthropy,” said Chris Gentile, President & CEO of Boys & Girls Clubs of
Broward County. “The extraordinary generosity of our fleet owners, sponsors, and attendees
directly funds safe places, mentorship, and workforce programs for thousands of young people
who need us most every day.”
