Hot Mega-yachts Dock at Rybovich

They may be fuel-guzzlers and demand a crew of 20 people, but boy do these machines look good!
Nearly 50 mega- and super-yachts are gleaming at the berths at the new Rybovich Marina on North Flagler in West Palm through late Saturday. It’s all for a mega-sized fundraiser for the Broward Boys & Girls Club, and it’s hosted by the family of Miami Dolphins owner H. Wayne Huizenga.

One of the shindig’s revenue streams: The owners of each of the yachts parked at the marina paid up to $20,000 to get in. And in addition to several Huizengas, those include car dealer Rick Case; nursing home mogul Elizabeth Fago; NASCAR team owner Felix Sabates; venture capitalist Doug Von Allmen; Palm Beach charity circuit stalwart Larry DeGeorge; insurance mogul Christine Lynn, as in Lynn University; and car collector John Staluppi.
And a second stream: the downturn-afflicted Joe The Plumber types are paying $500-a-head to “yacht hop.”

Thought you might want to check this out–for $500 you could see all the yatchs
Thanks for the offer but, I’ve already been invited by the “Boss Lady” to stay on her very LARGE yacht named, “PERMANENT ALIMONY”. The new yacht is “More than “HALF” again larger than her previous yacht named, “Alienation”. I don’t believe that $500 would be enough to see the new yacht however, if the Boss Lady says it’s OK, then you would need to come alone because she doesn’t allow hookers on board.
THANKS FOR DOING SUCH A GREAT JOB OF COVERING THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB RENDEVOUS. IT IS MUCH APPRECIATED. THE GIRLS SHOULD HAVE GIVEN YOU SLIPPERS ON LINDA LOU!
