HONEY FITZ

Inside tour of President Kennedy's Yacht

50 years ago today, the United States were struck by the loss of their president, John F. Kennedy. As many, we figure this was worth a little tribute. And what a greater way to remember than making a tour on the Honey Fitz, the former presidential yacht! The 93-foot wooden yacht belongs to a different era. It was built in 1931 for a businessman from Chicago then expropriated in the 40s by the U.S. government. The first president to use it as an official presidential yacht was Harry Truman but it’s Kennedy who gave it its name, after his grandfather. The yacht has since been sold to a private buyer and recently been restored.
