FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- (Business Wire)

Fraser Yachts is honored to have played a leading role in the record-breaking success of the 36th Annual Boys & Girls Clubs of Broward County Yacht Rendezvous, held November 7–8 at the newly reimagined Pier Sixty-Six. Under the guidance of our COO, Mike Busacca, and his co-chairs, this year’s event sold out and raised more than $2 million to support vital youth programs across Broward County.

As the world’s largest yacht charity event, the Yacht Rendezvous reflects Fraser Yachts’ commitment to community impact and the values that unite the yachting world: generosity, excellence, and shared purpose. Hundreds of guests—including yacht owners, philanthropists, and community leaders—joined for two unforgettable evenings celebrating luxury and philanthropy.

Founded by Rita and Rick Case alongside Ken Denison, this year’s event was co-chaired by Jessica and Mike Busacca and Carla Taylor, with Felix Sabates serving as Honorary Chair. “We’re humbled by the overwhelming support and record turnout at this year’s Yacht Rendezvous,” said Busacca. “Not only did we raise the bar for luxury yachting events in South Florida, but we raised more than $2 million for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Broward County. The generosity of our sponsors and guests ensures we can continue to help create brighter futures for the youth who need it most.”

Guests enjoyed an exceptional program of experiences, from yacht tours and gourmet dining to live and silent auctions. Friday’s Yacht Hop and White Dinner and Dance Party featured DJ Irie, while Saturday’s Gala dazzled with a performance by Robin Thicke and hosted by Good Morning America’s Will Reeve. NFL Hall of Famer and Boys & Girls Clubs alum Andre Reed joined fellow athletes and celebrities to celebrate this milestone.

With its stunning new home at Pier Sixty-Six and record-breaking philanthropic impact, the Yacht Rendezvous—guided by Fraser Yachts’ leadership—continues to set the standard for South Florida’s luxury yachting events while reinforcing our dedication to giving back.
