Quintess, LRW is taking to the high seas with its latest acquisition, a 70-foot luxury yacht dubbed Lady Quintess. The Viking Sport Cruiser is capable of doing upwards of 30 knots on the open sea. Quintess joins fellow destination clubs Exclusive Resorts, Solstice and Distinctive Holiday Homes in offering a yacht to its members. Club members will be able to book trips of three to six nights on the yacht for a premium charge added to the included plan nights.

Lady Quintess will be based out of three ports, depending on the time of year. From late fall through the spring, the three-stateroom yacht will cruise out of Miami for trips around the Florida Keys. For a month in both spring and fall, the yacht will be based in Annapolis, where it will explore the waters of the Chesapeake Bay and the mid-Atlantic coast. During the summer, the yacht will travel further up the Eastern Seaboard to Hyannis on Cape Cod for trips to summer time meccas, Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket, and Block Island, off the coast of Rhode Island. During the winter, when the ship is based out of Florida, members can expect some flexibility in scheduling, touring and port options; the Lady Quintess will keep to a more exacting schedule during the summer months due to high demand for use.

The purchase of this yacht follows overwhelming member demand for such a vacation option, according to Ben Addoms, Quintess’s founder and executive vice president. Booking a trip on the yacht will come at a premium for members, with an added charge on top of the base plan nights used during the trip. A weekend reservation, with three nights aboard the yacht, costs $8,000. A trip of the same length during weekdays costs $6,000 and a weeklong, six-night cruise runs $14,000. The additional charges reflect both the cost of the crew and the ship’s maintenance.

The Lady Quintess is not Quintess’ first yacht offering. In 2006, its first ship, the Essence, a 92-foot sailing yacht, sank after it tragically collided with a freighter, killing one crew member. There were no destination club members aboard the boat at the time, and Quintess has not had a sea-based option since the accident.
