In the January issue, we sail into history aboard the iconic Honey Fitz, a decommissioned presidential yacht that sailed under five U.S. presidents, including John F. Kennedy (who christened it with its present name, the nickname of his grandfather John Francis Fitzgerald). ⁠
⁠
Originally built in 1931 by Defoe Boat & Motor Works for Montgomery Ward tycoon Sewell Avery, the 93-foot vessel has undergone several modifications over the years, including a new hull purchased by the late oil tycoon William Kallop. ⁠
⁠
Now owned by Charlie Modica, the developer behind Jupiter’s Charlie & Joe’s at Love Street, the restored vessel is now available for private charters from its home at the Pelican Club.⁠

Let It Fly!⁠
⁠
The North Palm Beach Rowing Club in Juno Beach was founded in 2007 and started out with adult programs, adding youth rowing in 2009. ⁠
⁠
Today, the club offers a mix of youth and adult programs ranging from camps and classes for beginners to competitive rowing. The kids at the club compete in U19 events (under 19) across the country. At the 2024 Head of the H***h in Tennessee, Tyla Chance and teammate Viktoria Ekstrand took home second and first place, respectively, in the Women’s U19 1x (individual) race. As a duo, the girls took first place in the Women’s U19 2x race. And the club’s four-person team of Chance, Ekstrand, Kaitlyn DeMaria, and Chloe Ryder won the Women’s U19 4x.⁠

Golf fans who want to get up close and personal with their favorite golfers can now do just that at the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens. The center is home to TGL presented by SoFi, a new tech-infused golf league.

We’re kicking off the new year with an issue that pays homage to our beautiful coastal location.

Hop aboard the Honey Fitz, which recently underwent a renovation to restore it to its original grandeur. The storied yacht was once owned by former President John F. Kennedy (who named it for his grandfather) and is now owned by Charlie Modica (of Charlie & Joe’s at Love Street). It’s docked outside Pelican Club if you want to take a peek.

Charlie and Pelican Club owner Michael Lessing have teamed up to offer private charters on the historic yacht, and the duo joined us—along with Charlie & Joe’s co-owner Joe Namath, Captain Greg Albritton, and first mate Kate Kiefer—for a fun photo shoot aboard the Honey Fitz.

Read on about the Honey Fitz and more in the January issue.

Just in time for the holidays, we had the pleasure of dining at the home of Michael Rolchigo, chef/owner of Tavolena in Jupiter.⁠
⁠
Michael and his wife, Lisa, welcomed us for a dinner showcasing some of the staples they often serve to family and friends during the holidays. Chef Michael pulled out all the stops: myriad appetizers, entrées including a Chateaubriand with black currant demi-glace and his signature Sunday Italian Feast (meatballs, sausage, boneless pork ribs, ziti), homemade basil ice cream, and more, plus a delicious Portuguese sangria to wash it all down. ⁠
⁠
Lisa, who used to own Trovare in Jupiter, showed off her incredible interior design skills with a magical tablescape decorated in the spirit of both the holidays and Jupiter’s seaside location.⁠

Tony DiTerlizzi might never have become the acclaimed illustrator he is today had it not been for an art teacher at Stuart’s South Fork High who noticed and nurtured his creative gifts.⁠
⁠
Now, DiTerlizzi is the talented illustrator of a slew of beloved fantasy books. He began his career doing illustrations for Dungeons & Dragons, and he created two of the most popular children’s fantasy series of the moment—The Spiderwick Chronicles and WondLa.⁠
⁠
The Spiderwick Chronicles and WondLa had a resurgence this year, and were both as television series. The Spiderwick Chronicles on Roku stars big names like Christian Slater, while stars like Brad Garrett and Teri Hatcher lend their voices to the animated WondLa. ⁠
⁠
Learn all about the local creative's fantastical journey, from the illustrators that inspired him to the stories he's hoping to tell next, in the December issue.⁠

Nostalgia is front and center when you enter Hap & H***h, a new bar and restaurant that opened in April in Jupiter. A gallery wall features family photos of owners Cassidy Flannery and Dan Newkirk—including photos of the restaurant’s namesake, “Hap,” otherwise known as Flannery’s grandfather Leroy. Regular customers have also brought in their own framed photos to add to the collection, making the space feel incredibly warm and familial.⁠
⁠
“We’re hopeful that over the course of time, our walls will be full of all the people who have made Hap & H***h what it is,” says Flannery. “We’re a five-star dive bar. We’ve made it very homey and clean, nothing pretentious.”⁠

At the bottom of Kirsten Norman’s bio on the website is a quote from Oscar Wilde: "I have the simplest of taste. I am always satisfied with the best!" ⁠
⁠
The truth is that while Norman has built a reputation for delivering the very best in designer living, her tastes are anything but simple. The designer's portfolio showcases an eclectic design sense born from a life lived around the world.⁠
⁠
This is certainly true of the home she is busy designing for herself and husband Greg Norman at the new Ritz Carlton Residences in Palm Beach Gardens.
⁠
Preview the project and view photos of Norman’s design aesthetic in the November issue!⁠
