Tech Mogul Michael Saylor, Owner of Entourage Party Yacht, Starts Fractional Superyacht Ownership Program

Back in January we reported that the cast of the upcoming Entourage movie was filming some wild party scenes with topless models in Miami aboard the impressive $30 million  Usher superyacht. Now the vessel’s owner, tech billionaire Michael Saylor, is using the luxury yacht as the crown jewel in a new company called Fleet Miami that he’s positioning as, according to a post on his Facebook timeline as reported by  Pursuitist , “NetJets for yachts, albeit more exclusive and less ambitious." Saylor intends to sell memberships starting at $250,000 per year, which will give cardholders access to the 154-foot  Usher, as well as Saylor’s other yachts — including the 147-foot Feadship Harle , the 87-foot Warren Yacht Moksha , and the 36-foot cruiser Julia .

“Michael Saylor saw a big need to simplify not only the ownership of yachts but also the need to streamline the charter process,” Captain Glen Allen, fleet captain of Fleet Miami, tells The Superyacht Owner . “Mr. Saylor hates inefficiency. He looked at how when we added a second and then third yacht to his stable, the crew became much more efficient. He saw that with multiple yachts we could utilise the crew much more efficiently. But then the inventory of available days of use grew and he was not able to fill those days — he felt we needed a system to take advantage of that.”

Can’t afford a full membership? Saylor is also selling seven-day charters through the Florida Keys for $70,000 to $280,000, depending on which yacht you choose. Usher , which had been available for charter at $225,000 per week, is a high performance motor yacht built by the renowned Delta Marine shipyard in 2007. It features one of the most distinctive interiors of any vessel, with a tropical-themed design scheme that includes custom glasswork, bamboo, leather and rich exotic woods (like Wenge, Bubinga and Koa). Perfect for partying, it features a hot tub, wet bar and two onboard margarita machines. Saylor, once the richest person in Washington, D.C., lost an estimated six billion in a single day during the tech bubble in 2000, but has since recovered a fair amount of his fortune.

YOU CAN SEE THIS 154-FOOT, LOCALLY OWNED SHIP AT MIAMI YACHT SHOW. IT HELPS THE ECONOMY.

• Posted 02-13-2020
• Economy  
• Florida   Boat Show  

Local tech executive Michael Saylor’s 154-foot luxury motor yacht is called USHER.

No, the name has nothing to do with the R&B singer — though the vessel’s Polynesian and Art Deco interior does give it flair.

For Glen Allen, who oversees Saylor’s boats — yes, he owns several — the story of USHER and the other megayachts at this year’s  Miami Yacht Show  is not another wealthy Miami-area resident with a large ship.

Rather, it’s the story of how these ships comprise an essential part of the Miami-area economy. And USHER, the largest locally owned boat in this year’s show, which opens Thursday, is a textbook example, he says.

USHER was commissioned in 2007 by Seattle-based Delta Marine — “one of the last quality American large yacht builders left in the U.S.,” Allen says. Its first owner, Jerry Herbst, had built up a series of gas stations and casinos under the  Terrible Herbst brand , and decided to christen it “Mr. Terrible.”

Its eventual fate in Herbst’s hands was indeed unfortunate. Herbst was forced to sell the vessel in 2009 shortly after his company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy as the global financial crisis hit. The ship went without a new owner until 2013, when Saylor purchased it after catching sight of it at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. The biggest reason for the purchase was also the simplest, Allen says: With just a 7 1/2-foot draft, it would fit in the dock behind Saylor’s Miami Beach residence on Indian Creek. The name USHER comes from the name of a software product sold by Saylor’s company, MicroStrategy.

The vessel’s cruisings over the years have taken it up to the Washington, D.C., area, where MicroStrategy is based, as well as to the Caribbean, the Bahamas, and New England. Saylor entertains corporate clients in addition to friends and family, Allen says. It also plays host to scientific research projects as part of the The International SeaKeepers Society.

Given the multi-hour effort it takes to get the boat out of Indian Creek and into open water, the yacht show will represent one of the rare occasions where a local can catch a glimpse of the vessel up close.

Allen says the boat should not just be viewed as a local attraction — its impact is much wider.

“We’re supporting the local economy through vendors that service the yacht,” he said. “It really is a commerce-producing platform for the local economy.”

These vessels also create or support jobs; in USHER’s case, 12 directly, Allen says. And when one considers how many boats like USHER are docked in the Miami area, Allen says, it becomes clear how these yachts perform a vital function in the local economy.

“I’ve heard people say, ‘Well, there’s that big rich guy with that big fancy yacht — why spend so much money on that?’ They don’t realize how much goes into that boat, and goes to support the local economy.”

According to Informa, the 32,000 visitors expected at the five-day yacht show will have a statewide economic impact of $486 million, including 3,576 jobs supported. In 2018, total estimated sales by Florida companies during the show reached $252.6 million; Miami-Dade companies contributed more than $64.9 million in estimated sales of marine products. In 2018, the total excise and sales taxes generated within Florida from the show came to an estimated $31.8 million.

The Miami Yacht Show is being held concurrently with the Miami International Boat Show, which features a wider variety of boat products geared toward more mainstream buyers. Together, the two shows will feature more than 2,000 boats on display, representing the largest marine showcase in the world.

Vessels featured at this year’s yacht show include:

• The U.S. debut of SilverYachts’ 278-foot BOLD
• The world debut of Hatteras Yacht’s GT65 (65 feet)
• The world debut of Monte Carlo Yachts’ MCY 70 Skylounge (70 feet), the first model of the new MCY Collection

Azimut Yachts will also showcase 18 yachts, including three U.S. debuts: The Azimut 78 (78 feet), Azimut S8 (80 feet), and Azimut Grande 32 Metri (105 feet). The show will also serve as the world premier of the Azimut Verve 47 (47 feet).

Meanwhile, the boat show will feature:

• The Scarab 285 ID from Benteau, billed as the largest recreation jet boat on the market, topping out at 54 miles-per-hour and zooming from 0 to 30 miles per hour in less than five seconds.
• Lexus’ LY 650, a 65-foot yacht from the luxury carmaker.
• The world debut of Nautitech’s 47 Power Cat catamaran, which reaches a top speed of 25 miles per hour thanks to two Volvo 300hp engines.

New 'Entourage' Movie Yacht Scenes Filmed on Charter Yacht USHER

• Share this on Facebook
• Share this on X
• Share via Email

By Editorial Team   20 January 2014

The stunning 46m/151’ charter yacht ‘USHER’ was the setting for a number of scenes shot for the eagerly awaited ‘Entourage’ movie starring Adrian Grenier, which finally began filming on Thursday 16th January.

The scenes were shot in Miami on day two of filming where Grenier and his four original co-stars, Kevin Dillon (Johnny ‘Drama’), Kevin Connolly (Eric Weinstein) and Jerry Ferrara (Turtle) were surrounded by a crowd of partying models. Even though weather conditions were less than ideal for the bikini-clad models, luxury charter yacht ‘USHER’ offered the perfect surroundings for the movie, boasting stylish and spacious living areas and an array of outdoor amenities.

The eighth and final series of hit HBO ‘Entourage’, which is roughly based on the early career of executive producer Mark Wahlberg, was wrapped up in 2011 and plans for a big-budget movie have since been in the pipeline.

Speculation was rife last year about whether the movie would even go ahead with certain actors holding out for bigger salaries. All rumours were put to rest though last week with all cast members looking happy at being reunited and writer-director Doug Ellin even took to Instagram to post a picture of himself on board ‘USHER’ flanked either side by models which he captioned ‘rough first day of shoot’.

It was originally thought that supermodel Kate Upton would be cast for the female lead in the upcoming movie, but it looks as though Danish model Nina Agdal who was pictured on board the superyacht with the rest of the cast, may have landed the final role.

Although filming is clearly underway, there is no release date for the ‘Entourage’ movie as yet. The award-winning Delta Marine-built charter yacht ‘USHER’ offers accommodation for up to 12 guests in five luxurious staterooms, for more details on locations and availability contact your yacht charter broker .

Just like you wouldn’t borrow your shady neighbour’s jalopy car, you don’t want to rent just anyone’s boat. That’s a recipe for being up the proverbial creek with no paddle and, potentially, no engine. Yikes!

No, you want to rent a boat from a trusted person or agency! However, you also don’t want the price tag to be inflated by the many hands of grubby middlemen. 

Enter stage left, SAILO .

They are a database of verified boat representatives with over 30,000 boats to choose from! Think of them like the Airbnb of boats . There is information about each and every boat rental as well as honest customer reviews about their experiences renting through the owner. 

You can ask your questions directly to the representative to ensure the boat you choose is perfectly suited to your adventures. Your bespoke honeymoon, your day on the water with the family, or even your sinfully epic bachelor(ette) party just got that much easier to organise!

Sailo is the ultimate way to rent the boat life – for a week or a day!

Simply hop online, browse through the hundreds of options in your desired location, find one you like, and message the owner! It can be organised entirely online. Then, it’s just a matter of turning up at the dock and sailing off into the sunset. 

There are no worries about getting stuck up the proverbial creek here.

There are several reasons you might rent a boat in Miami ! Maybe you want to be a baller and splash out on a romantic weekend away, maybe you want to do some game fishing, or maybe you want to improve your sailing skills. 

Renting a luxury boat can be the ultimate way to commemorate an anniversary, or host an epic reunion of friends. Generally, when you charter a luxury boat , you also pay for a captain and crew. This means the vacation is truly hands-off, and you can get popping that champagne. What could be better?

Fishing for those epic game fish like marlin and swordfish simply cannot be better than from the back of a strong powerboat. Not everyone has one of those bad boys tucked away in the garage at home, but that doesn’t need to stop you! Simply check out the boat rentals in Miami that are designed for fishing, and tick that fishing trip off your bucket list.

Perhaps you’re thinking of taking an extended sailing trip or moving aboard your own boat. One way to get some confidence and experience is to rent a sailboat. 

In Miami, you can rent a sailboat ‘bareboat’ style. This means there is no captain or crew and you are responsible for all food and fuel onboard. Talk about some kickass preparation for your own boat adventures!

Trawling through hundreds of boats can start to feel like unnecessary admin. Bleh! That’s why we’ve stepped up and found the best boat rentals in Miami! 

We’ve made sure to find a little something for every kind of seafarer, and have split the top selections into specific adventure niches. So go forth and find your perfect vessel and get to swashbuckling!

Best Boat Rental for Families in Miami – Custom Lagoon 52

• Air conditioning
• 6 – 14 guests
• Captain optional

This catamaran will be a favourite of families looking for a getaway on the water! It is a spacious boat with a comfortable cockpit and interior. There are swim ladders on both sides for easy access to the clear blue waters. 

You can choose to rent this boat bareboat and test your sailing abilities and provisioning skills. This way, you can have the freedom to go where you choose by customising your itinerary yourself. Nothing says family bonding quite like a week-long charter together! If you opt for a bareboat rental, make sure you know all the boating regulations in Miami .

Or instead, choose to charter the boat with a captain included. They can handle everything while you can kick back in the glorious Miami sun. 

There’s plenty of room on board for the kids to spread out. Plus, the catamaran’s shallow draft means you can anchor nice and close to sure-to-please swimming spots!

Epic Party Boat in Miami – Trident Pontoon PARTY BOAT

• High-end bluetooth sound system
• 20 – 49 guests
• Captain included

Oh, here we go, you party animals! This pontoon is well set up to accommodate a large group of people who want to DANCE! There is great deck space, a bar, and a comfortable bathroom (a good place to hide once you’ve had a few too many methinks hehe). 

You can rent this boat by the hour, for a day trip or a sunset cruise. The experienced captain and mate know all the best swimming spots so it will be all fun in the sun. 

Chuck the floating mats out the back and pump the music! Or, light up the deck with LED lights, blast the beats and enjoy Miami’s waterway by night. There are endless possibilities… 

But what’s certain, is a damn good time! 

Over-the-Top Luxurious Boat Rental in Miami – VINTAGE 1926 MOTOR YACHT

• Classic 1920s yacht aesthetic

It’s probably best to save this beautiful boat for those truly special occasions, but hot damn if it isn’t worth the price of entry! It stands at 122 feet of pure luxury. The interiors are classic and stylish, and yet the polished wood helps it retain a warm and welcoming atmosphere. 

This is a hands-off, suit on, kind of deal. There is a dedicated chef who can cater for all guests and dietary requirements.
