Presidential yachts: Inside the superyachts owned by world leaders

BOAT discovers the stories behind the yachts owned by US Presidents, world leaders and heads of state, including one of the largest superyachts built to date .

One of the world’s largest superyachts , Savarona was launched in 1931 by German yard Blohm+Voss for American heiress Emily Roebling Cadwalader, and was sold to the Turkish government six years later to serve as the presidential yacht for Kemal Atatürk, the founder of modern Turkey. She was given a $35million refit in 1989 and has been used both for private cruises as well as for hosting various world leaders for official business on board.

Savarona was for a time offered on the market for superyacht charters around Istanbul, although she is no longer available. Key features on-board this 135 metre superyacht include a Turkish hammam bath that spans the entire 16 metre beam, a swimming pool, a gold-trimmed grand staircase, a private cinema and a library suite furnished with many of the personal artefacts belonging to Atatürk.

More about this yacht

Uss sequoia.

At just 32 metres LOA, USS Sequoia is the smallest presidential yacht on our list, but her history is no less storied. Designed by John Trumpy and launched in 1926 at the Mathis Yacht Building Company in Camden, New Jersey, she was used to intercept moonshine smugglers in the prohibition era.

She has hosted a series of US presidents, including John F. Kennedy, who celebrated his last birthday on board, and Richard Nixon, who took a cruise with more than a dozen baseball stars after the 1969 All Star Game. After being decommissioned in 1977, she has since been purchased by a private company and is currently undergoing restoration works in Maine at the French & Webb Inc refit shipyard.

USS Mayflower

Launched by J&G Thompson in 1896, USS Mayflower was one of the earliest presidential yachts, hosting five commanders in chief from Theodore Roosevelt to Calvin Coolidge over a 24-year period before Herbert Hoover had her decommissioned in 1929. 

Measuring 83 metres LOA, her active years were filled with various adventures. She participated in the Spanish–American War, served as a government vessel to various Caribbean nations, and was even used for a 1905 peace conference that helped to bring about the end of the Russo-Japanese War. After exploring the arctic waters of Greenland and Labrador as a sealer, and serving in the Israeli Navy as well as in the US Coast Guard during World War II, USS Mayflower was broken up in 1955.

Trump Princess

Delivered in 1980 to a design by Jon Bannenberg , this 85.9 metre motor yacht was once the plaything of US President Donald Trump. Upon purchasing the Benetti , Trump refitted her interiors extensively at a cost of $8.5 million. The full-beam owners suite featured a tortoise shell ceiling, a three metre wide bed and a secret exit, while the ensuite bathroom, finished in onyx, was completed with a sauna and 13-nozzel shower hand-carved into the shape of a scallop shell. Able to host up to 52 people, other interior highlights included everything from a patisserie and three-chair hair salon to a screening room with an 800-film library and a hospital with an operating theatre.

Used for cruising along the East Coast with his family, Donald Trump bought Trump Princess , he says, “because I was buying a great piece of art at a ridiculously low price”. She has since been renamed Kingdom 5KR .

The 28 metre commuterstyle motor yacht Honey Fitz was a home-from-home for the Kennedys and an important feature of the Camelot years of John F. Kennedy's presidency. The vessel that became the unofficial presidential yacht was built by Defoe in 1931 for financier Sewel Avery, who called her Lenore after his daughter - JFK, after taking the oath of office in January 1961, promptly renamed her Honey Fitz in honour of his maternal grandfather, John Francis Fitzgerald. It was on board this yacht that JFK celebrated his last birthday in 1963.

Honey Fitz was used to take visitors down the Potomac river to Mount Vernon for state dinners, and between May and September hosted the family as they cruised around Cape Cod. Statesmen and business leaders were frequent guests and British prime minister Harold Macmillan, as well as Hollywood stars Marilyn Monroe and Peter Lawford, were also entertained aboard. Honey Fitz was inherited by successive presidents but eventually sold in the late 90's to William Kallop, who's grandfather had been at Princeton with JFK, for $5.9 million.

USS Potomac

One of two US Presidential yachts that still survives to this day and the only one open to the public, USS Potomac was used by Franklin D. Roosevelt as his floating base from 1936-1945. Famous guests who FDR hosted aboard this 50 metre former US Coast Guard vessel included royals at sea King George VI of the United Kingdom and Crown Princess Märtha of Norway.

In the 80's she was briefly owned by Rock and Roll icon Elvis Presley, and in the 21st century, her escapades included being a set for the film actors Joaquin Phoenix, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Amy Adams. She now lies along the coast of Oakland, California, having been preserved as a National Historic Landmark. She is open for dockside tours and regularly cruises through San Francisco Bay.

USS Williamsburg

At the end of World War II, USS Williamsburg took over from USS Potomac as the presidential yacht. Harry Truman was particularly fond — he took her to Key West for a vacation in 1951, and used her as a base for talks with British prime minister Winston Churchill and Mexican president Miguel Alemán. Truman’s successor, Dwight Eisenhower was less enamoured and had her decommissioned after just one cruise aboard. The 74 metre presidential yacht was later converted into an oceanographic research vessel by the National Science Foundation, and plans were made to restore her further, but she met an unfortunate end when she sank in her moorings at La Spezia harbour in 2015, and was subsequently scrapped in 2016.

Morning Glory

The navy-hulled Perini Navi sailing yacht Morning Glory has had a colourful past. Originally comissioned by media mogul Rupert Murdoch in 1985, she was delivered in 1993 and eventually bought by the infamous former prime minister of Italy, Silvio Berlusconi, in 1999. Under Berlusconi’s ownership, the 48.2 metre superyacht regularly frequented the Caribbean cruising destination of Antigua, where Berlusconi owned a holiday home, and spent her summers sailing through the Italian Riviera and around the south of France.

Currently for sale with Burgess for a cool $11,000,000, Morning Glory can host up to eight guests in four luxurious suites and features two spacious saloons on board - one with a marble fireplace forward and another with a formal dining area, drinks bar and games table.

BRP Ang Pangulo

Gifted to the Philippines as part of Japan’s post-war reparations, BRP Ang Pangulo was converted into a presidential yacht in the late 1950s and the 77 metre yacht is still in service today. Able to accommodate up to 44 guests and 81 crew members, famous faces believed to have spent time on board include dancers Margot Fonteyn and Rudolf Nureyev, and actress Brooke Shields. 

Under the presidency of Rodrigo Duterte, the vessel was coverted into a hospital ship, and during the COVID-19 pandemic was used as a 28-bed isolation facility for frontline military workers.

Launched in Genoa in 1938 as an auxiliary cruiser for the Yugoslavian Navy, 115 metre Galeb is one of the more controversial presidential yachts on our list. Owned for many years by the first president of Yugoslavia, Josip Broz Tito, she was used as a floating residence, embassy and party boat, hosting Hollywood stars like Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, as well as carrying Tito to London for a state visit in 1953 — the first by any communist leader.

Since Tito’s death in 1980,  Galeb  (which means seagull in Croatian) has fallen into a sorry state, languishing in the port of Rijeka for the past decade. However, plans are afoot to restore and  convert  Galeb  into a museum ship by 2021.

Trump Vs. Biden: Former President Has Lead In New 2024 Election Poll, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Could Hurt Support For Both

A rematch of the 2020 presidential election that saw Joe Biden defeat Donald Trump is likely the same matchup voters will face when heading to the polls for the 2024 presidential election.

A new election poll shows Trump with a lead, but third-party candidates are very much still factoring into the equation.

What Happened : The betting odds show Trump and Biden as the frontrunners to win the 2024 presidential election with Trump favored in most election polls and at sportsbooks that offer betting on the election outcome.

A recent Fox News survey showed Trump with a lead that is the largest since they began polling for the current election cycle. Here are the results and the results from the same poll in February in parentheses.

Trending: What In The World Is Going On With Dogecoin?

Must Read: Tesla Q1 Deliveries Preview: Analysts Cut Targets, 'Nightmare Quarter For Tesla'

Donald Trump : 50% (49%)

Joe Biden: 45% (47%)

When the poll included third-party candidates, Trump and Biden each lost seven percentage points and neither had 50% or more support. The results are the following, with the results from the February poll in parentheses.

Donald Trump: 43% (41%)

Joe Biden: 38% (38%)

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. : 12% (13%)

Jill Stein : 2% (2%)

Cornel West : 2% (3%)

Related Link: Trump Vs. Biden: Current President Surpasses Former President In Latest 2024 Election Poll, How Independent Voters Could Flip The Script

Why It's Important : The latest poll found Trump led the way in both the head-to-head race and when third-party candidates were considered and he posted gains in both, while Biden lost ground in head-to-head and stayed the same in the five-candidate poll.

The poll found that the top concerns of voters are immigration, the economy, election integrity and health care. Of the four items, voters trust Trump more on immigration and the economy and voters trust Biden more on election integrity and health care.

When asked, 22% of voters said they are better off now than they were four years ago, while 52% said they were worse off over the same time period.

Biden received a job approval rating of 41% in the latest poll, which was down one percentage point from February.

Surprisingly, it was Kennedy Jr. who scored the highest in the favorable category, with 47% of voters saying they had a favorable opinion of the third-party candidate, compared to 45% for Trump and 39% for Biden.

While this is one of many 2024 election polls, the results suggest that Kennedy Jr. could put up some of the highest numbers a third-party candidate has had in years and could also lead to neither Biden or Trump getting 50% of the vote.

The Trump camp assails Biden for declaring March 31, Easter Sunday, as Transgender Day of Visibility

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden is facing criticism from Donald Trump's campaign and religious conservatives for proclaiming March 31 — which corresponds with Easter Sunday this year — as “Transgender Day of Visibility.”

The Democratic president issued the proclamation on Friday, calling on “all Americans to join us in lifting up the lives and voices of transgender people throughout our Nation and to work toward eliminating violence and discrimination based on gender identity.”

But in 2024, the March 31 designation overlaps with Easter, one of Christianity’s holiest celebrations. Trump’s campaign accused Biden, a Roman Catholic, of being insensitive to religion, and fellow Republicans piled on.

“We call on Joe Biden’s failing campaign and White House to issue an apology to the millions of Catholics and Christians across America who believe tomorrow is for one celebration only — the resurrection of Jesus Christ,” said Karoline Leavitt, the Trump campaign’s press secretary. She assailed what she called the Biden administration’s “years-long assault on the Christian faith.”

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said on social media that the “Biden White House has betrayed the central tenet of Easter” and called the decision “outrageous and abhorrent.”

White House spokesperson Andrew Bates said the Republicans criticizing Biden “are seeking to divide and weaken our country with cruel, hateful and dishonest rhetoric.”

“As a Christian who celebrates Easter with family, President Biden stands for bringing people together and upholding the dignity and freedoms of every American,” Bates said. “President Biden will never abuse his faith for political purposes or for profit.”

Biden devoutly attends Mass and considers his Catholic upbringing to be a core part of his morality and identity. In 2021, he met with Pope Francis at the Vatican and afterward told reporters that the pontiff said he was a “good Catholic” who should keep receiving Communion.

But Biden’s political stances on gay marriage and support for women having the right to abortion have put him at odds with many conservative Christians.
