Annapolis startup AeroVanti Air Club expands into rentable yachts

AeroVanti, an Annapolis luxury flight club, is expanding beyond the skies into the sea to bring a touch of James Bond-chic to Maryland. The rapidly growing travel company has launched the AeroVanti Yacht Club, a venture that offers three vessels for charter. The boats will be rented similar to how planes are chartered through AeroVanti, with a professional captain and crew on board. The most notable vessel is the “Casino Royale,” the same type of Sunseeker Predator that appeared in the 2006 James Bond movie “Casino Royale” as the main base of the villainous Le Chiffre. The two other boats are smaller than the 108-foot ship made famous by Hollywood, a 50-foot sportfishing boat, and a 50-foot sailing boat.
