There have been two mega yachts in the Charleston Harbor over the last few days. This one, however, is not hosting Will Smith and wife Jada Pinkett Smith, as some local radio DJs speculated this morning.
The ship anchored just west of the USS Yorktown is the Seafair, which is among the world's 10 largest privately owned yachts, according to its website. The ship travels the globe hosting fine art fairs. The $40 million ship is not open for tours in Charleston this weekend, but a spokeswoman for the ship’s operator said a formal stop in Charleston may be in the future.
This weekend, the Seafair is moored in Charleston Harbor waiting out expected bad weather, spokeswoman Ashlea Heck said. The ship is traveling from an art festival in Morehead City, N.C., to another show in Tampa.
