BILLFISH INVITATIONAL AUCTION ITEM: “It’s Good to be a Bahamian Pirate” Luxury Bahamas Vacation Package
Enjoy a romantic two night stay at the world renowned Graycliff, an elegant British Colonial mansion high atop Nassau next to the stately Government House of the Bahamas.
Originally built in 1740 by the notorious priate Captain Graysmith, who plunderd treasure throughout the Spanish Main from the deck of his feared Graywolf, this beautiful home offers an enticing world of colonial elegance tucked away from Nassau’s casino glitter. Surrounded by lush tropical gardens in a resplendent poolside setting, Graycliff is many things – but most of all it is a symbol of tradition, history, excellence and a commitment to providing the ultimate in quality and service. Your deluxe room offers all the amenities and comfort you would expect on an estate that has the only five-star restaurant in the entire Caribbean.
Pick your night to enjoy a complimentary four-course “Chef’s Tasting” dinner for two at the award winning Graycliff Restaurant, paired with wine from the award winning wine cellar.
To finish your dinner, select a cigar from your new polished mahogany humidor (6 inches deep), which is highlighted with elegant Guy Harvey artwork. This unique treasure will be signed at the tournament by Guy himself, and delivered fully stocked with a selection of 75 fine cigars.
And, what’s it mean to be a pirate if there isn’t any booty? We’ve done some treasure hunting of our own around the 700 Bahamian islands, and unearthed a stunning Guy Harvey medallion ( 1 1/4” in diameter) forged in sterling silver with a hard fired enamel Blue Marlin image, complete with sterling silver chain and a set of matching pendant earrings.
To quote Johnny Depp….”Life’s pretty good, and why wouldn’t it be? I’m a pirate, after all.” And now, so are you! Donated by Graycliff, Unique Furnishings, JW Cigars and Guy Harvey Fine Jewelry.
