L-Class Coastal Tour Features Stunning L650 Fly

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (May 7, 2014) — Sea Ray’s recently launched L-Class yachts have ushered in a new era in luxury yachting, with impeccable style built on a foundation of exceptional substance. To celebrate this new age of inspired luxury, Sea Ray is sending the L-Class flagship, the L650 Fly, on a tour of the East Coast of the United States, with invitation-only events in six major yachting ports of call.

“The L-Class represents a new paradigm for us and for yachting in general,” said Sea Ray Group President Tim Schiek. “True style must be backed up by true performance, and with the L650 Fly we’ve shown that America’s leading boat company can combine world-class aesthetics and grace with the power, functionality, reliability and ingenuity that only Sea Ray can provide. We are all very proud of this yacht and the L-Class program, and are excited to share it with true yachting aficionados everywhere.”

Each event on the L-Class Coastal Tour Experience will be held at a remarkable private waterfront residence where invited guests can take their time enjoying not only the L650Fly, but also offerings from several carefully selected luxury goods providers.

“The L-Class and the L650 Fly have changed the landscape in the luxury yachting sector, and so we felt we needed to introduce the L650 Fly to its potential buyers with a new level of sophistication,” said Matt Guilford, the Sea Ray Group’s vice president of marketing. “These upscale, exclusive events will feature the same kind of attention to detail and personalization that the L650 Fly will deliver to its owners.”

The L-Class Coastal Tour Experience is sponsored by an exclusive group of luxury brands, including Aston Martin showcasing their latest offering of renowned sports cars, Ghurka debuting their fine leather goods, and the William Grant Group featuring Glenfiddich Speyside single malt Scotch whisky and other fine spirits.

“Sea Ray’s L-Class offering entails so much more than standard-setting vessels; it’s a comprehensive, personalized approach to yacht acquisition and ownership. Sea Ray and our dealers have unparalleled resources when it comes to service and responsiveness in North America, and we’re pleased to introduce this luxurious experience to potential owners in an intimate setting reflective of the L-Class ethos,” said Schiek.
