Election Night Party aboard Franklin Roosevelt's Presidential Yacht

Election Night Party aboard Franklin Roosevelt's Presidential Yacht

It's the definition of bipartisanship – a real bipartisan ship . On Tuesday, November 4, 100 political partiers of both parties will board the National Historic Landmark presidential yacht Potomac to view the election from Franklin Delano Roosevelt's “floating White House.” The first-of-its kind election night fete will begin at 5pm when the Potomac sails from her home berth in Oakland's Jack London Square just as the polls are closing on the East Coast. After crossing the Bay, the historic vessel will pick up additional political partiers at San Francisco's Pier 40 in the City's South Beach Marina at 5:45pm.

During the three hour cruise, guests will be treated to fine wines courtesy of Foggy Bridge Winery, spirits courtesy of Brown-Forman and food provided by Kincaid's Restaurant of Oakland and Palomino Restaurant of San Francisco. Also making a special onboard appearance that night will be four-time elected president, “Franklin Delano Roosevelt” joined by his faithful dog “Fala.”

The cruise will debark passengers at 8:45pm in San Francisco, and 9:45pm in Oakland, just as the evening's winner will be making his acceptance speech.
