When it came time to capture the women at the heart of our May issue, only something extraordinary would do. Photographer Chris Payne of Payne Media Co set up his shot aboard the Rock of Ages, a stunning Galeon 560 FLY, a masterpiece of European craftsmanship that provided the perfect stage for a cover worthy of the women gracing it.
With the waterfront of Port Royal glowing behind them in the warm light of golden hour, the images practically shot themselves. But behind every seamless charter is a crew that makes it happen. Owner Bill welcomed the team aboard with genuine Naples hospitality, Captain Mike navigated the waters with quiet confidence, and Mate Jill ensured every moment on deck ran without a hitch.
The Rock of Ages isn't just a yacht, she's an experience. And for one unforgettable evening on the water, she was the perfect backdrop for celebrating the remarkable women of Naples.
