Welcome to Mercury Yacht Charters, the only classic yacht dinner cruise and chartering opportunity on the Gulf Coast.

A piece of American history, Mercury is a fully restored 47 foot Elco Deluxe Cruiser built at the end of World War II. Elco was one of the preeminent yacht builders of it's time, with a client list including tycoons, movie stars, and royalty.

A later model Elco, Mercury is a rare vessel. Of 11 hulls built, only 3 remain. Mercury is the only boat that has been maintained in the spirit of her original design...the last of a scarce breed.

Mercury is a romantic boat, with a history of exotic getaways for celebrities of the day, including our personal favorites: John Wayne and Lana Turner.

Now offered for charter for the first time in her 64 year history, Mercury is a chance to experience the rarity of a classic yacht in its prime with the comfort of modern systems.

New in 2010 - we now allow up to 12 passengers and have full food, wine and beer offerings on board for all our cruises. We offer private charters with something for everyone. Please browse our pages and come join us for a shared or custom cruise.

Thank you for visiting our site,

The Crew of Mercury
