The yachting world returns to Fort Lauderdale this fall for the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, taking place October 28 through November 1. Among the impressive fleet on display, Paramount Yachts will welcome guests aboard CARPE DIEM, a 2023 Azimut Grande 32M that brings contemporary Italian design and effortless luxury to the water.

Set against the backdrop of one of the world’s most anticipated yachting events, Paramount invites prospective buyers and enthusiasts to experience the yacht firsthand, with private viewings hosted by founder Robert Riva and his team.

Meet CARPE DIEM

Measuring 31.27 meters, CARPE DIEM is a striking example of Azimut’s Grande collection, combining sophisticated interiors, expansive outdoor living spaces and advanced naval architecture.

Delivered in 2023, the yacht has seen limited use and has been meticulously maintained by her longtime captain, offering an opportunity to acquire a near-new vessel without the wait associated with a new build.

Inside, interiors by acclaimed designer Achille Salvagni create an atmosphere of understated elegance, with natural light flowing throughout the yacht. A full-beam owner’s suite offers a spacious private retreat, while four additional guest cabins provide comfortable accommodations for family and friends.

The expansive flybridge features a retractable sunroof, jacuzzi and full bar, creating a setting equally suited to afternoons in the sun and evening cocktails. Forward, oversized sun pads and a private lounge offer a more secluded place to enjoy the open water.

From her sleek exterior profile to her carbon-fibre superstructure and advanced hull design, CARPE DIEM balances aesthetic appeal with impressive performance and efficiency.

The Paramount Experience

For Robert Riva, founder of Paramount Yachts, finding the right yacht goes beyond specifications. With five years of experience as Sales Director for internationally renowned Sunreef Yachts, Riva brings extensive industry knowledge and a personalized approach to helping clients navigate the market.

“I’ve walked a lot of yachts, and CARPE DIEM is one I’m proud to show. The full beam owner’s suite gives you real room to breathe. The beach club opens right onto the water, and the Salvagni interiors are filled with natural light from bow to stern. Come aboard and I’ll show you why she stands out.”

Throughout the show, Riva and the Paramount team will be available to guide guests through CARPE DIEM, offering a closer look at her design, features and capabilities.

The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show offers an opportunity to explore some of the finest yachts on the market, and CARPE DIEM is one worth seeing in person.

As West Palm Beach continues to grow, workforce housing remains an important part of the conversation surrounding the city’s development. Providing housing opportunities for teachers, healthcare professionals, first responders, and other essential workers is a priority that requires collaboration among developers, local organizations, and the philanthropic community.

For Sean Davis, Founder and CEO of Merton Capital Partners, the opportunity lies at the intersection of philanthropy and private investment, where charitable capital can be strategically deployed to expand housing opportunities and generate measurable, long-term community impact.

Rethinking the Role of Philanthropy

Merton Capital Partners operates through a model known as philanthropic private equity, using charitable capital to support private-sector developments that deliver measurable social outcomes.

Traditionally, philanthropic contributions are distributed as grants or donations. Merton’s approach introduces another possibility: structuring philanthropic investments as loans or equity that can eventually be returned and reinvested.

In workforce housing, this capital can help developers address financing gaps, support reduced rental rates, or make additional residential projects financially feasible. The model is designed to create a continuing cycle of investment, with funds potentially supporting new developments after their initial deployment.

“There isn’t a lot of capital in the system to build housing for the people who need it,” said Davis. “We want to use philanthropy to step into the private market of private housing and allow developers who have capacity to build more to do so.”

From Wall Street to West Palm Beach

Before founding Merton Capital Partners, Sean Davis built his career in private equity, beginning at J.P. Morgan in New York before joining Advent International and later Saratoga Partners, where he specialized in leveraged buyouts and corporate restructurings.

After years in finance, Davis began seeking a greater sense of purpose in his work, eventually transitioning into the nonprofit sector. At The Lord’s Place and later The Salvation Army of Palm Beach County, he witnessed firsthand the challenges charitable organizations face in securing consistent funding while addressing complex community needs.

That experience sparked an idea: What if the investment strategies he knew so well could be applied to philanthropy?

Davis discovered that the concept wasn’t entirely new. Program-related investments, which allow foundations to invest in mission-driven ventures, have existed since the 1960s but remain relatively underutilized.

Recognizing an opportunity to bridge these two worlds, Davis founded Merton Capital Partners, combining his financial expertise with his nonprofit experience to develop an investment model capable of moving the needle on some of the community’s most pressing challenges.

Expanding the Model

Merton Capital Partners’ first initiative, The Spruce, demonstrates the potential of its philanthropic investment model. Located in West Palm Beach’s Northwood neighborhood, the 270-residence development by Affiliated Development offers both market-rate and workforce housing.

Through a $100,000 zero-interest philanthropic loan, Merton helped reduce rent for a two-bedroom residence by approximately $1,000 per month for ten years, representing $120,000 in potential savings. Unlike a traditional donation, the original capital is structured to be returned and reinvested in future housing projects.

Building on this success, Merton is pursuing additional developments in West Palm Beach, with a pipeline representing more than $100 million in philanthropic capital and over 1,300 residences. Projects include a committed 191-residence development and two proposed 270-residence developments, using financing strategies ranging from gap financing to philanthropic equity.

As these projects progress, Merton aims to bring its philanthropic investment model to more developments, both within Palm Beach County and beyond.

A Collaborative Approach to Housing

Workforce housing is a recognized priority in Palm Beach County, which maintains programs intended to increase housing opportunities for residents employed in the local economy.

Merton Capital Partners adds another financing approach to that broader effort, connecting philanthropic resources with private development expertise. For Davis, the focus is on creating investments that produce measurable outcomes while preserving the potential for continued giving.

As West Palm Beach’s residential landscape evolves, initiatives such as The Spruce offer a practical example of how philanthropy can participate in housing development. And with additional projects in the pipeline, Merton Capital Partners is working to extend that approach to more residences, more developments, and potentially more communities.

Reimagining Cuban cuisine and making Michelin history in West Palm Beach

In a quiet corner of West Palm Beach’s historic Flamingo Park neighborhood, a remarkable culinary story is unfolding. Behind the doors of Emelina, an intimate 16-seat chef’s counter, Cuban cuisine is being reconsidered through a lens of imagination, global influence and extraordinary technique.

Just four months after opening in February, Emelina made history at the 2026 Michelin Guide Florida ceremony, becoming the first Cuban restaurant in the world to earn a Michelin Star and the first restaurant in The Palm Beaches to receive the distinction.

But what makes Emelina particularly compelling is not simply the recognition. It is the question at the heart of the restaurant: What might Cuban cuisine have become if it had been free to evolve through cultural exchange, creativity and abundance?

A Different Expression of Cuban Cuisine

Rather than recreating familiar Cuban dishes, Emelina explores the cuisine’s possibilities.

The restaurant’s single tasting menu draws inspiration from Cuban culinary traditions while incorporating contemporary techniques, international influences and the ingredients available along Florida’s coastline.

Each course is guided by the seasons and shaped by relationships with local farmers, fishermen and producers. The result is a deeply personal interpretation of Cuban cuisine, one that honors its origins without being confined by expectations.

It is an approach that feels especially relevant in South Florida, where cultures, culinary traditions and generations of immigration have long influenced the way people cook and eat.

The Creative Minds Behind Emelina

At the center of Emelina are husband-and-wife chef owners Osmel González and Camila Salazar, whose careers have taken them through some of the world’s most respected kitchens.

Cuban-born González has worked across the United States, Spain and Japan, with experience at Jean-Georges’ Matador Room, Barcelona’s acclaimed Disfrutar and California’s three-Michelin-starred SingleThread, where he served as sous chef.

Salazar, originally from Medellín, Colombia, brings an equally international perspective, having trained at Matador Room, Disfrutar and SingleThread.

Together, they previously helped shape EntreNos, the Miami restaurant recognized with a Michelin Star in 2024 and 2025 and a Michelin Green Star in 2025 for its commitment to sustainability. Their experience informs an approach to cooking that places equal importance on technical precision, responsible sourcing and the creative possibilities of seasonal ingredients.

Joining them is Álvaro Pérez Miranda, a Venezuelan-born restaurateur whose career includes 15 years in Tokyo overseeing more than 70 restaurant projects. His portfolio also includes several Miami dining destinations, among them Michelin-starred Ogawa. Together, the three have created a restaurant where a thoughtful approach to hospitality balances culinary ambition.

Sixteen Seats, One Experience

Emelina’s dining room is designed around a single chef’s counter that gently wraps around an open kitchen, placing guests at the center of the culinary process.

With just 16 seats, the experience feels closer to an intimate gathering than a conventional restaurant service. Guests watch as each course takes shape, observing the precision, collaboration and movement that go into the tasting menu.

The restaurant’s hospitality philosophy draws from Japanese traditions that have influenced their approach.

Omotenashi, the Japanese philosophy of wholehearted hospitality, inspires an intuitive approach to anticipating guests’ needs. Sensei reflects a dedication to mentorship, craft and continuous learning, while Komakai emphasizes the importance of even the smallest details.

These principles come together in an experience designed to feel warm, personal, and unhurried, allowing the food and the people preparing it to remain the focus.

A Milestone for Palm Beach Dining

Emelina’s Michelin recognition marks an important moment not only for its founders but also for the growing culinary identity of West Palm Beach.

The city’s dining scene has evolved considerably in recent years, attracting ambitious concepts and talented chefs. Emelina’s achievement brings a new level of international recognition to that momentum.

By approaching Cuban cuisine as something that can continue to evolve, González and Salazar are opening a conversation about tradition, identity, and the possibilities that emerge when chefs are given the freedom to imagine something new.

In West Palm Beach, wellness is increasingly becoming part of the architecture of everyday life. At Olara, the waterfront residential development rising along North Flagler Drive, that idea is being taken quite literally.

At the center of the development’s approach is a 30,000-square-foot fitness and wellness center created in partnership with Jay Wright, founder of The Wright Fit, who was given the opportunity to think beyond the traditional residential gym and design an environment where movement, recovery and well-being become an effortless part of daily life.

The result is a comprehensive wellness ecosystem designed not simply around working out, but around how residents want to live.

Starting With a Blank Canvas

For Wright, the opportunity at Olara began with something rarely afforded in residential fitness: a blank canvas.

Rather than fitting equipment into a predetermined room, The Wright Fit was able to help shape the experience from the beginning. The sixth-floor amenity deck incorporates dedicated turf lanes, open training spaces and areas intended for functional and performance-based movement, allowing residents to approach fitness according to their individual routines and goals.

It is an approach rooted in The Wright Fit’s CenterPoint philosophy, which considers physical wellness alongside emotional, cognitive and spiritual energy.

The idea is that wellness should not feel like another appointment on the calendar. When thoughtfully incorporated into the place you call home, movement and restoration can simply become part of the day.

Beyond the Fitness Floor

Olara’s vision also extends well beyond traditional training.

An immersive hydrothermal spa experience creates space for recovery and relaxation, complementing the more active elements of the wellness center. Together, the spaces are intended to support both performance and restoration, recognizing that longevity is about more than how hard you train.

That balance is central to The Wright Fit’s approach at Olara. Instead of treating fitness, recovery and overall well-being as separate experiences, the development brings them together within one environment.

The result is less a collection of amenities and more a lifestyle built around feeling well.

Wellness That Lives With You

There is a noticeable shift happening within luxury residential design. The most compelling amenities are no longer necessarily the ones residents use for an occasional indulgence, but those that can meaningfully improve everyday life.

At Olara, wellness is positioned accordingly.

Residents can move from their home to a training session, spend time recovering and return to the rest of their day without ever leaving the property. It is a level of convenience that makes consistency easier, but the larger idea goes beyond convenience.

By integrating movement, recovery and longevity into the residential experience itself, Olara and The Wright Fit are creating an environment designed to encourage habits that can last.

Through its partnership with Jay Wright and The Wright Fit, Olara is placing that philosophy at the center of the residential experience. Here, the ultimate amenity may not be something residents simply have access to, but something that becomes part of how they live.

Since opening its doors at The Royal Poinciana Plaza, Glazer Hall has added another dimension to one of Palm Beach’s most recognizable destinations, bringing live music, theater and cultural programming into the heart of the island.

This fall, its calendar comes to life with an eclectic lineup of performances alongside a special evening with the Historical Society of Palm Beach County.

Before settling into a seat for the season ahead, Palm Beachers will have the opportunity to experience Glazer Hall from a different perspective…

A Stroll Through The Royal

On October 8, the Young Friends of the Historical Society of Palm Beach County will take over The Royal Poinciana Plaza for A Stroll Through The Royal, the latest installment of the organization’s Cocktails in Paradise series.

Designed to bring history, culture and community together in some of Palm Beach County’s most distinctive settings, Cocktails in Paradise offers a chance to experience familiar places through a new lens.

For this edition, guests will spend the evening exploring The Royal while enjoying private tours of Paul Labrecque and Glazer Hall, handcrafted cocktails, light bites and time to shop and mingle throughout the plaza.

History Takes Center Stage

The evening will also feature a special performance by a string quartet from Dreyfoos School of the Arts, bringing another layer of live music to Glazer Hall while celebrating the next generation of local artistic talent.

It is a fitting pairing for an evening centered around Palm Beach’s past and present. The Royal has long been part of the fabric of island life, and the October gathering offers guests the opportunity to learn more about its story while experiencing the destinations shaping its next chapter.

A new season is beginning to take shape in Palm Beach and West Palm Beach, bringing with it fresh places to dine, shop, sip and move. From a reimagined island gas station and a Monaco favorite to new fitness concepts and an iconic Italian jeweler, there is plenty to have on your radar.

Here is what we are watching.

Gab’s Organics

One of Palm Beach’s most familiar stops is getting an entirely new identity. Gab’s Organics is reimagining the island’s historic Sunoco as a modern neighborhood destination where filling the tank might be only the beginning.

Led by Chef Gabrielle, the concept will bring together quality fuel with morning coffee, chef-driven grab-and-go meals, thoughtfully sourced snacks and everything needed for an impromptu beach picnic. It is a distinctly Palm Beach take on convenience, transforming an everyday errand into something considerably more appetizing.

White’s Apothecary at Green’s Pharmacy

A little bit of the Hamptons is heading south as White’s Apothecary joins forces with Palm Beach institution Green’s Pharmacy.

The pairing brings together two longtime names with devoted followings in their respective communities. Green’s has been part of Palm Beach since 1938, making the arrival of the Hamptons apothecary an intriguing meeting of two established East Coast favorites.

HOTKOR Reformer

One arrival Palm Beachers can already try is HOTKOR Reformer, the latest concept from West Palm Beach fitness and recovery studio HOTKOR.

The new Florida Avenue studio expands the HOTKOR universe into equipment-based training, with Xformer classes joining the brand’s existing emphasis on movement and recovery. The new location is now welcoming clients, making it the first on our list to officially move from “coming soon” to “now open.”

Avenue 31

Monte Carlo is coming to Palm Beach with the anticipated arrival of Avenue 31.

Born on Avenue Princesse Grace in Monaco, the restaurant is known for a refined but relaxed approach to Italian and Mediterranean dining, with fresh seafood, artisanal pastas and seasonal dishes at the center of its menu. Its arrival in Palm Beach promises to bring a taste of the Riviera to the island.

Coffee at The Church Mouse

Soon there will be another reason to linger at The Church Mouse. A new grab-and-go coffee counter is planned for the beloved South County Road shop, adding a caffeine stop to the treasure hunt.

The counter is expected to serve locally roasted Pumphouse Coffee, with proceeds supporting the charitable outreach of Bethesda-by-the-Sea. Palm Beach Town Council has already approved the special exception for the concept.

Tracy Anderson Studio

Palm Beach’s fitness scene is getting another notable addition with a permanent Tracy Anderson Studio on the way.

The celebrity-followed fitness method has developed a devoted audience around its distinctive movement-based workouts. A permanent island home will give local devotees a dedicated destination for the method beyond its seasonal presence.

BVLGARI

Palm Beach’s luxury shopping landscape continues to grow, this time with one of Rome’s most recognizable names.

BVLGARI is set to join the island, bringing the Italian house’s jewelry, watches and unmistakably bold Roman aesthetic to Palm Beach. The arrival adds another major international name to an already formidable luxury retail scene.

Lillys at The Nora Hotel

West Palm Beach is about to get a new view. Lilly’s, the rooftop destination at the forthcoming Nora Hotel, will bring an elevated escape to the neighborhood with bright cocktails, a sparkling pool and expansive views across the city.

Designed as a refreshing change of scenery above the energy of Nora, Lilly’s is shaping up to be a new spot for poolside afternoons, sunset drinks and a different perspective on West Palm Beach.

The Season Ahead

Palm Beach has never been one to stand still. This season’s newest arrivals bring fresh energy to familiar corners of the island, while introducing a few names that may soon become local favorites. From morning coffee and afternoon workouts to dinner reservations and Worth Avenue shopping, there is plenty to come.

Altima Caviar introduces Salt & Sturgeon, a new direct-to-consumer caviar brand created to make one of the world’s most celebrated delicacies feel a little more approachable, while preserving the quality, sourcing and expertise behind every tin.

Shaped by the sea and cured by the salt of the earth, Salt & Sturgeon approaches caviar with a simple philosophy: refined, never intimidating.

From Altima, A New Approach

Since its founding, Altima Caviar has built its reputation through carefully sourced caviar, trusted relationships and a commitment to traceability and responsible sourcing.

Salt & Sturgeon takes that foundation in a new direction.

Created with the consumer in mind, the brand brings exceptional caviar directly to the table, whether that means an intimate dinner at home, a celebration with friends, an unexpected hostess gift or simply opening a tin because Tuesday felt like reason enough.

The idea is not to change the ritual surrounding caviar, but to make it easier to enjoy.

Refined, Never Intimidating

At the heart of Salt & Sturgeon is the belief that luxury should feel generous rather than complicated.

Caviar can come with its own vocabulary, traditions and expectations, which can make choosing a tin feel more intimidating than it needs to be. Salt & Sturgeon strips away some of that formality while protecting what makes the experience special.

The goal is to make the details clear, guide customers toward the right selection and give both longtime caviar lovers and curious newcomers the confidence to make the ritual their own.

A New Creative Identity

Behind the look and feel of Salt & Sturgeon is Gabriella Fasciani, who serves as Creative Director of the new brand. With a passion for branding, the opportunity to build Salt & Sturgeon from the ground up was an exciting creative undertaking for Fasciani. Creating a brand world that evokes emotion through its visual identity, voice and experience is at the heart of her approach.

From its identity to the experience surrounding each tin, Gabriella envisioned Salt & Sturgeon as a brand that could retain the sophistication associated with caviar while feeling fresh, inviting and distinctly modern.

“Salt & Sturgeon was created to share our love of caviar in a way that feels approachable and exceptionally chic. I wanted to build a world around the brand that captures the feeling of enjoying caviar, while making the experience feel inviting rather than intimidating,” says Fasciani.

The result is a brand that feels equally at home beside a beautifully set dinner table, packed as a thoughtful gift or passed around among friends.

A Reason to Open the Tin

Salt & Sturgeon represents a new chapter for Altima and a new way for consumers to experience the expertise behind it.

The sourcing remains thoughtful. The quality remains paramount. What changes is the invitation.

Save it for something special, bring it to dinner or make an ordinary night decidedly less ordinary. Salt & Sturgeon is designed around the idea that enjoying caviar should feel effortless.

After all, sometimes the occasion is simply having the caviar.

This October, art, nature and philanthropy come together at one of West Palm Beach’s most distinctive settings.

On October 16, the Perry J. Cohen Foundation will present Art With A Heart, a benefit auction at the historic Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens featuring works by more than 50 internationally recognized and emerging artists.

Set throughout the Gardens’ two-acre sanctuary, the evening will bring together collectors, community leaders, environmental advocates and supporters around a shared purpose: using the power of art to create opportunities for the next generation.

A Collection With Purpose

The auction brings an impressive range of contemporary art to Palm Beach, with works by Jeff Koons, Shepard Fairey, RETNA, Carole Feuerman, David LaChapelle, Mr. Brainwash, Hunt Slonem, David Yarrow, Andres Valencia and many more.

The entire collection will be on view at the Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens from October 8 through October 16, leading into the benefit evening.

A live auction, presented in partnership with Palm Beach Modern Auctions, will take place on October 16. An accompanying online silent auction opens October 8, expanding the offering beyond fine art to include luxury goods, sports memorabilia and one-of-a-kind experiences.

But the works on the walls are only part of the story.

Where Art Creates Impact

Art With A Heart reflects the four pillars at the center of the Perry J. Cohen Foundation: the arts, environmental and marine education, youth entrepreneurship and boating safety.

Since its founding, PJCF has helped send more than 1,000 children to boating safety classes and provided underserved youth with opportunities to participate in boating, sailing and environmental programs.

Its impact can also be seen in the Perry J. Cohen Wetlands Laboratory at Jupiter Community High School, for which the Foundation raised more than $600,000, and through an endowment at the University of Miami Rosenstiel School supporting scholarships for students studying oceans and the environment.

The Foundation has also supported wildlife organizations, arts education and exhibitions centered around marine life, environmental preservation and the natural world.

Each initiative carries forward Perry’s own interests while giving young people the opportunity to discover passions of their own.

Art, Nature and the Next Generation

Proceeds from Art With A Heart will allow that work to continue. A portion will benefit the Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens, supporting an institution where art, education and nature have long existed side by side.

Additional support will benefit Loggerhead Marinelife Center and the Perry J. Cohen Boating Safety & Ocean Stewardship Course, including a floating classroom designed to give children firsthand experience with South Florida’s waterways and natural environment.

For participating artist Shepard Fairey, who also designed the Perry J. Cohen Foundation logo, the connection between creativity and the Foundation’s mission is a natural one.

“Art has the power to educate, inspire, and spark real movement.”

It is a philosophy that resonates throughout the evening. Art becomes more than something to collect. It becomes a way to educate, inspire and invest in what comes next.

Perry J. Cohen & Family

Event Details

Art With A Heart takes place Friday, October 16 from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens, 253 Barcelona Road in West Palm Beach. The artwork will be on view beginning October 8, with the silent auction also opening online that day.

The Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens will provide a fitting backdrop for the cause. Guests will gather among its monumental sculptures and tropical landscape for a sunset reception featuring music, signature cocktails and seasonal hors d’oeuvres before the evening’s live auction and presentation.

The Foundation will also share updates on its recent scholarships, community programs and upcoming grant initiatives, giving guests a closer look at where their support goes beyond the evening itself.

“Perry’s passion for the arts, the ocean, and creative exploration continues to guide everything we do,” says Pamela J. Cohen, Founder and President of the Perry J. Cohen Foundation.
