PHOTOS: 2nd Annual IBA Sails With Pride
On Sunday — smack in the middle of the Pride festivities at Penn’s Landing — the Freedom Elite set sail on the Delaware for Independence Business Alliance’s (IBA) 2nd Annual Sails With Pride event. Attendees were welcomed onto the private yacht by a tall, dark, handsome (and shirtless!) stud, and a beautiful blonde woman. Once everyone was checked in, the Freedom Elite left the dock and the PRIDE lunch began. The dress code for the afternoon? Summer chic. darling.

The party quickly kicked off with continuous music, and an open mimosa, Bloody Mary, wine, and beer bar. Guests mingled and enjoyed the scenic two-hour tour of Penn’s Landing from both the air-conditioned interior, and the sunny deck. The lunch on the ride was buffet-style, comprising fixings like prime rib, salmon, fresh salad, and more.
It was a great afternoon — being close, but far enough away from all the craziness at Penn’s Landing. Definitely a great option for next year’s Pride celebrations.
