Arguably, one of the most difficult challenges a person might face in life is achieving success while maintaining a balance between work, play, and family. This premise confronts us from our first entry-level job to the boardroom to our golden years—a notion not overlooked by the Rendina brothers.
Overseeing the day-to-day operations of Rendina Healthcare Real Estate and the philanthropic Rendina Family Foundation could easily consume all of the brothers’ waking hours. Despite the challenge, however, Richard and Michael Rendina of Jupiter each maintain a healthy appreciation for the importance of family and fun, along with a shared interest in boating and fishing.
Between the pair, they’ve owned smaller center consoles and a larger, custom-built diesel sportfish yacht. But in the search for the perfect balance to accommodate the needs of their large families (they have eight kids between them) and everyone’s individual interests, the wide-open platform and generous amount of fresh air and deck space offered by the Freeman 42LR is a perfect fit.
This vessel needs to be more than just a serious offshore fishing machine for the Rendinas. The need for easy access into and out of the water, plenty of comfortable seating options both in the sun and the shade, and lots of room to stretch out and find some space for yourself when one of your siblings is pushing your buttons is all very important to this big family. The deck layout on this 42-footer meets each of those needs head-on.
When it’s time to get serious and head offshore, the Freeman 42LR offers features that leave the Rendinas wanting for nothing. Standard equipment includes 2,260 quarts combined of insulated storage space, twin 50-gallon pressurized live wells (with the option to add another pair of 70-gallon live bait tanks), 20 Gemlux rod holders, and
numerous tackle-storage compartments. Optional equipment on this model includes a gap tower with carbon outriggers for spotting fish (and for the boys to jump from), along with a list of comfort and convenience features too numerous to list. This model is also rigged with quad Mercury 350s with joystick controls; a full assortment of LED displays for power, audio system, and lights; and a pair of full dash–width Garmin MFD units.
Whether it’s a Sunday cruise with the whole family, a quick snorkeling trip along the beach, or an offshore assault on the blue water from Jupiter to the Bahamas, finding balance in life and on the water is made much easier for the Rendina family aboard this luxury center console catamaran.
