Step into the past with these glamorous photos of JFK's presidential yacht

In its day, the 92-foot boat was one of the most luxurious vessels on the sea, housing a presidential state room, a galley, a dining room, and even an elevator - although Lyndon Johnson made the questionable decision of having the elevator removed and replaced with a liquor bar.
Nowadays, America's presidents don't have the luxury of a private yacht, quite simply because it's not a good PR move and also because they now have Air Force One to fly them overseas (for a cost of $206,337 (£132,144) an hour).
However, the Honey Fitz was restored in 2013 for private chartering and Reuters has compiled gorgeous photos of some of the happiest times in John F. Kennedy's life
